It´s summer!

Whow, I haven´t been writing here in a long time..

The spring was quite busy and in the end of May my little black minilaptop decided that she has been working too hard and kept really ugly noices so I had to take her to the mainentance..

The reason for being so busy was not only the studies but also looking for the internship, arranging the exchange semester, helping out in the 1.st EU-Russia Innovation Forum, packing and moving out of Lappeenranta back to Helsinki. The part of the studies that kept me busy was the intensive course of International High-Technology Marketing (still 1 report to write for that, due date is in the end of this week) and writing of the proposal for my Master´s thesis. Concerning my thesis topic, I´ll write more in the beginning of autumn when I know for sure if I´ll be working for a certain project...

Yes, I got an internship/summerjob with a logistics company (invoicing department)! Yeei! I started 7.th of June and I have to say that I´m just now getting to be familiar with the job, even though I have earlier experience in these kind of things, like invoicing and bookkeeping. (but not in the field of logistics...!). So far I´ve liked the job a lot, the people are really nice and the athmosphere is international.

Yes, I got to go for an exchange next semester! Yeei! I decided to go to Brussels, Belgium (HUB) for several reasons and day by day I get more confident that my decision was excellent. Now I just need to find a flat...

Well, here´re some news, I´ll add up some photos soon (specially those from the 1st EU-Russia innovation forum, where we had these nice pink scarfs and wearing it I look like a fligh attendant)...

Amazing winter

It´s been busy, not just with school but trying to find internship. I have applied only to those companies/organisations where I really want to work and I could build my future career. But so far, I have had only one interview. Well, I haven´t lost my positive thinking here yet, there´s still time.

At school, we have thousands of group works again. There are Strategic Management of Growth where we need to write approximately 10 pages report about the growth of one company, International Financial Management where we are writing about eBay (minimum 10 pages) and Consulting Project which we are doing for the local icehockey team SaiPa. I´m really excited about that project because it is really interesting and we have totally the best group to do that.

What else... Yes, Quantitative Business Research where we should read research proposals and judge them (and write few pages), Russian studies are still going on and we have exams in the end of this month about International Financial Management and Supply and Innovation Management plus we have the deadlines for most of the reports somewhere there... Then starts the courses of Economics of Innovation and International High Technology Marketing. And I should start to build ideas about the topic of my Master´s Thesis. You can see that it´s a double degree I´m working on.

So, I´m sitting in the student flat in Lappeenranta at the moment, looking outside amazed how beautiful sunny weather there is. And going back to work...
