INTERVIEW DAY!

WOW! Today is Thursday and I am so sorry that I have not been keeping up with my blogs! I have been adding pictures to my website and facebook though!

Today was interview!!!! I feel REALLY good about mine! I spoke confidently and intelligently! :) (I just hope that I didn't think it was good and the judges not!) Kristyn had her interview yesterday morning! She was very pleased with hers as well!

This week has been full of FUN! On Tuesday, we went to the Chicago Boy's and Girl's Club. It was so touching to see all of the children falling in love with all of us girls! They were all having competitions to see who get get the most of our autographs! The director of the Boy's and Girl's Club had told us that some of the children in the Club having unfortunate lifestyles at home and the photo's/autograph pages that we gave them is more than likely the only thing that they can call "theirs." It was very touching. After the Boy's and Girl's Club, all of the contestants went to the Navy Pier! At the Pier, we had the privilege to ride on a Speed Boat! Talk about fun!!!! The boat went up to 80 MPH!!!!!!! Of course we all were drenched when it was over, but we had a great time!

Yesterday, we went to the Chicago Library! It was fasinating! It was one of the biggest libraries in the U.S.! It consisted of 3 floors and had everything you could imagine. It had every book, current magazine, current newspaper, current movies and cds, and a book store with coffee! The most amazing think to me about the library was the current newspapers. The library has the current newspapers for other countries such as Japan, China, England, Australia......! AMAZING!

Last night we had rehearsals which seemed like FOREVERRRRR!!!!! But we are all bonding and having a great time!

Interview was this morning for me and followed by rehearsals! I just got ready and I am waiting for 7:30 to get here to watch Kristyn in the Miss Teen International Prelims! She is going to be AMAZINNNNGGG!!!

Tomorrow is a full 8 hours of REHEARSAL! :(

I have made so many great friends while being here! But, the one girl that I have bonded to at the hip haha, is Miss Alabama! Ashley is gorgeous, sweet and just perfect! Well besides the fact that she goes to AUBURN! GROSS I KNOW! hehe! But I am so excited because Auburn comes to Fayetteville this year and since she is a Senior, she is going to go to all away games! She is going to come and stay with me during that weekend! I am so excited!!!!!!!
