HEC Montreal




School is going really well. We're basically here all the time but instead of stuffy boring money hungry nerds, that you would expect at an internationally ranked business school, there are tons of hip, intelligent, attractive and wholly interesting people.

I heard that there is another American but so far I've only met Nigerians, Germans, Italians, Chileans, French, English, Scottish, Canadian, Mexican, Armenian, Indian, Taiwanese, Chinese, Japanese, Greek, Lithuanian, and Swiss students.

Every Thursday there is an open bar for graduate students in MBA and Masters of Business Communication in our lounge and I've heard rumors of weekly games of dodge ball.

The building looks like an art museum and is spacious, bright, super clean and comfortable to be in.

I'll probably change my mind at some late hour this long, cold and dark winter when I feel imprisoned in the library studying, but for now I love it here I feel very very lucky and proud every day when I get to school.

Owen arrives on the 31st and until then I'm using free minutes to look for an apartment or a house. I still have no student loan but I'm working on it.

Best news ever: using my reusable mug a double espresso in the cafeteria (coop) is only $1.25. Assuming I have coffee for my three meals a day I can survive on a weekly grocery budget of only $26.25! I was a little worried about scurvy until I remembered that I could ask for a squeeze of fresh lime in my gin and tonic on Thursdays? C'est Bon!!
