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.

" let us c "

exam time , assignment deadline and project work i almost feel like im working for one of the corporates , so much fun and quite taxing , economics test and global context text just got over with them , and such a bad performance feels terrible i wish i do much better in the coming exams never got a " c " before .......but i guess its worth an experience as it has given me the kick to do much better in the coming months and the rest of my tests . " c " grade is where my blog title has come from this week let us c ........
the last two week i could not write as of the bad shoulder and had no access to the computer and was really going to a low time ,,,,, this results took me by storm .
but i thank othman , Teresa , Tabitha and Juan to support me and motivated me ...........love u guys
i love the Thursday class as we all do our journals and come and discuss our assessment scores and discuss our strengths and weaknesses ...and then relate our personalities with the text book concepts like the one we had last week taking about communication and solving problems .......i came out to be advising along with 5 others from our class where as 23 guys were Deflecting in their communication style strange but true .................thats real learning u disjoint to your belief and come close to reality and facts .
i promise myself to get better and regular with writing blogs and hopefully perform better in the forth coming exams .......
