Every Minute Counts

The countdown begins - I have only one week left in P5. It's hard to believe that, in only seven days, my remaining assignments will all be handed in and I'll be a free woman (at least until the following Monday). While everyone else is taking final exams during the last week in April, I'll be running around the city, taking care of all the things I've put off during the semester.

Hopefully, I will also get a chance to follow up on some employment leads. The good news is that The Independent has reported that 2012 is looking to be a great year for MBA grads. There is an increase in recruitment efforts for MBA students this year. See the article here.

Today, in my Visionary and Entrepreneurial Thinking class, we had another inspirational guest speaker. Also a blogger, Eric Chouinard is the CEO of iWeb, an international web hosting company. Eric was even featured in the Globe and Mail's Top 40 Under 40 list in 2009. You can read the Globe and Mail article here.

Montreal and Canada have also been featured in the news lately. Montreal was recognized in the Travel section of the New York Times for its newly hip Old Montreal neighborhood. See the slideshow at this page. And the bizarre story of the day is that Canada will be releasing a glow-in-the-dark quarter. At $29.95, they will cost a bit more than 25 cents.
