Ryan's in Zurich this week for training. The days are really long when he's not here. And when he is here, he doesn't get home until 8 or 8:30 (and this is not busy season). So much for a laid back European life full of holidays and siestas. Although my part of life here is pretty laid back... most days I get home before 5:00 (and lately even earlier) and there are loads of school holidays. But it's no fun if you're by yourself! Well, it's still a little fun.
I have exams this week, so you'd think studying would occupy my time. Wrong. I still manage to piddle, dawdle, and mindlessly search the internet. I am studying, though. There's just only so much you can take. Exams are tricky this semester - split right down the middle. On one side, it's all math, a little finance, statistics and economics. One of my teachers is from MIT, and I've realized that those guys really are in a different league. Everybody in the class is FREAKING out. I'm not, surprisingly. It's not because I think I'm going to do well... we'll all be lucky if we pass. It's just that it's fascinating how smart someone can be, and how truly dumb we all are in comparison. I find that class an interesting study in the human mind. I'm going to need to find the actual subject matter interesting later on this week. The other half of my exams are business theory, so you can do well in those classes, you just need to memorize 15 chapters worth of material. Yay for summer break!
Until then, I'll just wait for Ryan to get back. I've gotten good at it.
