So after a week of living and breathing buses, hybrid drive trains, and Chinese infrastructure, I am done! My team made it to the second round and ended up 3rd or 4th in our cohort. While, not the win my teammates were hoping for (no team has ever won orientation case comp and then won the 1st year one) we were able to work through the problem well and spend hours and hours together and not kill each other. I thought our idea was fairly innovative and we were able to explain the story well, so while a loss it really wasn't.

And on the personal side, to be able to speak in front of a room of 70+ for 3 and a half minutes with no notes and just rolling with it...is a huge improvement for me. It really is amazing how much I have grown in the last three months.

There was a lot of stuff going on after, I decided to retreat home and watch a little Martha in my pj's (was glad to get out of my suit!) and finally relaxed. I then had a fantastic dinner at Malibu grill with some friends and called it a night...but not before doing some research for today's CMA day at Kroger.
