Well, let's see. It is mid-September and we are well on our way through the semester. The 2nd year LFM's are in town for mid-stream reviews. This is a time for them to exhibit what they have been working on for the past three months to faculty, staff and other students. We also had a good time with peer reviews last night where the 2nd years gave insights to us 1st years on internships, what to expect for the rest of the year and just getting to know each other. It was a good time.
We're heading out this weekend to Vermont for a two-class camping and rafting trip which should be awesome. Leaving Friday afternoon and coming back on Sunday. Two days of roughing it with a nice paddle down some Class III/IV rapids. The river is supposedly only opened up twice per year so I hope that that means that we're going to have a good time. It will be great to meet everyone though in an informal, fun setting.
As for school, Alicia already despises how much work I have. I did get into the System Dynamics class which has been a lot of work but is a great class. I am also still trying to organize my G-Lab experience. I have my team set, but since the LFM's have to go on the Domestic Plant Trek during the time that the Sloanies will be on the internship with G-Lab, we have to choose our companies last. We get to go on our internships for G-Lab at the end of Spring semester (right before our LFM internships). Should be an interesting transition! I also have a team for Integrating the Lean Enterprise. We are going to be working for Dell in Austin, TX and San Salvador, El Salvador. We still need to work out the details of our project, but it sounds like it is going to be great. I'm excited to get some exposure to an LFM sponsor company before the internship. Should be some great experience too!
More on school, there is an LFM Information Session coming up on October 29th. You all should come out and see us here. Send me an e-mail and I will give you more information, but it should be a great time to meet and greet some MIT faculty and LFM students/alumni. Hope to see you all there!
That's all I have for you now, just been buried with work these past few weeks. So, more later...

Drew: Great to read what you are doing. Incredibly busy - makes Plant life sound easy. Greetings to Alicia.
It's a different kind of plant Fran, they chew us up and spit us out just like those COPs!
Thanks for reading and posting!
