Getting close to writing a sum-up of the first period/module/3 months at KTH..

• KTH EMIS 1.1 Processes for IT Production - Practical Assignment
• KTH EMIS 1.1 Enterprise Computing and ERP Systems - Group Project
• KTH EMIS 1.1 Enterprise Computing and ERP Systems - Research Paper Evaluation
• KTH EMIS 1.1 Enterprise Computing and ERP Systems - Exam

I’m having a group-project assignment at KTH (Enterprise and ERP Systems, with Paul Johannesson), and even though we handled the communication quite ok, using Gmail’s conversation-grouping feature is not good enough for me.

It’s hard to keep track of file changes, of ideas, etc… etc… etc..

Yesterday I’ve been trying to find the right collaboration tool, but the perfect one was in the Backcamp - Campfire suite, which is not free. Thus, not right for students I’d say.

So, yeah.. after clearing my head, and after moving all my previous posts to a new series called Induction at KTH Kista, I’m now trying to get a bit more perspective on the academic life.

This module (half of one regular semester) I’m doing has two courses for my programme - Processed for IT production + Enterprise computing and ERP systems. First one with Mira, a Finnish lady who traveled the world and seems very much open-minded and down to Earth, and the second one with Paul, a person that goes well under the “the IT researcher” category.

Both courses seem quite interesting so far, and they made me feel comfortable, which was really nice in order to balance things.

In October 2007, after 1 year of TUC and 3 years of RAU (plus almost 4 months of WSHE), there I was thinking there is only one more year to go at RAU, and then I’ll live my Swedish dream. But oh boy, were there going to be some dizzy months to come! Nifty months :), but still..

So along with the final Bachelor year, I headed towards Swedish admissions for Masters. After just a couple of months, it felt a bit overwhelming from a logistic point of view. And when time comes to organize, I take it dead serious

I didn’t get a place at the dorms that scholastic year, and getting a private flat would have been just too much money for too little. So I thought of plying between Galați (my hometown) and Bucharest every week or so, in order to go to courses and exams. Ended up doing 25000+ km by train in less than 10 months..

It was more than ok, despite what people think.
