As a part of the 6 member team, I learned a ton about myself and my fellow students, inevitable when you spend 4 days together in a confined room. Lesson #1: designate one MBA to decide which minivan to drive rather than having everyone discuss the benefits and features of the Toyota compared to the Dodge. This took a whole 5 minutes and I knew we were bound for 4 days of excitement and opinions.
Second, Febreze Air Effects is the new Windex (watch the movie My Big Fat Greek Wedding if you don’t know what I’m talking about). When we arrived on Wake Forest campus Thursday afternoon we were shown to our case room. Amidst the various items the institution provided was a canister of Febreze. My first thoughts: “Um, why is there a canister of Febreze?” At around 12:30 a.m. ET time I learned the importance of this misty delightful fragrance that could permeate a room infested with an insufferable boyish odor. So when looking for an odor remedy, can I make a plug for you? Purchase Febreze Air Effects. It could save your smelling sense if that’s important to you.
Thirdly, “Arrested Development” can save your life. On the flight out to North Carolina I was introduced to this marvelous witty and insane comedy. I’d heard several people talk about the show, but never saw the life sustaining traits that could be invaluable when you’re competing for $50,000 in a case competition with little sleep. During the precious few hours we had scheduled to sleep during the case competition, our favorite Austrailian, David Liddicoat, cuddled up in his blankie watching multiple episodes of this divinely inspired slapstick show. To say the least, I’m converted and have borrowed all three seasons to begin my indoctrination of all things “Arrested Development”.
We also gained new friends from the University of Notre Dame, Wake Forest University, London Business School, IESE Business School (Barcelona, Spain), Dartmouth College (Tuck) and University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill. Thank you to our fellow MBA students, friends and family who provided the 936 votes that helped us win “Fan Favorite.” Now, we may not have placed in the top 3 to win a portion of the thousands of dollars IBM was shedding, but it’s not always about the money. Or is it?
