inherited traits

My grandfather and father passed down some wonderful traits and habits down to me.

Grandpa always used to do Pro/Con lists. (which no doubt, I will be doing when I have to decide which jobs I like, etc before Graduation).

So I thought I'd do one for the weekend:

Pros:
--USMC Mud Run on Saturday in Columbia with my family was awesome! Mud, family, laughs, running, obstacles. My team was Cameron, Michelle, Pete and myself. We finished in 1hr 32mins, beating the other Modus21 teams. (that's my competitive nature coming out--something I also inherited).
--I went home after the Mud Run to Charleston. Had dinner with Mom, Jim, and Cameron Saturday night AND got to see my best friends from Ashley Hall, Medley, Madeline and Ellen (minus Madden and Suzanne). I also got to see some old boy EXs which is always fun. And went to my step-brothers' bar Big Johns on East Bay.
--Slept in AND had an afternoon nap, along with a great breakfast cooked by Mom.
--Got to see my dog, Rosie.
--Dinner at Dads house on Isle of Palms with the fam.
--Safe drive to Clemson and to Atlanta
--An awesome interview in Atlanta for Insight Global, where I got to see Allie Quirk and meet all her co-workers AND secure a second interview with them!!! whoop whoop!!
--Second interview with M.C. Dean in Charleston is working on being scheduled!! woohoo!!

Cons:
--During the Mud Run, Pete hurt his back, Michelle got all scraped up and bloody, I whacked Cameron in the face and cut her, and Cameron kicked me in the face and popped out my jaw. Owie.
--Mud Run traffic. Boo.
--Driving and gas $$. Boo.
--The really bad weather. Thunderstorms and rain, which left me in Charleston for another night and made my drives a little longer than planned.
--Total 8 hours + driven today.
--I hit over 98,000 miles on my 4runner today. Whoa.
--Atlanta 5 o'clock traffic. Boo.
--I didn't get home until 730pm, which is when I had to start studying.
--International Economics exam tomorrow at 330pm. Booo.
--I am EXHAUSTED.
--No workout in today.

That's the gist of the weekend.

Ps--I think about my Grandpa a lot during this interview/job search process. He was the sweetest, kindest, humble, and successful man ever! I could only hope to be 1/1000th of what he was. Seriously. Awesome. When I decided to make the switch out of architecture (that I'd been doing for 2 1/2 years) into Business, Grandpa was SO encouraging. He knew I could do it. He knew I'd make something of myself. And I know he'd be so proud of me with what I'm doing and these interviews. Sometimes I wish I could just share it with him. He'd say "I'm so proud of you! I knew you could do it! Have a lot of great days! And do your best on every test"! (Seriously y'all. Best man ever)

Pss--I also started singing his infamous "John Rebeck" song during the Mud Run--I think he got a kick out of that. Ha! (that is until Cameron made me stop singing and other people were looking at me funny!)

Anyways, my posts will probably be really random.

I guess I'm really posting for my family, to keep up with things, especially Lauren in the DR since we don't get to talk that much.

I'll be working on this Clemson photo journal as soon as I get iPhoto back on my Mac.

Have a lot of great days!
Do your best on every test!

Goodnight!
