I am currently in a state of complete shock, so I won't be really verbose with this. In fact, I won't even use many complete sentences.
National FFA Convention
Agricultural Communications CDE 2008
Willamina FFA - 3rd place team
-Alyssa: Gold Individual
-Anna: Gold Individual
-Spencer: Silver Individual
-Katie: Silver Individual
-Kelsey: Gold Individual, 3rd high individual
Yep, I was the third high individual. I was definitely not expecting it, and I started crying in front of a little over 200 people at the awards banquet. I got a scholarship, and will be walking across the National stage during session tomorrow.
Wanna watch? It's going to be on TV!
RFD-TV. 1-5 p.m. (EDT) (Though I'll be on anywhere between 1:15 and 1:45). Channel 231 on Dish Network, 379 on Direct TV, and available on a number of other providers.
While the session is long, I recommend watching some of it, because it's really quite amazing how large the FFA is and just how amazing it all is.
[Sorry for all the misspellings and odd capitalization - I'm a little out of it right now.]

D-Day
Today, it begins.
We start the National FFA Agricultural Communications contest here in Indianapolis, and I am beginning to get a little nervous. I was just reminded that this will be my last-ever FFA contest, so I'm a little sad, but a little excited to make it a good one!
Our room is littered with empty Denny's to-go trays from 2 AM and there are papers and notecards everywhere with random things on them regarding natural disasters and Associated Press editing marks. We've been memorizing our presentation, frantically cutting from our speeches to make time, and plotting to win. This room is a disaster, and we've only been here one night - frenzied last-minute work will do that!
I won't give updates for the next couple of days, mostly because I'll be concentrating on competing. In fact, I really should be working on perfecting my "big hair" right now with a can of hairspray rather than blogging. Results will be announced Friday evening at a dinner, so that's when I will blog next!
