The studying part...

By the way, by seeing these pictures you might have a misleading idea that all I'm doing is having fun in Paris every weekend - nope! Our workload at school is getting bigger and bigger and every day we have more stuff to read and group work to be done and I must confess that I had a very busy week and the next one promises to be even worse.

The highlight of the previous week was the Marketing class. The professor is excellent (and he knows it!), so he enters in class, introduces himself and after that jumps straight to the case study that was available for us in our pigeon holes. Since a lot of people had not read the case, students' faces were a mix of scare and anxiety, because he was asking them to raise relevant questions about the case and give their answers.

And the professor is very tough and does not allow people to just talk bla, bla, bla and you need to give him direct answers. Questions are like "Do you agree with this?" and the answer should be concise and short "Yes" or "No" and a brief explanation why. If you do not start your answer with that, he will not even allow you to continue speaking. People were just flabbergasted trying to understand what was going on.

The worst part was when he came to a guy who was sitting just behind me and asked:
- Do you agree with the opinion of that girl?
- Huhhh, yes
- Then what did she just say?
- Well...she said that...
- What was the question?

The professor was just shooting the poor guy!

You have to focus 100% of the time.

Anyway, since Marketing can be quite vague, I thought the class was very good because I'm sure everyone will prepare accordingly for the next sessions.
