The Road to Graduation

The month of April was of course when everything was due; internship paper/poster, final entrepreneurship presentations (2 in 3 days), and poster presentations.  To add to my stress level I had to make an emergency trip home to check on my daddy….FAMILY FIRST.  Got my poster finished and sent to the printers, then noticed that I had some MAJOR typos…4 revisions and $96 later I finally got it right.  English is not my strongest subject, so I wanted someone else to look over my final paper, but it was done in time and I ended up proof reading it myself.  Five revisions later and it was ready to turn in.  A week before entrepreneurship presentations, and we are still putting the finishing touches on our company…two days before and we are still working in it #icantdeal.  The day of presentations for the class and…..we do an awesome job…time to #turnup…just a little bit…lol.  Now we have less than 48 hours to fix and trim the presentation for some of our business professors/judges…#turndown.  Presentation day 2 and we do another awesome job. Poster presentations for internship projects and the only thing many of us could think about is the beach trip we’re taking in a few days.  After 3 hours of saying the same thing over and over again, presentations were done and for the most part so was our grad school careers.  BEACH TRIP….OUTTER BANKS…..BEACH HOUSE…POOL….HOT TUB….BEACH…..MINI GOLF…..ALCOHOL….5 DAYS….TOO MUCH FUN!!!! #turndownforwhat

The day before graduations and my parents are on the way….I’m curling my hair, add I get a phone call from them only to find that they got off in the wrong exit.  So we all have to get dress at my house and rush off to the awards dinner….and we’re late (though I heard we missed the boring part).  We got there just in time for my shinning moment.  We really impressed the judges during the second presentations because we won the award for the best science based project for that round of presentations.  I set my alarm for 5am to beat the traffic and ended up at 3am #excited.  Dressed, face on, cap, gown, tassels, and metal in hand and out the door.  No traffic, but I spent 15 minutes auguring with the lady at the gate that “I’m a graduate and I don’t have to pay for parking…yall already have enough of my money”.   Eventually she lets me in and I take my track in the heat to line up.  45 mins in that room….another 15 standing in line outside waiting to walk to the lawn to listen to somebody talk about something that I don’t remember.  Then we transitioned over to a second area for our degree presentation….and that degree is huge….can’t photocopy that and send it out…plus its in Latin….good thing it came with a translation…lol….and the rest of  my day looked like this….EAT…SLEEP….TURNUP….SLEEP
