The econ exam (Ceteris paribus - Studying for Managerial Economics) was very straightforward. Similar to previous years exams, once you know the stuff, it was quite easy. Definetely nothing to write home about. Econ exam, DONE.

On the contrary, Hyde Park autumn colors are something to write home about. Unlike most of my classmates, I do not live five minutes away from the school. It takes me 20min walk (or 8min bike ride) to reach campus. But I live 5 min walk from Hyde Park.

And Hyde Park is beautiful. It has become my destination for walks. I love walking for at least 30min: It helps me gain perspective, refresh my mind, go to the outdoors, do photosynthesis (a must during London winter time).

Since last week, autumn (fall) colors are in full plenitude. On a sunny day, a London park is the place to get away from the school, take a deep breath and reenergize for the rest of the week.

I expect that, in a couple of weeks, there will be not a single leaf left. And the winter light will come through the branches directly. Like in the MBA: In a couple of weeks, all the assignments, classes and exams of the Autumn Quarter will be gone, and all the learning will shine through a clearer schedule. Which leads me to the next question:

What will that learning be? How good of a learning? Which quality?
As with everything in life, what you get out of the MBA depends on what you put in. The more effort you put in, the more you learn out of the experience.

I choose now to return to study frameworks and work on projects, because at the end of the quarter I truly want tons of learning to shine through my eyes.
