Oxford happenings

For the first time in quite a long time, I feel under quite a bit of pressure from particularly the academic work. There is a lot of economics and finance which is all new stuff; you cant really use your A-level/first year knowledge anymore, and it takes a lot of reading to understand. None the less, Im happy with my modules, and am sure they will be of good use when looking for a job etc...

I also obligate myself to fit in other things as part of my university life to get the most out of it, such as Oxford Union debates/business school forums, socializing and of course rowing and so I guess it is out of choice essentially that I am under a bit of pressure. Almost missed a practice assignment deadline today which was not good!

I saw Brad Rosser speak the other day-he founded some virgin brands and also the property company inside track, which I asked him about as had heard many press reports about it and I myself almost got hooked in!! Attended a development forum at oxford some weeks ago which really got me interested inwhat I intend to do with my life.

Am setting up a SIFE organization at Brookes which should be good, but watch the space for further info!

Long days and shortish nights are the order of the day here... Rowing training now, then back for shower and dinner then Bridge club tonight!
