Projects and Mankato

Last Thursday marked the start of our project cycle. We're starting with a relatively small, internal project. This project will be used as a test run for the future project cycles to come. The group that has been working on the Blandin Project will continue working on this project. Another group will be working on a cart for a raft and the other group will be working on a sauna heater. Today, our first Request for Project Proposal is due for the project. All the projects have the due date of February 11. I'm excited to see how everything works out, and to learn what goes right and what can be improved, so that our methods will be improved.

Over the weekend, all of us went down to Mankato. On the way down, we stopped and toured Owatonna Tool Company. Then, we went to Mankato. Saturday night we all went to the Minnesota State University, Mankato vs. UMD men's hockey game. We got tickets to what is called the Blue Line Club. An hour before the game, we met at their civic center. We got free food, door prizes were given away and we got to hear the MSU Mankato coach give a speech. It was a pretty sweet deal. Then we headed across the street to the arena to watch the game; where we were given access to the Presidential Box. We definitely got the royal treatment down there. It was a lot of fun.

Now we're back in Virginia, working hard at IRE once again.
