What a crazy life...

First of all, I would like to apologise that I have not published any posts for such a long time. I have been simply extremely busy and tired…. uni life (you will experience that soon).

Leaving Poland, Krakow Airport

I am glad to write that I managed to pass all of the exams and finished my first semester at university with good grades AABB (Business Ethics, The Financial Environment, Marketing, Management Concepts). I am delighted with my results, but I am gonna do better in May. Yet, I am a bit worried because it looks like I have quite challenging subjects in my 2nd semester: International Management (a lot of reading), Economics (graphs, theories), Management Accounting (analysing) and People Management (quite easy).

Economics

New year has already started… new plans… new ideas… and New Year’s resolutions.
I’mma improve my German which is a bit rusty. I have already borrowed a few books from a library but I simply do not have time to open them:(
I joined the gym at university and I’ m gonna exercise 3 times a week before my lectures/tutorials. I paid only 50 pound for a whole semester which is really cheap:)

Our gym (RGU)

Now, the most important thing… My competition.
I won the second prize in the RGU round of the SIE New Ideas Competition and I took part in the national round of the Scottish Institute for Enterprise New Ideas Competition. Therefore, I attended SIE’s Start-up Day on Saturday, 9th February in Dundee. I joined the other finalists from all Scottish higher education institutions for a day designed to help us think about further developing our ideas and teach us more about entrepreneurship.

What’s more, I attended the Annual Entrepreneurship lecture during which Roy MacGregor OBE, executive chairman of oil and gas contracting and service company Global Energy Group shared his entrepreneurial story with an audience of almost 300 students at Aberdeen Business School.

Absoft Seminar held at RGU

Since I won the second prize in the entrepreneurship competition, I was invited to participate in a round-table discussion with Roy MacGregor, his son (chief executive of Global Energy Group, Iain MacGregor) and Ian Mechie (managing director of Absoft).
Mr MacGregor, who is himself a business degree graduate from RGU, said: “I am honoured to have been asked to share my story and hope I can in some way help to inspire a new generation of RGU students to strive for success by developing their skills and working hard.”

After the lecture I was photographed and interviewed by BIG PR company as a case study for a press article which will be published in one of the business magazines (let you know soon).
Oh, I have almost forgotten to mentioned that I worked as a Students Services Ambassador at University (Student Help Point). I assisted International Advisers and supported the new students who started their semester at RGU in January (ERASMUS and postgraduate students). It was a great experience, as I met hundreds of students and got to know a lot of people working at RGU.

Sunny day in Aberdeen. Finally!

I would like to promise to keep you updated but I might get even busier soon (work, uni, gym and…. some other things).

Just want to wish you luck and thumbs up:)
