What Does The Three Finger Sign Mean

: ICN Business School (Nancy) [ECRICOME]




Thursday, June 25, 2009, the real fun begins! : D Nancy Branch to pass my oral ECRICOME.

Train to Paris at 9.05 am Eastern time to (hold on! ^ ^), Arrival at Nancy to 10.35. Over there

host a booth waiting for us to exit the train. Then towards the school in special shuttles available to us.

Arrive at school towards the terrace to relax a little: bar at our disposal, parts of tennis or bowls, or simply discussions with students school.

Then lunch at around 12pm.

13h: Delivery of notices and direction the amphitheater for a speech by the director, watching the film eligible for 2009, super nice dailleurs on the theme "It's not rocket science" and the subject: "Nancy and ICN! ^ ^ And ... (Watch video)


Super cool!

Go finish the fun, head for the video recording room to conduct this exercise the most original of these pills: that of the video recording for less than 2 minutes where there is what we want to present to the jury in the introduction to the interview. Far
videos extravagant (sometimes ridiculous) that I saw on the net, here is mine:



Once finished, towards the interview room. It's going pretty well, the jury seems nice (be careful it can be misleading) and all is going well. New originality: the exercise of the card game. The jury has 32 cards representing various objects of life (cell phone, pen, brush, paint ...) and we asked a question which we must respond with these cards. Me was: "We are planning in 2014, what are the objects that you have met to date? Pick 5".

Once finished, head for the locker room to get rid of this costume in which I was very very hot (it was super hot that day).

16 hours: direction city tour in small groups with very nice admisseurs we explain each monuments. Quite honestly, the city is absolutely beautiful!






Then potty at an outdoor cafe the middle of the Place Stanislas (main square of the town) and back to school where they took up a new pot with all eligible admisseurs. Small entertainment (bowling alley, ping pong, games werewolf Question for a champion, UNO, ...). My team and I have won the game for a Question Champion! Mouahahahah! : D We had a nice T-shirt Gifts Nancy!



Then direction in the student housing. Personally I was housed in a large apartment (an apartment) and we slept in the lounge on mattresses ready.

Then to the restaurant where the atmosphere was well heated by ICéens! It was really nice! That's where we are truly aware that for these schools, the group is really a big ECRICOME institution! Then direction

Place Stanislas, Nancy's main square for a light show on the facade of City Hall! Superb! (Video coming soon).

Then, for those who want to sleep, evening bar for those who want to continue having fun.

Finally, sleep 2 hours from morning to wake up at 6:30 and take the train at 7:15! Tough waking but great memories in my head! : D

Why Do I Get Sores After Drinking Soda Pop

Article for the prospective student in a preparatory class (square or future) ... Journal of Oral

I take this little phase of "hollow" to calmly write the article I promised to write, type of article that I liked, two years ago read the blog of another user (now abandoned ...).

you return next year in prep school ...

1. Finish by with BAC : you are admitted to class preparation, Bravo! You had prepared the class of your choice, congratulations! Good thing that made you go to IBC, the largest yet in the end. Courage, the end is near!

2. Relax : You have been probably often say, class preparation is a place where it is difficult to rest without harm (intellectually). Caution still, as you may have read on my blog is not the prison either! In fact it is enough to thrive in its class and it's good preparation, the rest follows.

3. Enjoy the holidays : have fun, go out with friends, read, watch movies, sleep, get canned, ventilate your mind what! I think you would be very detrimental to not enjoy these holidays are your provisions before starting ... sacred year!

4. bone up a bit anyway : some preparation will give you, or you gave a list of books to read for next year. Advance in these readings. As I read on another blog, enjoy less favorable time to do so (hot sun, rainy day, ...). I remember I read a book on Kant (Metaphysics of Morals) on the beach. I read at my own pace, but I read it. The goal is not to kill the task early. You arrive breathless at the top already starting in September otherwise.

5. Still curious : listen to information read the newspapers (not the "closers" eh ^ ^) [Le Monde, Les Echos, INTERNATIONAL MAIL, Challenges, Le Figaro, etc etc, you have a list on the right of my favorite sites for this sort of thing], read in English, English, German or Russian ... Watch Movies in VO it helps enormously. Even now, my technique to improve my language is that I listen to CDs of English texts (which I had spent my teacher) for example. So I have fewer problems to understand the texts. Culture is what you stand out candidate for next year's Lambda! ;)


These are ideas that come to mind at the moment. If you have any questions please, I will incorporate them in the article for the benefit everyone, I may have forgotten things.

For the "advice" for next year, we'll see during the summer, it's pointless to give now, you have 1) something else to think and 2) enjoy your holiday, so forget more later (which I totally understand)! =)

Little White Spots In Kitten's Feces

: ISC Paris



Thursday, June 18, I made my final oral exam for a school of the ECB (yes, I canceled because I'm Montpellier taken to other more prestigious schools it).



survey therefore 5hours in the morning to take the train to 6 hours. Towards Paris! Output to a subway where we expect the shuttle SAI wisely.





Arrive at school, given our notice, with a small gift exchange (a pocket SAI).





We all piled into a lecture hall, which is not really one, where the tables are a bit wobbly and where there is a stifling heat!
Well, we completed our questionnaire, and listen to an official talk briefly about the school (briefly I say).

Then we descend into the basement to see our schedule for passing language tests.



