This week was a great week for us! We accomplished a lot and it seems that we are finally ready to send out the RFP! It has been exciting splitting into groups and seeing what everyone did on their own, and then trying to regroup as a class and come to a consensus on most of the topics.

Unfortunately, that rarely happened. However, I think that is the beauty of our class. All the disagreements have created an amazingly interactive class that exceeded what I expected from this course. I am learning so much about everyone in the class. Certain people have tendencies that became extremely evident during the discussions we held this week.

There were several topics we discussed and debated over in class that I really found interesting. First, I was really amazed at how passionate people were regarding the simple formatting of the proposal. Some things that I thought were so trivial seemed to be such a big deal to others. I don’t think this is a problem, but rather a good thing, because it brought up certain things that were being overlooked. I also thought it was interesting how it was such a struggle to consolidate the two groups into one. I loved the enthusiasm people brought to the discussions and how defensive each group was when their team’s mission statement was under attack.

This past week was extremely productive and I can’t wait to get back and start reading the applications. I can already predict it will be difficult to decide as a class which application to seriously consider, but I am also excited for that process.

Keep it up!
