Sarkozy

One of the most impressive things about Columbia University is the amount of influential people that they bring in on a regular basis.
Last week I had the pleasure of attending a session with the President of France, Nicolas Sarkozy, where he talked about current world affairs (mainly the recent financial crisis, the United Nations, terrorism and world development).

Egg Hunt

Another interesting tradition to talk about.

During Easter, one of the activities that is usually done for kids is an Egg Hunt.
In this game, adults hide Easter eggs (chocolate, plastic or other varieties) and then kids have to find them to get the prizes (either the chocolate or whatever is inside).

One student at CBS decided to organize one at school.
It was fun. Basically during almost one hour, a big portion of the MBA students were running around school and outside in the patio looking for Eggs. I did my share and got some cool prizes: chocolates, an umbrella and a mug.



Another update. There are only 2.5 weeks left of classes, then exams, and then I will graduate. Things are going really fast and the last part of the MBA has been really busy. I apologize for not posting more frequently, and I owe some pictures from my Spring Break in Colombia and Miamia, I hope I can post those soon.
