First Step on the Last Path

The first weekend of the last semester is underway. We are all looking forward to finishing and getting our lives back, but we have been mentioning to each other about how we will miss catching up with each other every couple of weeks.

Old courses have all been wrapped up and (most) grades received. For the most part I believe that people were happy. There weren`t any final exams, so all of the marks were based on essays. This has it`s advantages and disadvantages, but I believe that most students preferred this method to final exams.

New courses will be starting this weekend, although everyone has started making their predictions based on course outlines.

8 weekends of school work left - Corporate Strategy, Information Systems, Mergers and Acquisitions or New Capitalism and Major Project.

The semester culminates with the class trip to Hong Kong and Tokyo. It will be a bittersweet as it will be a lot of fun, but it will also probably be the last time we will all be together (save for graduation). Lots to look forward to.
