Workshop and presentation

What a nice day today has been! In the morning we had a workshop in Project Management, which was very good I think. When we came into the room there was a lot of straws, scissors, and tape on the tables. We each sat with our groups by a table and were told to building the Eiffel Tower. Everyone started working on it immediately, and it was quite stressful at the end when our teacher said that only 5 minutes remained. The most natural reaction to the stress was "Oh fuck it, just tape it on there so we get it done!". We were told later that the lesson to be learned from the exercise was to de-brief the client when you get a project (to ask the right questions in order to get the wanted result). Apparently not one of us did the towers as the teacher wanted it (because we didn't de-brief her). 

After that, we had the presentations in Design Thinking that we prepared yesterday. We had so much fun while making the presentation last night. I came home around 20.00 I think, so we spend a lot of time on it. We decided to make a video with the instrumental version of "Black and Yellow" by Wiz Khalifa. It was a big success, and the teacher liked it! The funniest thing was when we started the presentation and one of my friends in the group was going to present us - and presented herself with the wrong name. Everybody started laughing and it really took the edge off the seriousity of presenting, so we weren't as nervous after that. 

After school I impulsively decided to go with a friend to Rotterdam to shop at Primark. The store was a bit disappointing in size after having seen the one on Oxford Street, London, but I found some things anyway! Now I'm going to unpack my shopping findings and relax the rest of the evening!

My group and our teacher. I guess we got a passing grade for that one!
