Day 19

Monday, February 19, 2008

I flew back to Los Angeles Monday afternoon, but as our plane was getting pushed out of the gate by the "tug" the ground crew jack-knifed it and could have damaged the landing gear. We taxied back to the gate, inspections ensued, but everything turned out OK. Unfortunately we were two hours late by the time we took off so I arrived at LAX about 11pm. One of my fellow students picked me up and by 11:30 I was back "home" working on accounting homework. Since I didn't take anything with me on my trip (except for a couple books to read) I have some catching up to do this week. I was able to knock out the accounting work by 12:30 am and hit the hay. I decided to sleep in until 5:30 tomorrow!

Classes this morning included exam review on Management and Organizational Behavior with Professor Hill followed by accounting with Professor Davila which included a quiz. I then met with two of my groups on campus.

I drove the carpool today, so I was able to stop at Home Depot on the way home to pick up a toilet seat to be used as a prop in our team Meyers-Briggs presentation tomorrow. We're encouraged to use a lot of creativity in our presentations and do things that will get our audience's attention. I don't think that will be a problem.

After a quick dinner I've spent about five hours working on FIMSIM, our Nielsen Case Study (in which my team is taking the part of Kraft trying to convince a Retailer to give us an endcap for Starbucks Coffee at Christmas), and our Accounting Controls presentation proposal. A little more exam review and I hope to be sleeping by midnight. As I said, I'm doing a little catching up from the weekend, but it's well worth it for the time I was able to spend with my family.
