This week, in between valuing the intrinsic value of company,
comparing the financial statements of two organizations, working on a website
for a accounting project and learning to use analytical problem solving methods
for the corporate world I got a chance to enjoy some cultural time. This week
was loaded was loaded with assignments and all my classmates were busy with
their teams to submit their respective assignments before the deadline.
However, the awesome fall weather at Fayetteville proved to be a distraction. It
makes me want to go for long walks in the trails all along Fayetteville. While hustling to the student’s union to get my poster
printed for a poster competition, I found a mariachi band playing at the open
air theater and stopped to enjoy the music.

| Like I said, as if the weather is not distraction enough we had awesome music to help delay our assignments |
Cultural diversity at the
University of Arkansas makes it a fun place to be. Students from all over the
world proudly display their cultures at events organized all through the
semester. Friends of India celebrated Indian independence today. Along with
great food, they had organized a colorful cultural program. This was a great
way to end the week as just last night I got to catch up on a Bollywood movie
that was playing at a nearby theater. Below are some pictures of some of the
events I have been to, since I joined the Walton MBA.

| Samita, XiaoYan and I just happened to stumble across a event organised by the International Students and Scholars. The photo booth was fun. I have no idea which country the girls are represent but, I know I am wearing a Mexican poncho. |
On Friday night, our classmate Trish hosted a party at her place. It was a great way to relax after a hectic week and we all took
great pleasure at trashing her house. Thanks Trish!

| Isn't it great to have a blog and put embarrassing pictures of your friends. Smile Jessica! Caroline, Emmanuelle and Mark at the party on Friday night. |
