For my China's Macroeconomic Impact class I am requiered to partisipate in ECNU's all new Global Business Project. I believe in the end it will be a buisness case competition type thing, but along the way we will get aditional lectures, workshops, and field trips with both internation students and students from ECNU's College of Economics and Management. Today was the opening cermoney where we, the international students, were driven about 45 minutes away to ECNU's larger and newer Minhang campus (note that both the Zhongbai and Minghang campuses are in Shanghai) for the Projects formal Opening Cermoney. We were all given matching shirts and got to meet the Chinese students we would be working with for the rest of the semester. While the Global Business Project was a suprise requierment for the internationals, it is a big deal for the Chinese students who had to go through a several step application process to get in. While I am not a business major I am actually kind of looking foward to the project: firstly I am a dork who likes aditional lectures (and making the most of my tuition yuan at work), second I am happy to get more interaction with the domestic ECNU students (while I have Chinese friends from and at ECNU I can thank Juniata for them, not East China Normal), thirdly the Global Business Project might look good on a resume, and finally I am an egotistical creture of vanity and love fancy sheets of paper signed by people I think are important which is something I will get at the conclusion of the Project.

Nothing can look better on a resume than a global business project centered in China. How come your handwriting is much neater and more legible in Chinese characters than in English letters?

I hope so. I actually physically write write more in Chinese than in English. I just have fewer assignments that I need to hand write in English than in Chinese.

You are certainly making every yuan count! Impressed that you are doing assignments in Chinese since every word is a discrete character.
