Day 258 - 8th July 2011

First day of markstrat today and also back to the schedule of classes at 930 in the morning. Markstrat is a simulated environment where 5 teams compete against each other. Each team has 2 brands and there are 5 sets of decisions that need to be made for each period which represents a year in the markstrat world. Today was reserved as a day for trials so that we could get acquainted with the software and the interface. Had to make decisions for 2 years until evening. Got done by around 6 in the evening. Went to Bopal in the evening to pay off the mobile bill. Got back to campus and had to start preparing for the special interest group presentations for PGP-1. The presentations went on till about 430 in the morning and yes I have to wake up in time for markstrat tomorrow!
