Today I officially start class, even though Innovation and New Product Development (my first class) doesn't start till 13h15 (that's 1:30 pm). We also already have our first class assignment. We were sent an email two days ago giving us a link to an innovation/design article that we had to read before class. I know everyone else hates class assignment before classes even start, but what else are you doing right before classes?
I now have two of my books, Perspectives in Global Business Ethics and Understanding the European Union. Those titles sound hardcore. I'm going to finish these classes are be an expert on the EU, it'll be sweet.
I bought a French book (obviously in French, not just by a French author) and ironically enough, it's by an American author. I wanted to go to Decitre (the French bookstore, very similar to a Barnes and Noble) to find Harry Potter in French, but instread, I found "Mange Prie Aime," any guesses on what book that is? Yep, Eat Pray Love. I'm excited to learn French through a nice, fiction read.
One more update, I finally found a good news source. It's called Democracy Now. It's supposed to be an independent news source online that just streams live news, which is almost exactly what I wanted. Obviously, Fox or CNBC doesn't just stream their news, so you have to get a little creative if don't want to search for every little bit of news online. So, for all those studying in Europe, Democracy Now. org. It's probably left-of-center, but you go with what you got.
A bientôt! Off to class!
