First day at school!

Today was the day. My first time in school for many years. (If the exam and interview are not counted...) First the teachers introduced themselves (can't remember single one) and then students introduced themselves (I can remember one... me). Then we were told what kind of a program did we get ourselves into. We also talked about the difference in MBA and Master's of Business Administration.

It was news to me that MBA is not an academic study! Also you cannot say MBA and mean Master's of Business Administration as the MBA is a trademark or something like that. So you should (at least in this country) never pay for your "degree" as you might actually not get one. So my studies are leading me towards a degree. Also new thing to hear is that there is possibility to get a doctoret in this field as well... What to do in five years...

So yes the first part was just about what the studies contain and what is expected of us. The second part was how to use the eTools that we are provided so that we can study online. There was lot to see and remember. I hope I will remember all the things that we talked in class. We will also start some studying this week, allthough we mostly just do things that will help us survive the school. Tomorrow we will head to the library and then we will hear introductions of the classes that we are taking.

Almost forgot. The eTool part was held in computer class. The computer that I chose first had some trouble with the screen ( I was too lazy to figure it out so I just changed the computer). Then there were some others who also had trouble with the computer and they had to find new places to sit. One went to my old place. She then went to fix the screen (the cable was not connected). For the first few seconds things seemed to go well but then when the computer restarted itself after starting itself we knew that the computer was toasted. I was like Oh no! The computer had the same problem as mine did! No, I did not stay there to fix it.
