This week, i.e. 22nd - 27th September, was pretty demanding than the ones before as it marked the commencement of the first academic phase of my MBA. The whole cohort has been distributed in three sections and each section into many working groups of 4-5 participants each. Aside from me, an Indian, my working group includes an American woman, a Portuguese man, a Frenchman and a Chinese woman.
Here is my current mind map. Many of the activities mentioned have already started and the rest are commencing soon. For me, some activities are more interesting than the others. However, I must say that, all of them can be equally engaging to the interested mind.

[/caption]This week my section was introduced to 5 different courses titled Human Resources Management (F. Railliet), Financial Markets (Christophe Pérignon), Financial Accounting (Hervé Stolowy), Marketing (Wolfgang Ulaga) &
Organizational Behavior (Daniel Skarlicki, Maryvonne Lorenzen & Kevin Yong).
I am also attending the French class twice a week. Our instructor, Stephanie Moglia, with her fun-filled teaching style makes the class an absolute breeze. We learn french alphabets, pronunciation and build our vocabulary. The exciting part is that this class, from its very inception, is instructed in French and resorting to English in the class is "heavily" penalized (in a lighter sense of the word :-) ).
Finally, I also decided to actively participate in the HEC Net Impact and HEC Innovation & Technology clubs. I already have become a registered member of NetImpact.org which is the parent body of our local HEC Net Impact chapter.
I am also working on a new club concept and will post more about it as soon as something materializes.
Next week highlights include commencement of the remaining courses, Daniel Porot's Seminar on Career Design and Job Hunting and Eid-al-Fitr marking end of the month of Ramadan.
Signing off for now.
