Here we go…
It’s been already three weeks since the MBA’s kick-off and we have been bombarded with input since day one – 180 amazing individuals from all over the world, brought together to work, exchange ideas and of course, have fun! A total of 47 nationalities and 33 spoken languages, made obvious since the beginning that this was bound to be a powerful experience.
Lectures and assignments became hectic so fast. Professors’ high expectations further stressed the importance of working together with our workgroups in order to achieve the best possible results in a timely manner (and that going out 5 nights a week like we used to was incompatible with the MBA!).
My workgroup consists of a German, a Brazilian, an Italian/Spanish, a Greek/Italian, a Lebanese and a Taiwanese. I guess ESADE wasn’t using the word diversity just for marketing purposes! This academic experience is completely different from what I had experienced during my undergrad in Rome.
And now, just a week away from PRE-TERM’s end and the exams just around the corner the tension is rising….what to expect? I guess we will soon find out!
