Alright this will be quick. The basketball team lost due to too many turnovers down the stretch. They'll be ranked anyway, I think. Sadly, today John Spencer died. It's sad when actors die in part because it just is and in part because their characters die too. So long, Leo McGarry. You will be missed. John Spencer, I didn't really know you that well but we'll miss you too.
I'm back at blogging because I just submitted the MKT final. The submittal process itself reminded me of Webb/Rowen days of "submit one (1) accordian-folded 11" x 17" clean copy to mailbox 'Rowen' by 23:59 of Friday, November 9th, 1998." Anyway, the simulation was alright, but I guess I'm not sure how much we learned about marketing by doing it. Mostly it was just a case where you could putz around with numbers without having to program them all into excel first. On second thought, I guess there is some value to that. Professor Nordhielm is going to have her market research classes start to fill in all of the mini-cases that have been done in the core class over the past two years so that they will all be available in this simulation form - that'll be some fun. Remind NOT to take that class in Winter A.
