RusGirl @ LBS
It’s been a week and a half since I am in London. And what a time it has been! I arrived at Heathrow late on Monday evening and headed off to Russell Square for a weekly stay at the International Hall (I’ll write a comparison of that one to the International Student House in some later post, but shortly, if you can choose, pick International Hall). On Saturday I’ve signed the contract and moved to Angie’s place .
Back in 2008 I was invited by Dan Goldstein , Assistant Professor of Marketing at London Business School to be a guest lecturer for the MBA Internet Marketing course 2008/9 focusing on social media; more specifically the qualitative and quantitative findings of my social network marketing report . What really made me appreciate this opportunity is the latest Financial Times rankings whereby LBS is ranked as the number one business school in the world! Admission is extremely selective and the Internet Marketing group is self selected by Dan personally. Furthermore the Internet Marketing syllabus comprises of what can only be described as an ‘elite’ guest lecturer line-up that I was honoured to be a part of: I actually delivered my guest lecture on the 16th February and have only just found the time to blog about the experience now but I am pleased to say it went very well.

… to keep track of not only all your status updates, but surely also your contact list on each of your social networks I started using Facebook last week and since then my time management has shifted to a more ‘social network oriented’ business. Already some long time ago I registered on Facebook but I somehow didn’t trust this site and moreover, I found it too much deviating from my business focus. June last year a crack came in my wall of opposition since a student colleague of my London Business School executive innovation program “Proteus” forwarded the idea to keep in contact with all class members by means of Facebook. OK let’s do that we said, but after a month everyone could remark there was not really much activity on the forum.
Yes I know that it’s a US remake of a Danish series, but since my Danish extends to “To øl venligst”, this is the best I’ll get. I’m sure that it’s available in dubbed or subtitles but firstly dubbing is ridiculous! Too busy giggling at the comedy accents to watch the programme. Subtitles, unless the programme is action (Subway, La femme Nikita, Run Lola Run, Infernal Affairs) or ‘slow’ (Manon des Sources, Il Postino, etc), the vision is lost as you spend half your time scanning the words. So yes a remake isn’t perfect but it may be the best solution. The acting, locations and best of all the realistic pace has given us probably the year’s best drama.
Stuff I love and hate
As we quickly approach the end of our first year at London Business School, I decided to ask a colleague student to reflect on the MBA experience from a very unique point of view - entrepreneurship. Unlike many other MBA students, Guy runs his own business alongside the demanding studies. He started an online business few months before joining the MBA programme called DocoArt , that enables customers worldwide to upload personal photos and have them converted to handmade oil paintings on canvas (or simply buy a stunning reproduction). 1. LBS is known for its strength in the finance education. Is it also a place for future entrepreneurs?

Posted by Bruce on February 27, 2012 Friends are going to help you often, but when it comes to really important moments in life, the family is the entity to provide you with support. Paying for college expense is usually something that parents take care of, but with the economy in the state that it is today, many parents find it difficult to save enough money. Those students who can’t count on the support of their parents, have to find different sources, and they regard grants as the best options.
Until a week ago we had one of the ultimate design coffee grinders: a 20+ year old white Braun blade grinder. But then its engine went up in smoke and it died. We'll miss the simple shape and the high pitched sound in our kitchen. But it'll stay with us, in the attic.
