This school, being a business school after all, supposedly encourages the entrepreneurial spirit. We think we’ve found a probable money spinner which they will be ambivalent about.

You know how the Chinese like to burn paper houses, cars, hell notes (these days, even paper computers and DVD players and Nike shoes) for the dead to enjoy in the afterlife?

We want to roll out a new product � why not burn examination papers too? Management Accounting and Statistics, if we have it our way, will be the first to go into beta. For the nerds in the afterlife. Or those so frazzled by these subjects (and who can blame them?) they continue to be, uh, haunted by them. After all, we can make these exam papers incredibly lifelike. We will throw in additional notes and textbooks gladly.

Bah. We are studying too hard. (And I think this disturbing “we” business in writing and in speech, is contagious.)

My exam rituals include: striking out each paper off my examination timetable gleefully as they are completed, and dumping the notes and textbooks for the corresponding subject into a big box to be thrown out when all of it is done. This year I skipped the first, not being able to achieve the same cathartic effect by striking off a PDF file; but had the same amount of fun dumping stuff into The Box, with Bonfire thoughts in mind.

3 to go Two.

My Other Business Plan
To build myself a DIY Beach Hut. I suppose web traffic is the least I can do to thank the man who gave us four very wonderful nights in an already beautiful island (and our most picture perfect photo).
