This week was rather uneventful. I had the in-class scuba diving training on Monday night, which culminated in an easy written exam. I scored a decent 96%, so I now understand scuba diving on paper. On Tuesday and Wednesday, we jumped in a 2-metre deep pool with full scuba gear to practice different skills, such as regulator recovery, buddy-breathing and CESA emergency procedures. All four of us went through the motions brilliantly. (Marcus and Ryan from INSEAD, as well as Ryan’s wife, Suzie, and Bryan, a Sing doctor who joined our group.
On Thursday, I participated in a brain-storming session about potential careers with 10 other students. We copied our career test results on an overhead and projected them on the screen. Participants would then throw out all kinds of career ideas based on the information provided. Unfortunately, nothing very interesting came up for my profile, so perhaps I am a desperate cause? Thursday evening, we had the first student rep meeting, and I figured out that my role as External Relations rep is to facilitate exchanges between students and external parties, such as finding sponsors or guest speakers.
Friday afternoon, we had training on successful business presentations, delivered by a Bain partner in Singapore. Finally, the week was over and I was ready to take off for a sun-filled weekend in Dayang Island, Malaysia.
