I really like it here in Belgium, I haven´t yet had this "must go back home" -feeling that usually comes in the first months (I´ve heard).
Although, today I couldn´t help missing my MITIM colleagues.. Main reason for missing them is the fact that it is my birthday today.. Last year in St.Petersburg my colleagues arranged me the surprise of a lifetime - a ride with pink limousine with good friends and plenty of Russian sparkling wine. After the ride the night ended with dinner & dancing. That was spectacular evening that I will never forget!!
Love & miss you guys, hope you´re doing good where ever you are right now!

Welcome! I write about my studies (Master of International Technology and Innovation Management) and life in Finland, Russia and Belgium. (Since I´m a Finn and my mother also reads this blog, I sometimes write also in Finnish)

Finally L.A.
I mean Learning Agreement, not Los Angeles.. ;)
I had to change quite many of my original courses due to overlapping in my schedule. The overlapping was because I had accidentally taken my courses from the same "module" (which was not explained anywhere in the course catalog - and I wasn´t the only one with the same problem), but fortunately I found good, more interesting courses to take.
The biggest problem of waiting for the L.A to arrive is the fact that I´m not able to access the course material in HUBwise (kind of like Noppa in LUT). I got some materials from some other students in the classes, but not all...
Finally, yesterday I received the signed final Learning Agreement from LUT (it´s good to be prepared for delays and just take it easy meanwhile) and I took it to the coordinator today. And, dadaaa, the same day, I got the courses to my schedule! Great!
So now my schedule looks like this:
Monday
10.30-12.30 Business Intelligence Methods
13.30-15.30 Business process and operations
15.30-17.30 ICT Strategy & Architecture
Tuesday
17.30-19.30 Environmental economics (I´m loving this course!)
Wednesday
-
Thursday
10.30 - 12.30 ICT Strategy & Architecture
17.30-19.30 French (not for credits, for fun)
Friday
8.30-10.30 Global information management
15.30-17.30 Russian language & culture II
The time I´m not spending at school, I´m working 20 hours/week for CSR Forest project for LUT (http://www.lut.fi/en/business/research/researchprojects/Pages/CSR-Forest.aspx). That´s also related to my Master´s Thesis....
So, looks pretty nice, yeah?
