Last Class

Today was the last day of the DC Design and Operations (I've been calling it Warehousing) class and I presented my group's project to the class and two managers from the Aflac Distribution Center.  I became less nervous as the presentation went on, but I still managed to forget some important things I was supposed to say.  Our presentation was good; we used simple slides with little or no words on them.  We followed the recommendations from Edward Tufte's books about giving presentations that are interesting to your audience.  I think it worked well and from now on, I'll be using the techniques he suggests.  Our group will be celebrating Monday night (grades will be posted on Monday sometime) regardless of the grade we get, but it will be much more fun it we get an "A". 

Bittersweet feelings this evening since this could be my last college class.  My thirty Master's Degree hours count toward my PhD so the rest of my hours for that final degree could be only research hours.  I LOVE school and learning new things, but I really do have a problem with timed tests.  I'm looking forward to learning new things by researching, modeling, simulating and writing.
