Met up with our Gaelic football friends last night. The captain of the women's team was celebrating her birthday, so we all discovered the other Irish pastime: drinking! What a great mix: Italians, Irish, English, Belgians. Good, clean fun, for the most part. The shenanigans were down in Acilia, southwest of Rome by the airport. We missed the last train, but caught a night bus back. Yet another benefit of public transportation!
Today we are taking it easy. I have work to do, since I'm going full-time at ESE this semester. My first week of classes went OK. I'm not crazy about the courses on theory of management, but perhaps I'll learn to love it. Until I do, here's my impression of my notes:
I. Ideas
a. thoughts
b. concepts
i. notions
ii. theories
iii. feelings
II. Words
a. nouns
b. verbs
III. Outlines
a. letters
b. numbers
i. Roman numerals
ii. upper-case I's
iii. lower-case i's
Anyway, the point is: theory with respect to business is all a bunch of gobbledygook. In my humble opinion.
Just finished "Bel Canto." Next stop: opera!

First paragraph reminds me of a joke I learned in Australia: "Yeah, we have some good drinking games here in Australia. Our favorite one? Drinking."
ReplyDeleteNice notes! My students would be proud. At least they're well-organized. Glad you liked Bel Canto, enjoy some opera.
Oh, and I got a new "engagement calendar" (basically an appointment book where I write down what I have to do today, such as "Watch football" on Sunday) that has an Italy theme, great pics of Italy every few pages. See you guys in June.
