Exams are on, baby!

It’s finals time. My course at university is drawing to a close, and I must say it is tough. Had two exams already - Managing Business Organisations and Business Strategy - and, well, what can I say, we’ll see.

What’s left? Here is the list:

  1. International Marketing - 29 April
  2. Social Organisations of Organisations - 1 May
  3. International Trade and Finance Law - 7 May
  4. Marketing Communications - 11 May
  5. Consumer Behaviour for Marketing - 12 May
  6. Approaches to E-business - 14 May

When I first realised I am going to have 8 exams I was like ‘!@£$%^*’!!! Now, after having sat two most difficult ones I am trying to have fun with it, I mean this is my topic area after all. Well, we’ll see how it goes.

Favourite pastime: books

Meanwhile I finished the Warren Buffett book. I am a fan, that’s all I am going to say at this stage.

Now I’m reading 'Napoleon: The Path to Power' by an Australian author Philip Dwyer, one of the two books (along with De Oratore by Cicero) I didn’t manage to complete last summer (in large part courtesy to the massive Buffett biography). So far it is an amazing read. I mean Napoleon is such a fascinating character, you have to love him.

Jogging along the Thames

What else? I haven't been to the gym for like a month now, in stead I started jogging along the Thames. I do that whenever I can and I must say it is way more relaxing and a fun thing to do than going to the gym. I miss Soho Gyms, though.
