Almost there...

After finishing today's Operational Management exam there is only one left.
Ops was ok. The case study we had to analyze was gratifyingly short and the operational problem clearly identifiable. Only the questions were a bit strange since they didn't address the problem as a whole but in parts.

In addition to that we had / have to do an Entrepreneurial Project (EP) which is basically writing a business plan for a new company. I will spend some words on this project later since it kept us busy during the whole term.

I quick glance on what's next: after exams are over tomorrow I'm going to finish my part for the EP and bring myself up to date in terms of the Private Equity conference we are organizing. On Friday Klaudia and I will leave for a short vacation in Wales before the Kontny girls will visit us from Wednesday next week. On April 5th I'm going to Dubai for a week on a networking trip organized by some of my classmates. Back on Sat. April 12th school starts on the following Monday again with. Some lectures will already take place in week 0 as well as the PE conference (Wed. April 16th). But in the meanwhile I'm trying to relax a bit.
