pull it together.

Today is day one of MAP. We all heard the same message this morning from the Associate Dean. Be prepared. Be flexible. And communicate. We meet our faculty advisor this afternoon and then meet with our sponsor from Cisco tomorrow. I won't be writing about the details of the Cisco project here, but I will keep the loyal wheresnate readership updated on the human interest components of MAP.

While my MAP travels will take me to Chicago and (hopefully) San Jose, I have classmates that are gearing up to head all over the globe: Bangalore, Hong Kong, Moscow, Prague, somewhere in the middle of Ireland. It's a bit intimidating to think that in the next six to seven weeks, we will bring concrete recommendations to the table. Cool.
