Being busy or something

It's been many days since the last update. Ooops. Well, a lot of stuff has happened and somehow updating the blog hasn't been on top of the list of priorities. Quick recap of the past days:

- Lots of classes and tests. Classes on management of intellectual capital (MIC) and managerial economics (ME). In-class tests for the both subjects. For MIC the test was actually(!) mid-term and its weight on the overall grade is 30%. Not a small test then. I think it went pretty well for me, somehow it just felt too easy. In ME we had second quiz in the class, not a great success for me. I think I scored only 2/5. :/
- Group work project work for almost class that we have.
- Birthday party on Thursday. One of the most memorable bday parties I've ever had! I share the bday with a fellow student, Hungarian David, so we had a combined party arranged by the Hungarian posse. Lots of cool people, lots of beer (Thanks guys for the present: 26 cans of beer! :) All of them had one character in and they said "Dear Joona, happy birthday!" which equals to 26 characters :)), good company, freaking delicious Hungarian food. Whats not to like. Also, the pink tissues and kinder egg with a pink car inside were so cool :D
- On Friday we had MITIM research seminar where there were representatives from few large multinational companies (Intel, Nokia, Microsoft, Sato, ULS group, Human search) telling about current business climate and challenges as well as future trends especially in IT and technology management. Afterwards there was a cocktail reception with the same people and some of our professors, during which we got the chance to really get insights from the business representatives which was cool. Overall really cool event (and offered an opportunity to suit up :D)
- Today we had presentation skills seminar. Quite a waste of time in a way, even though it is good to think about this kind of stuff time to time. 7 hours was waaaayy too long time for this kind of event.
- Also, today we had a blackout. A colleague of mine was stuck in the elevator for 3 hours in the dark....

So, many things have happened. Next week is going to be even crazier! I don't have the energy to go through it now, maybe I'll post update tomorrow. But lets just say as a teaser, that we have again school from Monday to Friday....
