Got through the first day. Woohoo. Reasonably interesting although I hate sitting down for so long. I discovered this morning I didn't have my hairbrush, missed my buddies for the walk over (fortunately found others) and carefully took the wrong material with me (after sorting out the necessary from the crap beforehand). But our first speaker was the campus registrar, and she had rushed in after forgetting she'd agreed to talking to us and not realizing it was today - clearly I AM management material (snicker).
The other funny thing was the video on management a polling company had put together. The narrator was like some smooth character from a soap opera and his voice kept shifting from American to English (which made him sound a bit fake to be honest). Funniest bit was when he said that we needed to show we care for staff, and caring meant caring for their success, so he said "even firing someone can be caring". I kid you not! :-). The buildings are nicer here, crazy sign and beautiful stain glass window.
