1. After almost a week of sunny weather, the rain is back and she’s not alone, bringing with her sadness and despair. I’m really looking forward to those Christmas holidays.

  2. D3 (Double-Degree Dilemma)

    As I’ve already written before, I had the choice between two double-degrees. I’ve just met with the person in charge of Rouen Business School admission and let’s say that it didn’t go that well because of that 7/20 I have in Marketing.

                         
    My only choice now is Audencia Nantes which is better (6th in France) than the first one but far from Rouen, where all my friends are. Nothing is decided yet because they have to accept me first but if they do, I’ll need to find a new apartment, meet new people and build a new life far from the one I have here.
  3. Monday November 9th, 2009

    I wish I could delete this day of the week and have a second Sunday instead.

    Mondays are always boring because I need go to school. I’m in a “Data Mining” class thaught by a Romanian PhD coming from Finland (Globalisation?). I don’t understand anything of what he’s saying and I’m pretending to pay attention.

    My parents are coming to visit school and meet with the director to ask him about the different double-degree possibilities and which one will be the best for me.

  4. A long ride to school

    As I’m in the subway, I’ll be writing these few words. I’m doing this for personal reference to keep track of my life and gather my thoughts into one place.

    I’m not feeling too good these last days and it’s getting tougher each day. People think they’re more intelligent than other by lying or hiding stuff but the truth always comes up and they end up looking like idiots.

    I’m on my way to do other people’s work because I can’t get no sleep if things aren’t done the way they should be. Maybe it’s my OCD, but I think it’s a good thing to have a professional conscience and care about stuff that isn’t yours.

    On the other hand, this week is almost over and I can’t wait to go visit my girlfriend on Friday. My parents are coming from Morocco on Sunday, so that’s another good thing. It’s been more than two years since my father came to Rouen. He hasn’t seen my new apartment nor the new stuff that has been built since, like this huge mall called “Docks 76”.

    I’ll be writing more often because I take the “metro” each day to go to school and instead of just staring at people, writing makes me feel better.

    Yours truly,

    Amine

  6. Holidays

    Holidays are finally here and I get to breathe from school and relax a bit with my friends. I also need to choose what to do next semester. I’m still hesitating between two things:

    • a double diploma in management or finance in one of the finest schools in France.
    • a final internship (6 months) before starting to work for real.

    Being an engineer isn’t what it used to be in the past. We’re living in an expanding world where double-skilled persons are more appreciated in big companies. I’ll try to ask for some advice and let you know what my final decision is.

  7. Sick and Tired

    After a week of “holidays” due to the flu, I got tired of staying at home and got out with some friends only to see that it didn’t do any good for me. I’m still sick (worse than before) and I’ve got no excuse to miss school this time. I’ll be going tomorrow and I don’t care if I’m going to contaminate people in my class. That’s what they get for not letting me stay home any longer.
