My Sunday, er Saturday...
I just held my first Modern Biology review session at 1 PM. Exam #1 is tomorrow. As far as I can tell, there is nothing different about these Qatari students compared to the Pittsburgh students. They all want to know what exactly is going to be on the exam (exactly). We had a good review session. I would say about half of the students in the class showed up. After the review session, I put the exam to “bed”, made photocopies and scooted home. I made it back to the apartment around 4 PM.
The competition got started just as I started my review session.
The Envirostyle booth described a company that makes environmentally friendly potpourri. Hmmmm, I thought it all was?!
The “Creative Hands of Qatar” was design fashion with tops and bracelets.
See the blue foot prints !
The last one I looked at was a guided tour company called “Pour Toi” (For You) that had the most complex set up and, it seemed, most complete business plan and marketing strategy. I guess there is a lot of competition for guided tours here in Qatar out of Doha.
Anyway...one of the perks of going to the booths is that they all gave out candy.
So like the Pittsburgh campus of CMU, this campus hosts a variety of outreach activities and sponsors other meetings and events. “Create. Inform. Connect.” Junior Achievement seems like a natural since one of CMU-Q’s degree programs in in business.
Enough “Working on the Weekend”. Time to go hit the pool for a cool dip, it’s only 93°F.

Working on (not for) the Weekend!
