Here we go – just two weeks before school starts again. It means just four months before the classes will be done. My feelings about it are mostly on the sad side – it was such a great year, and I want more! On the other hand, it is really exciting (and a bit scary!) to go into the real world again. I believe that new and exciting opportunities are around the corner. However, we all have to work really hard to turn those opportunities into something concrete. It means networking, networking and networking. Together with research and probably even some serious conversations with yourself – what exactly do I want??
Summer was great – busy with an internship, but it was also a lot of fun – trips to Okanagan, hiking, sailing, biking, roller-skating…. And now we are second-years, telling the incoming class the stories about the Core and ropes course… The time is flying unbelievably fast!
Anyway, September is almost here, two more periods are ahead and a lot of events are coming.
The most important one is a sailing regatta in Italy in the end of the September. The UBC MBA Sailing team is training hard and we are really looking forward to it.
There are a lot of things to be done prior to our departure. First of all, we need to have a good uniform for the team with the Sauder logo. We want to look professional, and a matching uniform is something that really helps to create the right impression.
The other thing we need to do is to fundraise some money to help the team. In order to do that we are organizing a BBQ at the MBA House for the incoming class, exchange and part-time students. The event will take place on Saturday, August,28th at 5-30pm.
The other thing that keeps me busy is a yearbook. I am putting together the pictures from this amazing year, trying to keep the memories. It is turning out great, I can`t wait to see it printed!
It was a great summer, and it is going to be a great fall, I am looking forward to all the adventures!
Stay tuned!
