Thoughts on Day 3

Day 3 kinda flew by!

Let me tell you about the breakfast...  It was a warm breakfast, outside of the norm of continental breakfast that we had been having the first two days (which felt like at least a week).  We had sweet potato frittata with roasted baby potatoes.  For carnivores, they also had ham and bacon and a ton of breads for toast and a fruit platter. Having not slept much the night before, I also had 2 coffees... And they were the only two I had all day.  Andrew (in the Cornell-Queen's program) popped by to say hello.  It's his school weekend, too.  (Of course, I don't have any concept of time.  Don't quite realize it is the weekend given the surreal nature of being in school all day.)

We had a morning of Team Building.  This was us working on a couple of cases do deal with conflict.  The cases were based on real-life examples of students in the program.  One was a freeloader, riding the coat tails of the team and not contributing.  (The team let it go on, so they were all at fault.)  The other was this guy who had just never been told of the niceties of being on time for meetings and so on.

After lunch (beef or vegetarian stew with celeriac mashed potatoes and spinach salad), we started some of the more concrete work:  Finance and Accounting.  Nearly everyone in my team was picked to answer a question on the case we worked on.  I think we'll be doing fine with numbers.

Got home early (around 6:30pm) and I was grateful that Alan had delayed dinner so that we could all eat together.  I watched a movie with the kids, got them to bed, made my moves in my ongoing games in Lexulous (version of Scrabble in Facebook), and then worked on setting up a calendar in Word for a bit.  Glanced at my accounting homework and read the case for today's "How to Read a Case" workshop.

Now I am getting ready for my first-ever Pilates class.  It starts in 45mins, so I better get moving!
