A new star is born

I am happy to present to you a new star in the London Business School blogging constellation: Hobbes! Welcome to the blogging community and happy blogging :-)

We've started our last week of Orientation classes this week, and next week term will start in earnest. No more stats and ethics, but hardcore finance, financial accounting, microeconomics, strategy and managing organisational behaviour. We picked up our binders last week and this week and I've been trying to figure out which books to buy and which books to just lend from the library and copy the relevant pages. Instinctively I'm more drawn towards the Strategy and Managing Organisational Behaviour, but I reckon that means I need the books for the other courses more ;-)

This Wednesday AT Kearney will give a presentation on their Global Prize competition, I'm not sure if I want to enter since I've got quite a few extracurricular things lined up this trimester, and looking at the courseload I can't really take on more responsibility (plus I need to keep on finding time to blog ;-)

One of the extracurricular activities that I'm getting involved in this year and one that I'm really looking forward to, is Young Enterprise. It offers secondary school students the opportunity to start up and run a small business, and they're looking for mentors/consultants to help these students.
