After our relaxing weekend in Okanagan, we had four days of accounting this week. I had been a bit relaxed about this topic as I had accounting before in my undergraduates. However, I was deeply impressed of the speed in which the professor went through the content. I didn’t expect that it is possible to teach the whole stuff of four terms undergraduate accounting in only four days. I am even more impressed that many students with limited accounting backgrounds followed the lectures so smooth. I guess we have some very smart people in our class. In summary, it was probably a good introduction into the first month of the program (so called “Core”) which is supposed to be the toughest part of the studies.
But let’s switch to other important things in life: Sailing. I finally managed to go out on the Ocean. I joined the UBC Sailing Club together with Samuel, a new friend of the MBA program. And: It’s awesome to sail here - on the one side the skyline of Vancouver on the other side the sunset above the Strait of Gorgia. Because it’s so nice, I have been out each day since Saturday. However, it’s still challenging, as we are on small dingys which I haven’t sailed before. I used to sail on the bigger yachts and the small dingys react much faster in every maneuver – beware of capsizing.
After sailing we usually enjoy one of these nice and expensive Canadian beers on the patio of the Sailing Club. As a committed MBA Student, Samuel is checking in the meanwhile the latest news of the NYSE – just kidding – he is checking the prices for the new iPhone4.
