Engineering Queen

Somehow over the last little while I lost my mind and signed up for a beauty pageant. Don't ask me...it was just a crazy spur of the moment thing. I blame my adventurous attitude and wanting to be able to say that I had been in a pageant. But don't jump to conclusions, this was an Engineer Queen Pageant. We had the Enginerd competition, the New Intern competition, and the True Beauty competition. Needless to say I kicked trash at the Enginerd competition...it is just so easy for me to be nerdy. In the Enginerd competition we had to dress up and act like a nerd. Now you can see why I did so well...I am nerdier in real life than some of the girls were when they were acting. In the New Intern competition we wore business attire and were asked two questions. All I have to say is that sometimes the first thing that comes to your mind is not the best thing to say...but it is definitely funny to laugh about later. If someone asks you if you were a food what food would you be, don't say broccoli. In True Beauty we wore evening gowns...I was really tempted to just wear a night gown and call it good. But I followed the rules. I did however strap my graphing calculator to my calf. It was very Miss Congeniality. And all the judges thought that I was very funny. But something I learned was that if you are ever in a beauty pageant don't forget your escort on stage...it just looks bad. Well that is my story of the Engineering Queen Pageant. I came in 4th place of 18...not too shabby.
