Chewing The Cud

My days in FFA are over, and boy were they good years. I competed in numerous contests and made it to nationals in Public Speaking, Job Interview, and Extemporaneous Speaking. I ended my FFA career with a bang by winning National Extemp and leading that little WALKOUT you have read about...Anyway, I have moved on to other things in my life, and I'm having a lot of fun doing it. I finished a year as a National Beef Ambassador and wondering how to keep myself busy I started:

1. Online Blogging
2. Weekly Radio Show
3. Weekly Column
4. Freelance Writing
5. Block and Bridle, Beef Chair and Representative
6. Sigma Alpha Women's Professional Agriculture Sorority
7. Little International Staff -Advertising and Publicity
8. 2008 Meats Judging Team
9. SDSU Meat Lab Employee

Do you ever do that? Do you ever make a list of all the things on your plate and just wonder when you ever eat, or sleep, or breathe? Forgive me for my sudden spaz attack. However, today I am spazzing not about my busy schedule or that I have five tests this week. Today I am spazzing about my little sister Courtney.

She is probably the coolest sister to have ever lived. She is just like me, but better. She is more talented in sports, she is prettier, she is bubbly, she is a great speaker, and everyone loves her, EVERYONE. Including me. That's why today I am a nervous nelly. Courtney is competing at the South Dakota State Career Development Event Leadership Contest in Public Speaking. Of course, I was her coach. We practiced, we rehearsed, we studied questions. She feels good about how she did, but I'm waiting for the results as we speak. I can't handle it, my stomach is in knots.

However she did, I'm PROUD of my little sister Courtney! :) I tell her if she put 110% into it and did the very best she could AND its enough to win, then GREAT. If she loses and still put in that 110% effort then by golly she still rocks in my book.

Just wait! Just wait! I have a text ringing on my desk. It's from Courtney. It says.....

SHE WON!!!!

Now I'm a very proud, proud sister. And you'll never guess her topic: Beef Myths and Animal Rights Activists! YAY! :) Thanks for letting me share this with all of you. Tomorrow I will settle down for a very serious blog post. Have a great day everyone!
