That was a fun couple of weeks

Posted on February 26th, 2008 by Glenn Finlay in Uncategorized

Well… now that the Mining Games have come and gone, I finally have some time! And I’m finally getting back to schoolwork. Or, at least, I would be if it weren’t just so darned hard to get back into the swing of things after being involved in such a large event. Large compared to anything I’ve been involved in previously. I’m sure 200+ delegates and $225,000 of sponsorship is pretty small potatoes in this industry, but to me that’s just amazing - we put on a hell of a show, and I just feel really grateful that I was allowed to be a part of it.

The things which I have learned through being a part of organizing these Games are things which I would never have learned in class, and it honestly makes it very hard to concentrate on schoolwork, knowing that I have just had such a valuable experience, and that everything I am doing in class is basically an brief introduction designed solely to prevent me from being completely shocked when I enter the workforce.

Unfortunately I do not have much choice. Time to catch up on everything that I’ve been letting slide for the past month!

It would appear that I do not, in fact, have as much time as I had first thought.
