I, like others, was really glad to start to dig in to SAP XI. It feels like we're getting in to the meat of the class. I have a project right now at work that will use our SAP XI instance, and I'm excited to understand it better. In the past, when the discussion turned to the integration issues, I'd try to absorb what I could but I'd miss so much. Hopefully now I can understand and actually contribute.
I still need to research and pick my paper idea. I hope to find something that'll fit well with my work project.
Also, I ordered my Dell laptop last night! I'm very excited to have my own PC and not have to run in to the lab each weekend.
