Hey guys! Things are really starting to heat up in these final few weeks. Focus is beginning to shift from fun and adventure to preparing for finals and projects. Yuck! This is a rather boring post, but I am bored and people (*cough* Mother *cough cough*) complain when there isn't a post.
I was in the first group to present in International Finance. We were talking about the European Debt Crisis. Exciting, right? My friend Martin was also in the group, which was nice. All of the other students were Korean. They weren't too keen on presenting, so Martin did almost all of the presentation. At the end, me and the Korean students did a role-play of other countries. I was Angela Merkel of Germany. The class got a kick out of me playing a woman. The Korean students were very nervous about speaking English. They actually did great! They honestly don't give themselves enough credit! The professor didn't stop smiling throughout our presentation, so I think we did very well.
Tomorrow (Monday), I have to do a presentation about how Netflix should enter the Asian market. My group outdid themselves again! The PowerPoint is done, the paper is done, and I'm ready to present our project! After that, I am done with presentations!
Meanwhile, Colby is doing a presentation about a Korean dash cam producer and their expansion into the global market. He's meeting with his partner right now and practicing the presentation. On Tuesday he is presenting in International Finance about the Chinese Yuan and its place as a key currency. He's nervous, but I'm sure everything will be fine! What he has told me seems pretty interesting...at least as interesting as Finance can be!
This week's itinerary is really not that bad all things considered. With all these group projects going on, International Finance is pretty much done for me. We are having a guest speaker in Trade Theory and then some students are presenting, so that class is pretty much done as well.
We will probably keep up the pace in Investments. In fact, we will probably have a quiz this thursday (last class before finals.) Our International Business class is just presentations, but the professor wants to have one class during finals week. At least I don't have a final on that day!
So, yeah, exciting stuff!
We did go to HomePlus (pretty much a Walmart) and bought a few things, mostly gifts for some people. I also bought a few snacks for the plane ride while we were there. It's going to take some willpower not to eat all the snacks in these last days.
Still not completely sure what we will do for the last weekend. We might try to find something special to do. I will need to do a bit more exploring and find some other gifts...
If you made it this far into this boring post, I salute you! There might be something a bit more exciting next week though!
