End of Mid-Terms
As of friday, half the first term officially ended. That is to say, we had our mid-terms. Thankfully, of the 6 subjects that we're studying in this term, "only" 2 are exam based, the other 4 are going to be graded on a combination of pop-quizzes, class participation and end-of-term reports.
So after taking the Corporate Financial Accounting and Decision Analysis exams on subsequent days, the entire IESE community seemed to have relaxed a bit. You could see people on campus sipping beers, sunning themselves - incidentally, that's another thing I love about Barcelona : it's november and I can still roam around the streets wearing a tee and shorts during the day... it gets chilly at night though.
Come friday night and students from all 3 sections attended a dinner party organised by the student-reps of the 3 sections. Needless to say, almost everyone who had stayed back in Barcelona was present, which meant a LOT of stories were swapped, among other things. Stories of people falling asleep during exams, people getting stalked, people singing aloud in the streets, more people falling asleep in class, the COW (Comment of the Week)... anything that could invoke laughter was there. The entire lot then went to the BOW (Bar of the week) to a posh nightclub, where followed more drinking and dancing.
Which brings me to today, i.e. a tiny hangover and cover letters. Completely unrelated subjects, of course. With summer internship deadlines looming around the corner, I better finish sending my cover letters across to employers before it's late!
