Appearances, Final Exams, and Fundraising

Hello

I think the title basically explains what today's post will say.
Pretty much, my life right now consists of appearances on the weekends, among other homework studying for my final exams which draw closer every day, and trying to fund raise for the national pageant in Orlando this August. I might have already mentioned this or you may already know, but I will tell you anyway. One of the expectations that this position entails, is the obligation - or I would say privilege - of representing Vermont in the best light possible in the national Miss America's Outstanding Teen pageant in Orlando, Florida this August. As you might guess, this costs a significant, actually a VERY large amount of money. Our aims are high and I am currently seeking multiple sponsorships and fundraising opportunities. So far, I haven't been extremely successful I am sad to report, however, I have not yet begun to fight, OK, OK, I'll admit, that was a corny, misplaced quote!
But I certainly have not lost hope in any sense what so ever and I'm excited for all that the summer holds (and not just about fundraising).
Excelling at finals unfortunately has to be my biggest concern right now, but as soon as they are over - a week from today!!!!! - I can begin my summer! I will be spending much of my time preparing for the pageant, practicing my talent piece, a piano Sonatine by Aram Khachaturian (great last name, huh?) And of course, summer parties with all my awesome friends, good 'ol family vacations. camping trips (I love the outdoors!) and hopefully a lot of shopping if I can get some jobs!
Well, speaking of the fact that summer isn't here yet (boo hoo) and I do have exams, I'd better go study!

Au revoir!
