Back from TXR248 residential school

Not as fun as Saint Chartier, but TXR248 was very interesting. A rather odd gender balance (about 90% male, when the chemistry and maths residential schools were about 60% male), but a very good mix of people from the engineers who'd been forced to do a 10-point systems course (who, without exception in our group, started as skeptics and ended as evangelists) to thebusiness people, QA staff and business students, which made for some interesting talks in the bar. I've come back wanting to draw systems diagrams of everything in sight, and will probably start by looking at the accreditation activity of the BAC - I think that will be a better way of showing how Clare and Gina work than trying for several pages of text as I did with the finance department. Now to complete the second assignment, and wait for September, when I'll find out what mark I've got for the first real piece of academic work I've submitted in the last five years.
