Special Day

an xciting beginning to march , the weather has changed for the good !!

not that cold right now here in Nananimo, hopefully the spring is gonna be as beautiful as everyone claims , they say Nanaimo has the best summers one can think of to go kayaking, trekking , water sports etc etc cant wait any longer .

working on 3 group projects for school and im throughly enjoying it , have got amazing groups to work on , and i love it .

study sessions, group meetings . coffee and books all is so much fun ....

but at the same time i miss being home , my dad has gone to mecca for a month and my mom and my sis are back home alone ........ its not that its the first time they are alone but its a little special this time , my sister will soon be getting engaged in this month as its a great proposal from a guy of our community ( arranged marriage ) so i wish i could be there with my sister and mom . dad will soon be back on the 13th and will make all the arrangements need for it .

i was always so excited for this day but unfortunately i cud not be there side of her on this very important day of her life :(

i wish her all the best for this new beginning

Cont'd ,,,,,,,,,,,

we even went out for a nice greek dining experience which was great and we had a great time together ....... it was the first time when majority tam Saturday showed up we had great fun missed the remaining who could not make it due to some circumstances ..........

to have our profs to be with us during such occasions is so amazing , i loved it have never seen this back home. we had our accounting professor and the marketing professor with us for this Greek experience

the food was nice, i eaten greek foood before Fava is my pick , though we did try something new where i liked the Tzatziki the most.

It worked as an energizer between the busy writing and book reading sessions

March is Here ..........

march is here , its been 2 months that im here in canada and its going good so far , ive got well into the life here. more familiar with stuff and getting use the cold weather here .....

February was good and went fast not because it has less number of days specially because we were all so busy and occupied with our work.

we did take out time for collective group activities like a bunch of us met daily in school to complete our team projects for accounting and effective management .

the next was when we again met as a group thing on a sunday evening .........as othman decided the venue and for most of the guys it was boring , we called it othaman's cat funeral .........lol

it was fun and we spend quality time together ....

the first pic is the same ............from Starbucks

Reading Breaaakkkkk

Social activity II- Venue - Oxy Downtown Nanaimo

We all met again at oxy (i guess nobody knows a better place here !)

it was fun , we all were quite in mood and were looking for a big long break from school but honestly i dont like these big holidays as i dont have much to do alone at home....

this week was different i kinda liked it as i had 1000+3000+3000 words report to be written for 3 different courses and all had a target deadline including 2 internship assignments and a lot to study .

for our accountind project me, othman , tabita and teresa have decided to meet in school and finish the written report together as we all lack accounting expertise ...........thanks to them to accompany me in the break and not leaving me alone .

have done writing 2 of my reports so far so i need to work only on one and have 2 days with me ......wow

had plans like going skiing and swimming to the aquatic centre but all went to the thrash as im busy writing these long reports.

THIS IS IT

MBA is what i wanted to always do , irrespective of no reason i had to do it .

did not even know what an MBA Is suppose to do , whats the job like , does he make money ?

or its just some lame profession .

never ever was so keen in my abba's business a huge garment retail store in the heart of the city ,exciting foot falls still .

with time i learned about th business management when met a distant cousin working in fiat (then) so much pride , a great personality , everyone in the family looked up to him ..... i was highly impressed and knew thats something i would certainly like to do , and make my parents proud.

with time met 100's of 1000's of MBA's but no one was as perfect as i though i would be when i do my MBA . MBA was not just some degree of paper it had become my major objective and aim in life .

started preparing for the top MBA entrance exams , mock tests, test serious , morning tuition i did it all ...........

had n number of calls from premier institutions for interview but something or the other made me stop as i was waiting for some sign to make me realize and say THIS IS IT .

applied to leeds, middlesex , curtain , uclan and many more but was not sure of my fate and nothing materialized

dont even remember exactly how i filled the application for VIU , but once the unconditional offer letter arrived i knew it ...............yes THIS IS IT

Why is it called the Reading Break .....?

A long awaited weekend and a big break attached ............is this is what i really want ?

No , I'm Isolophobic

glad that my team members agreed to meet everyday and shall work on our group projects and utilize this time .

last week has been a good week , where some parts of the world seems to undergo revolution and i am busy making up my own resolutions .

Trying to bring out the best in me, 50 days are quite enough for someone to settle breath in one new place so its high time i leave that excuse of being new here and consider my self accustomed to things.

School is going great and i m happy with my decision of choosing VIU and planned to shift ........its all worth it ....... its for me learning at its best .

i am working on things i have never worked on and doing things whole heartedly.

like writing regular blogs , reading before class which i seldom did , writing 1000, 2000 , 3000 articles which i thought would be painstaking but i am enjoying all that

last week made an ad for the marketing class which was targeted to north american men , gave me an insight to bring the creative best in me .......

this is what i made

and after i saw the best 7 ads from the class i realised it wasn't the best piece of work but as i always say its a part of the learning process and im learning.

Time @ Oxy

OXY-PUB
