EuroTrip - Day 23

3 Classes 9 Hours

As I think of the title for the post, I realize that I have almost spent a third of my time here in Paris. The empty packets of maggie also point to the same. It's a good time that we have spent here. With so many different moods, jokes and feelings each and every moment has been special. We have tried our best to live it to the fullest.

College is a weekly event now. Every Tuesday and Wednesday, we make the visit to the college, attend classes, try to finish the assignment in the class itself and come back home to plan the next trip. It's a very monotonous life, but I better not complaint.

Actually ESCP is a real nice place to be. There are people from so many different backgrounds and culture that it always feels like to be in a mela when you are in college [There are around 200 students on exchange right now]. Everybody seem to enjoy their time here. Other students (read non-IIMA) take the courses and studies really serious and thanks to them we are up-to-date with our work too [thought at times, they are too irritating. They are just too much serious about their studies].

For a change, I went prepared for the Marketing Strategy class and contributed to the discussion. And things worked for us in the end. With a giant leap, our company is positioned at 2nd place in the market. Alas, it's just a game. Next week, the class should be even more fun.

Negotiations is an amazing course. With workshop kind of methodlogy, classes keep us involved all along. The new case has some relation with information technology, so I had a lot to contribute for my team. We have not yet started the negotiations though.

Technology Transfer class was boring. The prof had given some assignment question in the last class. We conveniently forgot about them. But, that was not the best thing to do. Some fighters had prepared jazzy presentation (with no content) and presented their 'analysis' of the problem to the class. And to our bad luck, professor coldcalled everyone. We have been given an assignment now to be completed and submitted before the next class. Ye aane wale week me kuch fight marna hi padega.

In the evening, there was some music concert in the college, but somehow I did not have any enthu to stay back for that. The walk on my way back was quite pleasant. iPod rocks.
I am in the process of sorting the photos from the trip. You will get to see the best moments soon.

Till then, Adios
