Oxford Day 9

Today was too much. Some people get really into the whole competition thing. I’m all about winning, but I don't really care enough to put the project before any of my friendships. However, some of the groups would flip out if I approached them or had a chance of seeing their Powerpoints or gleaning any information. Of course I couldn’t really care less about any of the other teams. Friendliness was definitely out of the question today though, I guess.

My team spent the entire day working on our presentation, from about 10 until 6 when we presented to the professors. It was a really snazzy presentation with some great solutions for the company. Unfortunately, we were not one of the two teams chosen to present to the company tomorrow. Really though, that’s fine with me. The two selected teams ended up spending the rest of the night working on their projects. Meanwhile, I went out with four fabulous ladies to a couple of awesome locales in Oxford to hang out. It was a simply delightful evening.

We ended up not doing the devo tonight. Initially I was pretty pumped about this development, but after psyching myself up all day, it actually ended up being a letdown. Ah well, I’m pretty sure I’m going to end up doing it before long. Lytle’s got me in his sights now.

Does anybody have any good insights for what may be awesome to do in Italy? I believe I’m going to be going there in a couple weeks, and I don’t really know what I should do besides see Rome and the coast. Any ideas? Same goes for Ireland. I’ll be going there next weekend. I suppose we’ll go to Dublin, but I’m not sure where else is good.
