rest of first week...

The remainder of first week was full of the first lectures of all of my classes for this term. The list for Hilary is: Finance II, International Business & Global Governance, Marketing, Operations Management, Macroeconomics, and Financial Management. I also went to a talk and dinner on Tuesday with the co-founder of lastminute.com, which is a huge travel site in the UK (was recently purchased by Travelocity). It was interesting to hear about how two friends started the site in their apartment one day, and went on to be one of the largest sites, acquiring about 20 other companies over the span of only a few years.
