Week 10 of Trinity

This is it. Classes are over and exam week is winding down. My only exam this term was Managing Complexity and I took it yesterday. I still have three assignments to turn in on Monday, one of which is 99% complete and another that is nearly there. There is only one that I haven't started yet, but there is plenty of time during the next couple of days. After that I am going to be in New York for July and perhaps part of August. I may come back to Oxford to work on my SCP at some point rather than work remotely the entire time, and I also plan to spend some time at home in Pennsylvania. It will be nice to be there for more than 3 or 4 days.

The SCP should be a good experience. The company we are consulting for is called Facilitate Digital and they make tech products for marketing/advertising agencies. Essentially the products enable the agencies to track web traffic and we are going to be working on a plan to roll out a new product. The range of SCPs that the school offered and that people sourced themselves was pretty incredible. There are people working on development projects in various African countries, others working in finance in the city of London, and others for consulting companies in India. It will be neat to hear all of the stories when everyone returns in the fall.

This is all pretty exciting, but for now we're trying to keep our heads down and get through the last couple exams and assignments. The MBA is really an endurance test in the end.
