Long time coming
Sorry for the lack of posts lately. This was a very long week. It was a good week but it was very long. My team had a group presentation due today and we had to redo parts of it less than two days before the deadline.
I felt like our presentation went well and that we hit most of the major points. I’ve done individual presentations before, but getting five very different people to agree on the content and structure of a twenty-minute presentation is really really hard. My group has the brains and the heart, but we’re still working on efficiency. I think that most of our time was well-spent, but we still had some very long meetings and lots of “starting over” time.
I feel really lucky to have such dedicated and creative team members. For me, if someone has an idea that I don’t fully endorse, it’s hard for me to say no because I really don’t want to hurt their feelings in any way. I mean, this is my team. We spend at least thirty hours a week together either in class or in meetings. I think we’re doing very well considering that we’ve only been in the program for two weeks but we still have a long way to go. I have the feeling that we’ll be a killer thinking machine right before the end of the quarter….when we have to mix up the teams.
Alright, I have a nagging headache and I’m going to bed. I have lots of homework but at least I can still sleep late tomorrow. I can handle accounting after a solid 10 hours of sleep.
Konbanwa, buenas noches, and good night.
