The Second Week

Today I went to the library which has recently been completed. All high-tech searching equipment there, with the main attraction called the Barn. The Barn is a warehouse capable of storing 1,5 million books. Though it operate machines which know where the books are located and they will get them for you. I was given a small demonstration of the facility and made some low quality movies.

On Monday I was informed that a phenomenon called a total lunar eclipse would occur. I woke up at around 4:30AM and the moon turned bright red for about half an hour; absolutely beautiful! I wasn't able to take a decent picture however it did look something like this.

This week I've also had my first classes and unfortunately three classes start off at 7:30. I am taking International Management, Managing Cultural Differences, Buyer Behavior and Operations Management. All classes seem to be very interesting and there is little or no overlap with classes done in the Netherlands. At the university the focus is mainly on self-study and assignments, and that's quite a lot of work. Now the real studying has started and I'm actually looking forward to that since it has been quite some ago that I've taken classes.

Thursday was pretty special as well since there was an American Football match in the stadium on-campus. Although the Utah State team eventually lost the atmosphere was really nice and they made it quite a happening with all the cheerleaders, mascots and students rooting for the USU team.
