…and what a storm it was. They sure pack a lot of work into the last few weeks of the program. The Company project was a great success, although we don’t have any marks yet. Seems like forever ago we did that, but it was really only two weeks.

Then we had our individual case exam, and right after that, we picked up the final group integrated case exercise – a “live” case detailing current issues at a company. We’re given 5 days (2 of them Saturday and Sunday) to come up with a 7-page report (with 10 pages of exhibits) and a 20-minute presentation. Needless to say there were a few nearly sleepless nights, but we managed to pull it all together in the end and I was quite impressed with the end result.

The best part of it was driving with Roy to Harry’s around 3:30am after we finished getting the report printed and bound at Kinko’s. The report was due 8:30am the next day, and Harry dropped it off while the rest of us got a bit of sleep so we would be coherent for the 2:00pm presentation.

Today was the final presentation (for the “finalist” groups, of which we were not) and we are now done until January 3rd. I had planned to keep the next two weeks open for relaxation and visiting, but somehow I have already managed to get things scheduled for every single day next week. Oh well.. Perhaps the week after will be a bit more restful
