Let me tell you about this hilarious thing I did.
Remember the subject of yesterday's post?
Go on. Take a quick look.
Ok- so last week our teacher tells us about this audit case competition that GSU does (GA state- not my college). You get a team together, submit some answers, if you get called back, then you make a presentation. If you present and get in the top 3, there are cash money prizes.
First place is $1,000 per student, and I think second place is $300 per student.
I'm sitting there, listening to this "wonderful" "opportunity", and my brain was like, "Dude. I hate auditing."
And then another part of my brain was like, "Dude, I know. But you're inherently an over-achiever. And there's a chance for $1,000. It's one of these rare low-risk, high reward situations."
And then my brain said, "Dude- I hear you. But I'm not even motivated to do the work I have to do, let alone an optional group project. Geez, Louise."
And then the other part was like, "Now don't you be callin' me Louise!"
And so on and so forth.
The next day, a guy asked me if I was interested.
I answered honestly in that I told him I hated auditing, but then confessed that I wouldn't mind being a part of a group or exploiting my collective brain resources for the cause.
Before I knew it, I was staying after class on Thursday telling people to sign me up.
And so I guess I'm part of a team doing an audit case competition.
For fun.
Isn't that HILARIOUS?
Sarcasmically so.
I shall keep you posted on how this hilarious situation unravels. Especially if I win a cool $1,000.
Also, I think I'm the only one in my family who enjoys gummy bears.
What happened to you guys?
I'm going to attach some yarn to a hoodie and be a lion,

Gummy bears are bad for your teeth -- a retentive carbohydrate that could contribute to dental decay. Brush thoroughly after eating. Good luck on your competition!
ReplyDeleteI'm just catching up on my reading due to excessive work hours (the reality of a real job). If you know enough about getting rich quick to write a book telling other people how to do it...seems like you would already be rich. Would you buy a Pork BBQ recipe book written by a Jewish Vegan? Not that they couldn't be a good cook, but how would they know?
ReplyDeleteYou'll probably win. You have Jansen skilz.
ReplyDeleteGummy bears are gross, as are most other candies excluding chocolate.
Remember peeps?
Mum: I do brush after eating and put spinach on my subway sandwiches.
ReplyDeletePappy: Their faith would allow them to write a phenomenal pork BBQ recipe book, though they probably wouldn't because it'd be against their faith. The whole thing is Catch-22, hence the mind-blowing picture.
Biff: I probably won't win because I suck at auditing, but I get props for trying. Props is close to Peeps, and Peeps are gross.
