The contact week

So my studies have now started. When I get back home I will be creating a study folder (a real one and one on my computer as well). I plan to print articles and stuff so that it is easier for me to read about it. I think that I will also need to write down some goals and schedule for the studies.

Next contact days will be in August. Which is a good news as this means that I don't have to travel that often to Tornio. With this I mean that I already have two times of the year when I come here, so it is good that I don't have to travel here all the time. Also it is good that we do not have summer school. This means that I will have some time to relax and not study 2,5 years in a row.

To capture the first week: We learned how to use the software that we are going to use to do the online studies. We will have contact session once a week online and we need to be prepared. In one course we will be doing presentations and in others we will be participating in discussions. We have small tasks and one big one in three courses. With this I mean that one big one is joined with the three courses. It means that we need to know how to join all the knowledge we have received so far.

We have talked about the thesis and how important it is to know what you are going to write about as early on as possible. I do not have any idea what I am going to write about. Luckily one of the teachers told me that he has an idea that I could write about. We shall see what it is. We had to give a presentation of who we are and where we are going. Also about our company and where it is headed. This is where the teacher had got the idea for my thesis.

All I can say is that I am so exited about this whole thing!
