Vaniah's MBA Diaries

On Saturday 1st October 2005, I started an MBA course at the Said Business School, University of Oxford. I'm still wondering how it all happened that I ended up here but I guess that we must all play the hand that we are dealt. So that I don't forget, this blog is intended to document my business school adventure.

Name:
Location: London, United Kingdom

I was born on the sunny tropical isle of Jamaica, and as soon as I could organise it, I moved to colder climes. Crazy huh? After finishing a stint in the city know for its dreaming Spires and knocking around Sweden for a while, I've finaly decided what my next adventure should be. My lovely (Swedish) fiance and I shall be travelling around the world after our wedding in August. Going full circle that is...

Having said that...

Here's a recap of week 4 (the middle week)

Building a Business
They are offering a free course on Building a Business on Tuesday nights so I decided to go along to see what it was all about. Interesting stuff. The speaker was one of the founder of a company called Business Boffins whose aim is to help new businesses get off the ground. Very interesting, I don't think I will be able to go to the entire course but I should be able to drop in on some of the more interesting lectures - next week is on Intellectual Property.

CE Course continues
Week three of this course is the heavy stuff as we discussed sin. Had some very good discussions. I mean, do you really think that sin is a serious problem?

Oxford University Centre for Business Taxation launch
On Friday night I put on my suit and looked in the mirror and realised that it was the first time that I had worn a suit in months! After nearly 8 years of wearing one almost every day, I now felt weird wearing one. Anyway, the launch was a big media launch with representatives from the Hundred Group, HM Customs and Excise and eminent scholars. All very important.

Japanese meal
Afterwards, I went out with some friends for a genuine Japanese meal.


Ack - the library is closing, must go now. Will finish later...
