Campus monkey in picture

After a week-long email and telephone conversation with the Stockholm School of Economics, they in the end decided to lower the amount of credits we have to take here at IIMA. Instead of 6.25 credits, which happens to be more (!) than the Indian students are required to take, they will now be satisfied with 5, as was the case for SSE students coming here in previous years.

Yesterday also saw no less than two parties and a sighting of Jupiter and its moons. First, there was a surprise party for on of the Italians students on his birthday. On the way I stopped by the IIMA Astronomy Society that had put up their telescope as the sky was unusually clear and the possibility to watch Jupiter unusually good yesterday evening. After the birthday celebration there was a dorm party in my house, where I had the opportunity to try some Goa port, which was surprisingly tasty. Happy days, indeed.
