End of week 2. I can only say that I am loving this more with every day. Regular lectures this week, the highlights being a dinner with EMBAs and the Mo Bro meeting.
An EMBA dinner is supposed to provide an opportunity to network with executive MBAs. Unfortunately, I was a bit late for this one due to confusion about the venue. Saw the college electronic display saying "19:00 EMBA Founder's Room" to only discover that it is really in St Hughs, as originally planned. Not that bad, you say? Almost, except that St Hughs is at least 20 minutes from SBS. By the time I reached people were already on the dinner table. Damn! Nevertheless, consoled poor me with the good food. No cooking for dinner at least! It was good to listen to Dr Chambers as well and discover that the CEO of CISCO was somewhere in the room. Some more consolation there! Overall, it was a good experience, though I did not exactly enjoy the 30 minute walk to home in the freezing night.
On the fun end, a group of MBA men, including me, have decided to grow moustache for the month of November to raise money for prostate cancer, a disease that affects 1 in 10 men in Europe. Please feel free to donate at http://uk.movember.com/. I have never grown a moustache before; will post some pics when I get there. I just hope I don’t end up scaring myself (or my wife) by end of November. Who would have thought that facial hair can generate so much fun?
Besides that, I feel I have been a bit lax till now with acads and may need to tighten the belt in the coming weeks. But that would have to wait for the Arsenal Vs Manchester City match today :)
