I love the 2nd year!

Well, the second year at IESE is definitely better than the first one. I actually have a lot of free time now and can plan my days the way I want. The academical schedule is not very tough, I somehow did not chose the most difficult subjects, so I have not been spending a lot of time solving difficult problems or writing reports.

I am spending a lot of time searching for a job or organising social activities, like the marketing club. The time flies very quickly, especially when you are having fun. And fun we have...

Here are some pictures of the past events:

Having a dinner with my "flatmates". If you wonder what I have on my head, it is a "Gracia look" (the neighbourhood we live in), which I received as a present.

Being attacted by "Punk" Marc during the Bar Crawl. I actually was dressed as a pirate, but just took off my eye-patch. This year we had a chance to harass 1st years by making them do stupid competitions and buy us drinks.

During the Helloween party all 3 of us dressed as characters from "Eyes Wide shut"...

Summer is over...

Well, after a half year silence I am back. There are so many things to tell, which some of you know too well, but anyway.

9 weeks as a consultant were very useful, but I am convinced I would like to do something else in my life. I guess, I need more tangible results and more people contact, so now I will be looking for a new career path. I did learn some tricks in Power Point and started to pay attention to small details, which I would never even know existed before.

My highlight of the summer was the trip to Peru. It is an amazing country and it is a pity I only had 10 days to spend there. I will upload the pictures on the net, so you can see them all, if interested, here are just a few. Few things we managed to do in a week: saw the old Inca town of Machu Pichu during sunrise, flew in a small airplane above the Nasca lines, did sand boarding in a desert and saw a sunset there…oh yes, drank a lot of coca tea to recover from the altitude (3500m does make you dizzy, believe me)

Now I am back to Barca, and I am loving it. I moved to a new place in the middle of Gracia, which is one of the coolest districts of Barcelona. It is all small streets, full of small shops, bars and restaurants. It is impossible to stay at home, eventhough my new place is absolutely great. Now I am sharing it with David, an American guy, one of my 5 flatmates from the last year. My other 2 flatmates (Cristina – Spain and Francis – UK) and Ryan, my Peru travel companion are living pretty close to us in a flat with the most amazing view of Barcelona. So now we have exactly the same situation as in “Friends”, when we hang out most time at their place, sitting on a terrace and drinking wines. The weather is still great, so every spare moment we still try to spend on the beach.

I am driving a moto now. Yes, I know, some of you have doubts in my driving capacities, but I have no choice and driving a moto is an absolute necessity here. Getting around by public transportation is not an option, especially with a limited time I have. So, I will keep you updated, but my 2 days of driving so far have been full of adrenaline.

I guess, there is no time to write about the classes this time. We only had 2 days, but I am taking one Spanish class about banking, which is absolutely great. In fact the professor called on me already and I had to say something in Spanish very scary.
