It's the end of P3... (almost) the end of the MBA!!

Tomorrow I will have my last exam of P3 and the last exam of the MBA. For me it feels a lot like the end of the MBA as I am only 4 credits away to graduate... however still more 4 months to go. Also a big change is that now I'm going to Fontainebleau for (at least) 2 months.
My bag is almost ready, it's heavy and full...

INSEAD is a very diverse school, having the campus in Singapore is, in my opinion, key for the school to keep being a top business school in the world.
I have to admit I will miss Singapore and Asia, as the time here was very good and enjoyable, but now I feel it's time to go home to be close to family, girlfriend and friends. I plan to spend much of my time with them, so for that I will plan my 2 or 3 courses of P4 accordingly.

I was in the past one day in Fontainebleau, visiting the village and the campus. It was ok, but now I hope I will have time to discover the beauty of it and also enjoy France a little more than I did the times I was there before.

In 24 hours, I will be in a plane out of Singapore... for a field trip in Israel, then a stop in Istanbul and then Paris & Fontainebleau... and then Portugal and Lux in the following weekends! Looking forward for it!

50% of INSEAD MBA is done!!!

I am already in the second half of the MBA. Time flies like crazy at INSEAD and P3 is almost finishing... as wells as the MBA, because after it it's only P4 and P5... For both last periods I plan to do only the minimum credits, so in terms of courses I actually have done more than half of the MBA.
Maybe it's time for a reflection on the MBA value and I still believe that it was the right moment to do it in my career and I also think that it has great value in terms of professional and personal development.

WoW!!!! P3 already started

The 3rd period of the MBA just started and soon I will have already half of the MBA done.
Life at INSEAD is pretty busy and with that we don't even feel the time passing.
Several 11J from Fonty are now in Singapore and it has been so nice to meet them. Also the new promotion of 11D is starting now and so there is a lot of new people in the school.

Due to the Chinese New Year, P3 (only for INSEAD Singapore campus) will be a very short period and so far every course has been very demanding in terms of assignments. A new characteristic of P3 is that we no longer have one team, so I left my great team 8 and now I have almost 1 team per course, what means something like 6 different teams.

All in all, it's keep being great and I just hope I take the best of it, because soon the MBA will be over.
