Fall term ended

Today I had my last exam and successfully (hopefully) finished my first term at Brock University.
The exams were held in the gym which would be a great idea for Hohenheim as well!
Tomorrow I will travel to California, so cu there!
(Oh, if you are not in California I wish you a nice time anyway)

studying and a german joke

Today I will hand in my second take home exam and write Money and Banking. I guess that is the reason for not writing any posts in my blog. Anyway, I found a nice joke, while learning on the internet, hah hah...
There we go:
"Mama, warum droht der Mann da vorne der Dame auf der Bühne mit dem Stock?"

"Er droht nicht, er dirigiert."

"Und warum schreit sie dann so?"

wish you a merry advent!

Final take-home exam

Well, actually I should do my take home exam. But as I am tired I rather write a blog entry.
I entered now the final weeks for the fall term. I have to finish my first take-home exam until Friday, but will receive the next one on Thursday already. Besides an economics assignment I still have to study for two final exams on the 8th respective the 10th of December.
So I will be busy, while Bekka enjoys Toronto during the strike at her university...

Hope this sounded stressful enough, so you look forward to reading my next holiday/traveling/ or whatsoever entries.

So far just one more Canada traveling hint: do not park within three meters of a water hydrant.

landscape photography

this are my tries to win a photography competition at the brock outdoors club. Unfortunately, I did not win.
Still, at least you might enjoy the pictures.

snow-finally!

finally the first snow reached St. Catharines today!
It was already snowy up north during the weekend (see bekka'a blog for further information)but today the winter arrived at my home.

Well, time is running. Last week (November 11) was Remembrance day. It was interesting as we had a remembrance meeting at school. It started with drums and a song by people from the First Nations, later on readings out of the Torah, Bible and the Koran and of course the national anthem.

Regarding University I am still busy finishing up some presentations, next week I will get the take home exams and the final exams will then be at the beginning of December.

Marilyn I. Walker donates $15 million to Brock University

Wow!
more information on www.brocku.ca during the next few days



I wonder if Hohenheim will ever get such a donation? maybe from you or from me? Nobody knows...
ok I stop dreaming and carry on working!

no pics but everything is alright

I feel good! Unfortunately my laptop is packed with data and in addition I installed Office 2007. So I have no space for pictures etc. anymore. Well, next week I will get an external hard drive so the shortage should be only temporary. It was just meant as an excuse for not providing any pics today…
We spent the weekend in Toronto, which is actually nicer than St. Catharines and experienced Halloween for the first time. It is not the U.S. but the people here are really eager to decorate the houses and wear funny dresses. The perfect day for $-shops to sell all their crap! Anyway, as I am not yet in the retail business I have to concentrate on my studies again. Besides the weekends I am really working hard and therefore enjoying marks that I hardly ever got in good old Hohenheim. Let’s see how the friends from the “Prüfungsamt” convert them in the end.
We handed in the Marketing paper on Monday so now I concentrate on the Strategic Management report that is due Tuesday. Unfortunately there are also some exams waiting for me as we almost reached the end of the term… so let’s hit the books again!
