Midterm Exams

I have finished my midterm exams now and I can enjoy my little holiday. I am going to go to the Marble Mountains http://www.skimarble.com/ with some of the other exchange students. I need to mention that there is going to be a Mexican who is going to learn to snowboard in two days! Is that possible? I will let you know after the weekend. So we are leaving on the Friday morning and we will be back on the Sunday evening/night. There is a possibility to skiing or snowboarding on Saturday and Sunday. On Saturday evening there is also a big party where we all are going. It starts with a snowboarding competition and after that the “after ski” will take place. The midterm break will last until next week Thursday.

It seems that lot of the students here will spend their midterm holiday by skiing. It remains me about the “winter holiday” we have in Finland during this time. It is one week off from studies and most of the people go to enjoy the snow. It is not unusual that people rent a "cottage" next to the hills (there is no mountains in Finland) and spend the week by skiing, snowboarding, cross-country skiing etc.

I could also mention something about the exams I had. I did operations management test on Monday and that went quite well. Half of the test was multiple choices and the other half was normal problem solving exercises. On the paper there was a question on the front page asking who is sitting on your right and on your left sites. Good way to limit cheating and team working! My other exam was financial management one. That was a really challenging exam. Most of the students said the same. The structure was again the same that half multiple choices and then problem solving questions. Hopefully I did well.

So only one class left, then group meeting, shopping, kickboxing, laundry and packing and I am ready to start an amazing weekend. But I still don’t have ski trousers... That’s why shopping tomorrow. No, I didn’t leave it for a last minute...
