Tamamlandı!

That's Turkish for completed, finished, DONE!! My team gave our client presentation today and ROCKED IT! I'm so proud of how well we did, and our client really loved it. A second team presented after us for the same client on a different topic (and they were phenomenal as well), and when they finished, and took questions, our client said, "I have a question for both groups: would they be interested in being hired at ITKIB?"

Not only did the team do an amazing job, but I got an incredibly kind compliment from my professor on my part of the presentation specifically. I was an unprepared wreck of nerves last night as we ran through some stuff in her room at 10pm, so it was especially nice to hear.

A third group presented today for a different client, and they were all offered jobs as well! ("I have a question - when you finish your studies, will you come to work for Pantera?) GW MBAs represent! We all feel a thousand pounds lighter. What a marathon. And the other two groups don't present until next week (after we go to another city on Sunday), so we can all celebrate together tonight.

Also, yesterday was an incredible day for site visits and the Istanbul experience. Will write about it at some point. For now, it's time for a group dinner and celebration down by the Bosphorus. It's going to be a good night. But we can't be out too late, because we have tourist day tomorrow! Hooray!
