Pictures from the U.S

If I have seen further than others, it is for I stood on the shoulders of giants.

So I had my first midterm exam this week. It was... interesting. We get so much time on our hands in Linköping that at times you basically learn something new during the exam, have an epiphany, and apply what you just learnt. Exams here are undoubtedly the exact opposite - not only didn't you have time to reflect over a question, you hardly had the time to think which I really wasn't prepared for. They actually write next to each question how long they expect it to take for you and I realized something was wrong when after half n hour I still wasn't done with the first question à 15 minutes... great start :p But I picked up the pace after that...

I now have two exams left so there's not much choice but to study so the blog won't be that high on updates for the coming week.

Here are however some pictures from last week in the US!

 

Busride from Montréal to Toronto was long, but cozy and extremely comfortable!




Ricky has a sweet pad in Ann Arbor, kinda jealous I must say!


The exteriors of Ross School of Economics was quite a treat.








And so were the interiors...





 Here I am at University of Toledo where Brian studies medicine.


 


My faviroute basement of all time:
Roomy, awesome couch, computer, TV, desk, Guitar hero, toilet gym, bar, and a plastic companion when u get bored... what else do you need?



Here I am with Rita Mausi. Like last time I was here I gave her some introductory courses on how to use a computer. Good fun and this time round we covered how to upload pictures onto Facebook amongst other things...


Me, Raj Mausa and Grandma (not mine, but that's what everybody called her...)!

Then Mausa and I hit a casino in Windsor - obviously no pictures from the actual casino but we were delighted with our room and the view:



What you see is the 2nd hotel on the right and the entire ground floor between the two hotels is the casino. To the left you see the reflection of our room covering the river between Windsor and Detroit.

We were even given a suite - not that we had any time to draw advantage of it.. a major boo hoo.
