Only 3 more weeks to go!

In my last post I told you about how time goes fast and I am even more convinced now that I only have 3 weeks left.

Last week I had my mid-summer review with the staffer of my group and HR. It was a very comprehensive review where they highlighted they gave me an extremely candid feedback. The purpose of it is to make us reflect on what we did well and what we can improve on, and to update us on where we stand.

This is the first free weekend that I have and I have to say it feels really good. I am going to meet all my classmates who are in NYC for a drink soon, and after that we will go for dinner. NYC is amazing, it offers everything you need and it’s unbelievable the amount of different nationalities you can find here. I lived in Amsterdam before and I thought it was one of the most international cities in the world, and it is, but I have to say NYC is unique and at the top of my list now.

Chinatown, SOHO, Little Italy, West Village, East Village, Downtown… all the areas are different and you can really feel different vibes all around the city. Everywhere is full of restaurants, bars, pubs… anything you need. Everything is convenient: banks, shops, laundry service, groceries… the concept of ‘anytime, anywhere’ really exists here.

I am very excited about the city and the job so far. It’s been an amazing experience and I will always remember it as one of the most important and formative of my life. I met a lot of new great people and I expanded my horizon further.

I also look forward to seeing all my classmates again and to go back to Ann Arbor to live my second year at school. It’s going to be awesome and I am also very curious to meet all my new classmates MBA1. Go Blue guys!

Talk soon,

Matteo
