Back in Stockholm

The sun is shining and I am feeling a lot of emotions about the future.. the uncertainty is overwhelming, not only for me but for all my classmates. I think that some of them are sitting in school and doing their last piece of work. Mazel tov to Trond, Christian, Thomas B and Karthik wo presented for their company during last friday.

A pocket full of mixed emotions

Since I have one more week of studies left. Congratulations to Erlend, Kalle, Anders, Waldemar and Thomas L.O who turned in their final MBA-report today. The word "envy" cannot even start to describe how I feel.

Anyway.. I also have to say that I am feeling some separation anxiety of leaving the class.. It feels very weird to soon not be defined as a MBA-student anymore. I never thought that these feelings would be so strong though.

Working at Tavli's

Tavli's is a small bar/café located very close to the school. Since the school was closed today, Im sitting here and working together with Filipe.. going through some reports and trying to incorporating the data into my DCF model. Hopefully, i will only need three pieces of information to get done - going to look into that tomorrow.

Hope all the readers are having a great weekend.

News from the mark

Hello readers.. I guess there are some out there. I realize that I have not posted any messages on my blog for a very long time, so I think I have to do so. We are now definitely in the end of the program - feels like something that I have been thinking about for a long time, but now we are definitely there. Me - together with the group - are working on our final project/thesis which is slowly coming along. I also got this article about Ivy-league MBA's from David - who sent it to me. Quite interesting to read how the economic crisis has hit the US schools.

Well, what am I going to do today then? Well.. finish off my model, and then im going to work on something else I guess.. I have to send a couple of emails as well.

Back from Stockholm

I am now back in Oslo after spending the last couple of days in Stockholm doing interviews for a school project. It was very interesting. Now Im sitting in my small room in Slemdal and writing on negotiation project. We are going to hand it in tomorrow afternoon - I think.

Listening to some Chaka Khan gets me in the mood (listen here). I also managed to see the final at Roland Garros today - between Federer and Söderling. It was absolutely amazing for two reasons. (1) I never actually thought that Söderling had a chance, Federer is perhaps the best tennis player in the history of the sport, (2) the way the match went on, and how good Federer were - brilliant, stunning - a true champion. Well, now on to the hand-in.

Update from Christmas past

Well, he he.. im no Charles Dickens but i like to write meaningless shit on a blog.. I guess that qualifies me to become some kind of media focal point.. well, no. I came home after some beers with Christian, Ranajay and Rafa today. I had a very very productive day working with a finance assignment. Tomorrow, Ill be finishing it off, preparing for the trip and the interviews with our customers the following week.. but first, I have to see the game in the french open between Söderling and Davydenko.. what a match it will be. Saw that Federer was down with 0-2 sets against Haas, and then managed to fight his way back with 6-0, 6-2 in the two final sets. Huuuuh, he is scary.. But, tomorrow.. i hope for Söderling.
