Dealing with business cases is one of the things we are confronted with in English Business Communication 1. It’s a great class and I truly enjoy it. Here yet another lovely case…
Your company wants to start exporting its products to the US. You have little experience of the paperwork and procedures involved in exporting, so you decide to hire…
a carrier
a freight-train driver
your sister’s boyfriend’s wife
a forwarding agent
I’d tick my sister’s boyfriend’s wife since I am absolutely convinced of her expertise concerning the coping with export procedures, wouldn’t you?
Having Started my studies of International Business Administration on Wednesday was next big thing coming up for me in the last week. Therefore, I needed to move. Get out of the countryside and dive into the urban flair of Vienna was the ultimate devise for me the last couple of days. Luckily I was spared with the whole odysee-like search for the perfect apartment and got to move in a family apartment in the 7th district of Vienna: Neubau. Sweet home, Neubau…
Been there, done that. Here is what Dan Barham adds to his picture: We spent $200 on cardboard boxes for our impending move. Of course, I did what any self-respecting person would do and built an awesome fort.
Plus, don’t miss the new announcement for philsblogging.com at the end of the post. My newly acquired marketing skills make you read the whole post. Jump, do it.
When it comes to the point in life where you have to leave the nest-warmth radiating life as a high school student (with teachers kicking your butt in case you don’t get the necessary things done) - well I actually was enjoying the non-contradictable “life” (nice way of putting it) as a community servant, remember? - and jump into the big pond of university, it’s all about organization, people, organization.
Me being wissensdurstig
I most certainly have to get some things done (and it’s really alienating to know that nobody is going to kick my ass if I didn’t). Bearing that in mind, I know that nobody will kick my l-a-z-y ass (spelled the wrong word, didn’t I?). Picking a schedule, getting the apartment ready and some paper work.
However, I’m ready. I can totally take it. I have “wissensdurst” (thirst for knowledge). On the left, you can see my eager-on-studying grimace that emblazons my WU student ID. After taking 2 pictures I figured that nobody has to see my student ID. Which makes me wonder why I post this on the world wide web.
You did the figuring out: I signed up for classes at the WU going for a Bachelor of Science (BSc) in International Business Administration (followed by a Master of Science - MSc; no MBA offered at a university in Austria except for the ones where you pay a boogie-load of tuition).
So that’s it for today. Keep in mind: Organization.
