Whew!

What a long week it has been! So this past week has been mid-terms and it has been an awful lot of stress. Not just school related for me, unfortunately, but even so it has been a rough week for us LFM's. Projects, exams, etc, all due before SIP (Sloan Innovation Period) week. SIP is a mini-break for Sloanies. It is a week during which they take mini-classes to help relieve stress and break up the semester a little bit. Engineering classes still go on (bad news for LFM's) but it is pretty manageable for me as currently I am only taking one engineering class. So hopefully I will get a lot of those things accomplished that I have been meaning to, as well as spend some quality time with Alicia - who has been wonderful this semester with the amazingly hectic schedule we lead. We are planning on watching the Head of the Charles on Saturday and then possibly take a drive up to Mt. Monadnock for a little hiking. Should be a great trip and the weather is perfect for some hiking. Just to get away for a little while will be great.

Some good news is that my G-lab team finally has our company selected. The company is KORRES and here is a little bit about them from their site www.korres.com:

From homeopathic remedies to natural products

Korres Natural Products is a Greek company with roots in Athens’ first ever Homeopathic Pharmacy. Set up in 1996 with the aim to utilise its extensive scientific resources for the creation of beneficial and safe products, the company today offers a complete skin and hair care range, make-up, sun care products and herbal preparations. A team of experienced scientists worked closely to make this happen, sharing common goals and values.

We aren't sure of the full project scope yet, but I will keep you updated as I learn more.

That's all I have for you now. Have a great weekend and hope to see some of you at the LFM Infosession on Oct. 29th on the MIT campus. If you are going to be in the area and wish to join us, please go to http://lfm.mit.edu/?fileName=events/lfminfoevening_2007.html to learn more and to register for the event. The earlier the better as we still need to let the caterers know how much food to prepare!
See you there!

Sounds like fun. San Salvador is a long way from Ypsilanti.

Yeah it is a long ways from Ypsi. Did you know that I used to work at the old Ford/Visteon plant on I-94 in Ypsi? Glad to see/hear from you!
