Shad, the day, and the debate
Today started with learning team, per usual except that we had our regular meeting room stolen from us. That was a drag. I found myself far more prepared for the cases in LT than I felt when I went to bed 5 hours earlier.
Classes went well. I finally got in another comment in finance. It started out okay but then I wobbled on the professor’s follow up. Can’t sweat the small stuff. I’m learning to be less self critical in the moment of particiaption, because I find obsessing over comments distracts from the next 20 minutes of learning. Better to evaluate after class.
This afternoon we had the first part of the infamous “shad” exercise, where we simulate a manufacturing plant on the floor of the gym. Our team did well. Fortunately I love my learning team and the team we were paired with has been fun to work with. This is all part of the Technology and Operations Management (TOM) course, which I’ll get into in detail later.
We went to debrief the exercise in the grille over beers (yay for having a chill team) and I’m now taking a 20 minute time out in the Spangler living room.
Tonight I’m going to see one of my LT teammates play guitar at a fundraiser for Argentina. This week we learned he is a famous recording artist in South America. Cool! After that sec-c is watching the debate in the grille and then going to chill at a bar called Bus Stop. Should be good times and fortunately there is only the second half of Shad to do tomorrow, so done with work for tonight. Good feeling!
