Summer Reading
My summer reading list included:
- a stack of pre B-school magazines and articles that I’ve been collecting
- one mystery novel
- my Macroeconomics textbook (which I planned to read for fun this time Dr. Ward)
- a book on business ethics
- china: a new history
- and a few hardcover art books with loads of pictures
Sadly, summer is nearly over for the Loyola EMBA class of 2010 and I only managed to get through about 1/4 of my summer reading list. It was much easier to get out of the school routine than I expected! I’ve spent the past two months catching up on visits with friends and family — if only to warn them that I’m soon to be immersed in my final year of graduate school.
Reading About China
This week I’m officially back to the school books. The last year of my program starts off with our international field study in Beijing and Shanghai and I’ve been pouring over books about history, business and travel. A few weeks in China will be a great easing-in to the semester. We’ll be visiting more than 15 businesses and organizations and we get to spend a few days taking in the sights.
I’ll be back on my regular blogging routine once school start again with our departure for China of August 27. Stay tuned for pictures and stories of our adventures!
Please post any suggestions, tips, ideas or hints about my upcoming trip to China!
