<p>A sample process flow for a day is given below&#8230; note for sake of readability it has been shown as a single flow, however it is a vicious cycle.</p>
<p><a href="http://ajaydsouza.com/wp-content/uploads/dailyprocessflow.jpg" onclick="ald_OpenPictureWindow(this.href,'iimagebrowser','','700','489',true,'My Daily Routine'); return false"><img src="http://ajaydsouza.com/wp-content/uploads/_dailyprocessflow.jpg" title="My Daily Routine" alt="My Daily Routine" width="250" height="174" class="thumbnail" /></a></p>
<p>Today was the reFCQ for Six Sigma. We were surprised to find a 45minute theory paper given for just 30minutes. Considering that the rest of the batch gave a semi objective paper, this one was a killer! Tomorrow is the Operations Management reFCQ with the full portion&#8230; God bless me</p>
<p>On better notes, had a good Spanish viva last week as well as a few good tests to which I actually knew the answers too <img src='http://ajaydsouza.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  Now, the corrections will make a decision.</p>
<p>We got a 17/20 in the Brand Management presentation we gave last week and a 50/50 in the Managerial Communication Presentation which were at the top of our batch <img src='http://ajaydsouza.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>However, one thing for sure is that thanks to the bell curve grading system that we follow, we won&#8217;t be ending up with great GPAs this semester.</p>

Every single FCQ that comes our way seems to be a major disaster.</p>
<p>Because of oversmartness or sheer stupidity, a perfectly well going FM paper was set on the path of ruin. Finance students are now in a state of hope and despair!</p>
<p>Operations Management is one subject that is also in an equal state of disarray with a lab exam with two questions nobody knew the answers of or were not able to complete it in time!</p>
<p>We also made a presentation in Brand Management based on a <a href="http://cases.ivey.uwo.ca/Cases/Pages/home.aspx?Mode=showproduct&#038;prod=9A98M006">Starbucks case by Mary Crossan and Arif Kachra</a>. This required us to sleep for less than 3 hours on Saturday morning.<br />
The same repeated itself today as we worked all through the night to get our Marketing Research paper ready for tomorrow.<br />
I don&#8217;t see much sleep tonight as well considering that we have two FCQs tomorrow, Spanish and Technology in Business tomorrow evening, a possible Spanish viva tomorrow morning and a Sales and Distribution assignment submission as well.</p>
<p>I need to sleep!</p>
