An Eggs-cellent Way to Plan
I feel that my group had gone through all the planning steps. Before we started anything we had thought about what we were being asked to do. We started to talk about what we had to work with to achieve the main objective of having an egg drop from 10 feet in the air into a bucket without breaking. One person told us of their plan and we all worked from there. Each person added their own ideas to the project and stated what they believe would not have worked and why. After actually talking about how we were going to put it all together, a person from the group was in charge of drawing the actual egg and how it was to turn out at the end. The rest of the team was to choose either to handle the egg, run for the scissors, handle the tape or, to go up and drop the egg. before the time of planning was up all the team members knew what they were in charge of and what they had to do within the 10 minute time limit. When we received all of our materials the work started immediately and everyone knew their job and had the egg done within 8 minutes. We were not a hundred percent confident about how the egg turned out but, we had agreed that it turned out the way we had planned.

A Current Management Problem
A current management problem that I am dealing with now is how to get to work on time from school every Fridays for the rest of this semester. I take FIN 3000 from 8.15 till 11.10 in the morning every Friday. I have to catch an 11.45 train back to Long Island to get to work by one however, the professor likes to hold us back for an extra twenty to twenty-five minutes. I am always running to the subway to try to make it to the LIRR on time however, due to the late release I had missed my train last week and arrived to work half an hour late. I don't want to get up and leave class because I am afraid that he will state something important or something that will be on upcoming exams and, because the class only meets once a week it is very hard to get in contact with the professor on a daily basis. I can't afford to arrive to work either because a work on a client basis and being even fifteen minutes late will mess my work schedule for the rest of the day.

About Me
This is my second year at Baruch College. I am intending to major in accounting and to become a CPA. I am currently taking 2 Accounting classes, English 2150, Finance 3000 and Management 3120. I attend school, full days on Monday and Wednesday and 8 to 11am on Friday. I work on every other day that I do not attend school except for Sunday. I live on Long Island so it takes me about an hour to an hour and a half to get to school.
