Looking back at the last 1.5 weeks I really got the impression that they were really packed. First of all, I had to write an exam for my previous course called Marketing, Technology and Innovation. Although I didn't have the impression that it was too difficult and unfair it took my 2.5 hours to finish, which is kind of uncommen as I'm used to have uni exams which last between 1 and 1.5 hrs. You never know how detailed they expect you to answer, but I have a good feeling though. After the exam and partying in the evening I enjoyed doing anything for once. I went to buy some clothes and for a coffee in town and just made it home before it started to rain cats and dogs. In the late afternoon and evening I just stayed home and relaxed.
Friday morning I then left for the weekend to Amsterdam where I met my parents. We visited several places like the Van Gogh Museum, the Rijksmuseum or the Foam Photographymuseum, walked around or just enjoyed the company over a coffee/dinner. Except the weather the whole weekend was amazing. Another reason for that was, that I met friends again, which I got to know in Stuttgart and haven't seen for almost 2 years. On saturday evening we partying like crazy with the result that I arrived back at the hotel at 6 am and only slept for four hours. And it's kind a strange when the hotel staff is yawning and you still feel energized when you come back :) On sunday evening I joined my friends again, but only for a beer. Later on I travelled back home to Rotterdam where I arrived at 2 am.
Monday and tuesday I spent mostly at home relaxing, except dinner and and some beers as we celebrated Nisha's birthday. On wednesday university continued and my new course (Event and Tourism Marketing) started. They decided to do a shock therapy with us - we had to research and write a group paper in 2.5 days and present it already before it was finished (and it contributes 20% to our final grade). As they only set the "framework" and the research object, we came up with our own research question which was "Can the Olympics 2008 be successful in branding China and Beijing?". I think we did a pretty good job in the short time we had and our professor said at the presentation this morning that it seems to be good but still gave us some tips for further improvements. We handed in our final paper 3 hours ago and now we'll see. Aaaand there we go, off to another weekend!
