At Barcelona!
Flew Scandinavian Air from Seattle to Copenhagen and then Spanair to Barcelona. Seeing Copenhagen's airport made me think about Copenhagen Business School. Actually, through this whole flight I have been thinking about my decision of going to IESE. Never was (and still am) so uncertain of a choice that I made.
Maybe it was because I applied to all the schools at different time and got responses back quite far apart from each other. I had to make a decision soon mainly for visa purpose. I even had to withdraw my applications from IE and ESADE since I didn't have time to wait for their admissions reponses. Is it because the application process and, especially, the final decision was rushed that I feel insecure? Or is it because I know that a MBA program is like no returns final sale item that I only got one chance? I do not know.
On my way to Copenhagen, I was, I think, the one of two Asians on board. This shouldn't be too surprising, though. Going to a different country is challenging. Going to a place with a whole different ethnical make-up is challenging. Going to a place not speaking the local language (in Barcelona, it's languages, plural, Catalan and Spanish) is challenging. Man, just going BACK to school is challenging.
I'm about done w/ unpacking. Seems like I am doing a much faster job than before. Going to meet up w/ a few classmates for dinner and for drinks. Btw, it's about 9pm. And it's still considered early for dinner for most Spaniards. Talk about cultural shock.

o don't worry bout not knowing what rss is hehe :)
rss allows you to subscribe to 'blogs' on your personalized 'newspaper'; so if you are subsribed to blogs through rss you can read all the new blog posts on this personalized newspaper
i use my yahoo to read rss from newspapers or personal blogs; one example is engadget.com where u'll find on the left, img icons that says rss2.0; click on that to get the rss url and insert it to your rss reader
not sure if that was clear? :)
