As we get closer and closer to Miss Indiana week I am more excited than ever for this year's competition. I have hit the stage where I am in Miss Indiana mode 24/7, singing all the time, working out like a madman, reading every news outlet I can get my hands on, walking around in my outfits and having a blast every second.
Although I am very busy with my final preparations, I am using my time very wisely as I am working two jobs this summer! The Duneland Family YMCA is my main position as the PR intern for them. I get a wide variety of experience from writing news releases, to tweeting updates of the goings-on at the Y, to designing flyers, bulletin boards or signup sheets. I even had on of the news releases I wrote printed on the front page of our paper here in Chesterton during my first week on the job!!
I am very excited tostart training for my second job today as well. I have my first waitressing job at Hooligan's here in Chesterton. Everyone tells me how hard waitressing so I can't wait to get started! LOL! I know I will learn many exciting things from the challenges I encounter there and will get to meet many interesting people. I won't be working there every day but I will be spending a lot of days going from one job to the next... guess that's what it's like to grow up ;)
Now you may be wondering how there is any time for Miss Indiana prep?! Luckily I am surrounded by amazingly supportive people who help me throughout the day in so many ways. I couldn't have a better team behind me even if I hand picked the people! I am forever thankful for the countless hours they have spent helping me make decisions, letting me sing the same song for them a million times and all of the alterations we have done so far!!
