Facing unexpected delays... in posting :S

After many weeks... I'm here!
My intention at the very beginning when came to Rotterdam was to post something about my 2012 experience at least once per week... but I failed. Nonetheless, today I decided to post because I received during day an invitation from MBA Marketing office to post in RSM MBA blog. Nice news!!!
Beyond effort to succeed in different courses and activities, it has been a nice team since I got here. No regret in my decision. Now, I want to share the text I wrote for MBA blog.
Bye!
"Hola! Hello! Hallo! Namaste!
I want to start my first RSM post saying "Thank you!" to MBA Marketing office for this opportunity to write about this life-changing experience and spread school's brand. On the other hand, I would like to tell you a little bit more about "the other" MBA, the one beyond classrooms and which occurs in S building at EUR, in Sports Center. Why? Let me explain.
Have you ever heard about MBAT?MBAT is a championship organized by HEC Paris, in its campus, every year in May. European business schools have the chance to compete in many disciplines such as tennis, footbal, voleyball, etc. I registered to compete in football, tennis and... Salsa!!! (I'm latinamerican if you didn't notice), and just recently started to get ready for competition in France, at least with football which is worldwide known so people are most enthusiastic to practice and no matter what happens, every week we meet to play 1 or 2 hours.
Now, I can tell you that the reasons I chose this topic to talk about. First, I want prospective students also know about parallel activities people can develop while studying here, and second, in my opinion, balancing studies with sports is a good way to enjoy the experience even more. Playing football in my case, has allowed to know more my classmates in depth, spending great time out of classrooms and strengthening friendship. There is one additional reason: my fellows are already posting about statistics, long nights, accounting, open market, conferences, snow, Stadhuis, residence permits, etc. Whatever I might say, it's already done. You only have to refer to excellent posts previously released.
Finally, if you want to join RSM because of intellectual challenge, you are in right place, but if you also want to do more than academic activities, definitely, you are in the right path.Along the next posts, I will tell more about preparation process and the competition itself. Hope to bring home any trophy. We'll do our best, for sure!
Hugo"
