INSEAD

It has been 3 weeks since I started my MBA program at INSEAD. I have met more exciting, fun, interesting, chill people than I thought I would. Predominately due to that factor I am very happy here. Also perfect weather, pool, food courts with abundance of Asian dishes for $2 contribute somewhat.

First period consists of 5 core subjects (mostly analytical), out of which I exempted from Financial Accounting during the first week. So my workload is less. Also [so far] the course material is repetition from my undergrad, so my workload is even less. I am also not applying to any finance internships, so my "career" activities have not started, so my workload is even less. The result - I am not stressed the way I am supposed to be stressed if you listen to "the average" experience at INSEAD in P1.

But I am busy with the stuff I enjoy - talking to people, booking trips, reading, attending extra curricular activities.

Last weekend I spent on the "Singaporean beach", an Indonesian island of Bintan, a 45-minute ferry ride away. This weekend we are going to the island of Borneo, to Kuching, Malaysia. The experience hopefully will be more authentic and cheap. Tons of other ideas are floating around for the upcoming weekends and short break between our "periods".