9:15, it left for my oral English: one goes into a lecture hall, we will install the face of CD, we get the track to listen, and go for 20 minutes of preparation. My theme? Relations between Spain and Latin America. (Muy bien!). Then direction
the interrogation room: the examiner is supra pleasant, very very nice, it starts well. I begin my summary, then quickly switch to my comment (the historical role of Spain Latin America, Latin America in the current economic crisis, sometimes destabilizing crisis of some political regimes as the predicted failure of Kirschner in Argentina late in the legislative elections). The examiner asked me to comment on the words of the king of Spain against Hugo Chavez ("Por qué no te callas"), I explained to him and opens the subject on a topical issue in Peru, we talk very fast. She said it was good and I say "buenas tardes senor." Well I think I managed that! : D

Back in the waiting room, where the atmosphere is not high ... So I leave my sheets English vocabulary and revise a little.

10h45: Passage of English. Same procedure as English ... Went into the examination room: a woman just as nice as the previous one. My topic is about Obama and how he has made new in the last presidential campaign (Facebook, Myspace, ...), level civilization everything went well. This language was the hardest, but hey we'll see eh!

Back to the waiting room, waiting Camille and on file at the Ikea cafeteria, to take our lunch (sandwich, apple, yogurt). Talk with some elders of the preparation. This was the time of the day more animated ...


(Bashir, a former really nice, preparedness)

Back to the other vessel to pass the tests of maintenance. So we divided into groups, but one that should take care of us veeeeeery arrives late! it starts! She finally arrived, apologized, made the distribution so not too bad, and the trials begin. By cons, do not bother to tell us that 36,000 times because of us you miss a wonderful evening I do not know where ... it fucks bad for us what ... I liked it too, but hey it's only my opinion.

15h: interview. Transition to a professional psychologist who analyzes EVERYTHING! Our CV, our reactions, our actions and everything. I like the end: "You need someone always very positive right?" Reply: "In general, yes: D". it ends like that.

Back to the waiting room where the atmosphere is crazy! (No I'm kidding!). Preparation with other candidates to the test of General Knowledge: Review of capitals! : D

16.25: Maintenance of General Culture. Aaahhh, maintenance veeeeeery dreaded because it looks like the interview "gun" rather difficult. A jury of 2 people (2 men for me) that asks you questions about the world very diverse geography, history, society, politics, arts, ... I therefore

Brown Spots On Cutlery

Journal of Oral: INSEEC Paris-Bordeaux Sequence



On Saturday, June 13, 2009, I spent my first spoken in a Parisian school: INSEEC.

Living next to Versailles, so I took the 6:26 train to arrive at Montparnasse at 6:56 am. The appointment with the school being set at 8 hours. Well, time to find a friend (my Sonia: D), to walk in subway corridors and finally to walk a little bit: Hop on it!

INSEEC (the Paris campus) is a young school, which made its merry way alone, evolving gradually.
This school has all new premises in Paris from September 2009. So, we come to a huge building quite beautiful indeed! The time to point, retrieve the questionnaires for supporting the maintenance that we had already filled it and hop off for a visit the new premises. Well you immagine that all new premises for a school that has significant resources, gives it something good!





Following this visit, back down to meet a huge buffet with croissants, chocolate croissants, macaroons, cakes, fruit juice, coffee, tea,. .. ! Time to take advantage of this by talking with students, then head for the large lecture hall a speech by the Director of INSEEC Paris and some stakeholders.



Then, starting in the old premises to pass the oral.
Check again a pot and call candidates to spend their first race of the day: the group interview.

Maintenance is a group interview in the original position where it is found in groups of 8 to a jury. Students are divided into two camps (4x4) and it gives us a discussion topic. The purpose of the exercise is to beat d & on the subject, and e us to judge our persuasion skills, listening and leadership. Amid the debate, the Board reverses the roles: those who were for the "to" defend "against" and vice versa. The goal? Defend even know what we do not necessarily think! in fact it's called an open mind.
topic of the day: " for or against limiting the salaries of corporate executives? ".

This group interview finished, return to bottom, with chattering students, then they call me for interview. I take my subjects, I have a choice between" ethics "," Advertising "," politics and entertainment . I suppress the last line, too dicey and controversial. I finally selected the " advertising", more in keeping with my theme of culture-G year ("beauty").
I come before the jury, I relax a little and starts. maintenance started, no questions destabilizing. I have been entitled to a deepening of my presentation in the form of questions, I knew that answer, and questions of personal culture: "What European election results? ", " Do you think the movie home, since you talk so much, could influence the outcome of the greens? "" Which countries where voting is compulsory? If there is not, what sanctions are taken? "," What are women in government? "," What women presidents in the World ? "," What attracts most attention in the news at the moment? "... Anyway I am happy because I left tree answered everything this.

Maintenance finished towards the hall where we were served full meals and trays of desserts: cakes, brownies, milkshakes, ice cream, ... And

wii tennis match against a INSEECien! Equality! grr


(not me the guy in a suit in the photo ^ ^)

The early afternoon, I repeated the oral, by .. English. The subject was a photo of Fidel Castro saying he left the presidency of Cuba, and his brother replaced him. Arrive before the examiner, I do my speech, etc. etc. The interview is going so well that it ends on a really great exchange on Cuba, where each set out his arguments and he told me stuff. At the end I knew it was fine because it said I had a lot of knowledge on the subject and that was good. It was left on it, and I'm gone.

No time to breathe, the English expect. Hop! Subject: small design with a religious question, which asked if religion was for good or evil. Ohlalalaalalalalalalalalaaaaaa: s by cons, I felt very ill, in addition to the examiner was quite unmoved, she did not respond when I tried to smile, or whatever. Bizarre. So there I am not sure how it happened past, but hey, I must admit that I and the English ... ^ ^

That, my stay INSEEC ends well, I get my picture memory, and my gift (a notepad, a keychain, a pen, a box of candy, and a nice Mugg INSEEC).

For me it is time to return to Montparnasse and go on tours, to find my cousin and go ... a long night fiesta! : D
