Editors talk
Striving towards...
HELLO, SSE RIGEAN
some things, you are better off burning your fingers
In early. The misery of having to go through a reexam,
often concurrently with tight deadlines in other subjects,
probably belongs to this rather grim bundle. It’ll teach you
a lesson, they say. Even Morten once admitted that re-doing
Macro (Y1) together with Financial Economics (Y2) is ‘a
decision you’ll regret for the rest of your life’. Perhaps so.
However, please don’t be too jumpy if you left yesterday’s
Math exam with a feeling that it can’t get any worse. First,
it can (if you’re adventurous and want to learn new swearing
phrases, bring up ‘FA’ to Y2s). But second, learning to
be serious and responsible about a deadline, an exam or
a task is a course we’ve all enrolled in, and it sure doesn’t
come easy.
That’s why it’s called ‘Striving Towards Excellence’, ‘cause,
well, you’re always striving...
Enough said, since it’s actually a time for joy and fun, as
the first Insider this semester is finally out! It brings with
it some major improvements, perhaps most noticeably in
design. Stay with us, and come and contribute if you’re in
a mood to meet some amazing personalities, such as Annie
Machon or Dzintars Dreibergs, or our own Hakan Lyckeborg.
See you around, and enjoy!
