here i m sitting in front of my comp.. through i have work to do.. i just can't find the energy to do it... feel like taking a nap although its already 1022pm... *yawn*
oh no! when have i started to become soooo lazy?
life in harvard is really good as a summer school student... 3 meals are catered at this pretty harry potter lookalike dining hall... the main courses haven't repeated once... everyday i m just try to stuff myself with lots of food cuz its a buffet... the salad bar is great too... there are like 20+ sauces... but it doesn't change so can get sick of it easily...
i m taking this course called "strategic managment in a dynamic environment".... basically we focus on discussing 1 case study everyday with the prof leading and facilitating the discussion and the prof will end it off with some textbook theories... there are no exams required but i have to write 3 papers.. do a presentation... class participation counts too... at first i m really not used to the enthusiasm of ppl fighting to speak up... can be quite intimidating... esp when most of the ppl in the class have extensive working experience.... i began to realise my own weakness when it comes to speaking up and articulating own ideas... tt is something tt has been lacking in my last 15 years of classroom education... and i realise tt can really affect me adversely....
public speaking really an art which i have yet to master..... i really hope to go through more training and development in this area...
enough of academic.... lets talk about fun.... i have really had the time of my life in america past few weeks... (and severely draining down my savings *oops*)... went for a bus tour to washington, philadelphia, new york... went on a luxury cruise with florrine.... watched july 4th fireworks.... went shopping all over in boston.... studying eating partying and having fun... maybe cuz its summer... ppl here are generally fun loving... i have also been playing LOTS of piano (cuz there is a new and nice yamaha piano just belong my dining hall)... the setting in harvard makes it a really nice place to study and live... the libraries are big nice and quiet... amenities are nearby... ard the town there are lots of restaurants, pubs, cafes, supermarket, book store... etc quite self sufficient.... :) overall i really like staying in boston... (esp when the weather is fantastic now!)
really enjoy the peace, the freedom, the food, the company, the weather..... wld be a good time to rest recuperate and reflect abt life too :)
sometimes it still feels very surreal tt i m harvard... the place i really dream of studying in... :) though just for a short while... i m definitely very satisfied :)
