And the Award goes to...

So this is what it feels like to be graduating.
I have worked so hard all semester, and all four years of college and it is all worth it for moments like this!
Tonight, my practicum group for my supply chain class won 2nd place in the Poole College of Management Leadership and Innovation Showcase!
I was ecstatic! I was honestly was not expecting this, but I am not the kind of person to get my hopes up.

I think that the back row could see my molars I was grinning so hard when we went to accept the award!

You have no idea how hard I worked to make this project be amazing!
It feels great to finally be recognized for all the hard work by someone other than my mom {haha}.

Graduation is so close now!

Oh and did I mention our team won $500!

Epic Fail Thursday!

Well Folks, I called this post "Epic Fail Thursday," because it was just that.
One epic fail after another.
And you know what one epic fail after another equals, a beyond exhausted, worn-out, Clara.

Epic Fail 1: I am taking a purchasing class, because I am a Supply Chain Major and we discuss all types of things related to getting the goods where they need to go. This morning we had negotiations, and I was the lead negotiator for the supplier and we were negotiating with potential buyers {other people in our class}. We start the negotiation and they start firing off all these numbers and facts about our company that we were never given in our description! Um hello! Not Fair! So of course I had to just go by the seat of my pants and make it all up as we went! All that planning down the drain. Epic FAIL!
It ended up going alright and we didn't ruin the negotiation {only because of my amazing poker face skills and I never showed my surprise} but I was thinking in my head that whole time boy is this one EPIC FAIL!

Epic Fail 2: I had designed a 36in x 48in poster board in Illustrator for another big class I am taking and had about 8-10 people look over it for any errors or mistakes before I took it to be printed. I go to pick it up with my friend Leslie on today and we find TWO spelling mistakes at the top of the board!!! WHAT! I was so upset! EPIC FAIL! Not only was this a spelling mistake we has misspelled the word assessment as assesment! way to go! and we had tracking with no c! So we had to PAY big $ to get it reprinted with no spelling errors because we are perfectionist and we have to use the board to present our project about 10 times in the next 2 weeks!
* Disclaimer- You may have also noticed by now that my spelling is not the best, and I apologize for that. I wasn't born with that skill.

Epic Fail 3: Ryan and I finally get home for dinner tonight and we fix a boring meal of chicken and rice pilaf {yeah no vegies, I know}  and I want a little something sweet, so I pull out a box of muffin mix. We mix it up and bake it and I sit down to eat it and immediately spit it out! YUCK! it tastes HORRIBLE! like Gross! I then proceed to look at the expiration date which I should have BEFORE we baked them and see the atrocious date of November 2011!

This was me all day, haha!

So yeah folks there you have it, one fabulous day of Epic Fails.
Lets not make this a usual Thursday posting or a Link up, ;)

I hope your day was much better!

Is it only Tuesday??

Oh man! Is it really only Tuesday? 

I feel like I have been running around like a "chicken with its head cut off"

{pardon the old back woods saying} 

These projects are really just kicking my little hinny!

I just thought I'd give you a lovely visual of me in distress during this rough week haha!

I wish I had gotten ahead on all my blogging plans over the weekend but of course all those nasty projects took up took much time!

So here's to graduation and real life and catching up on blog posts that I should have written like days ago and comments I still haven't replied to.

{I am going to fix all of those ASAP!}

This is part of one of my big nasty projects!!!
