*Deep Inhale*
OK. Today is my last day of teaching my Bronx students. I'm prepared to weep like a fool. And then I return to Brooklyn for a quick 45 minute packing spree before running off to teach my Brooklyn students (half of whom I will work with this summer- this is my last day with the other half)- cue more tears.
And THENNNNN... I'm off to cheer on my super sassy sister at the preliminary night of Miss New York 2011!

My sisters and I at a Miss NY Fashion Show- from L to R- Courtney Sheridan- Miss Empire Rose 2010, Me- Miss Greater NYC 2010, and Kieren- Miss Mohawk Valley 2010.
This time last year, I was doing this:

And this:
What a difference a year makes! I could have never foreseen how many exciting opportunities I'd be faced with at this moment. Looking back, I'm so grateful for my pageant experiences because they taught me a lot about myself.
After this weekend's Miss NY Pageant in Staten Island, I'm heading back upstate to visit my family and friends for a week before driving to Little Switzerland, NC for a playwrighting residency at Wildacres Retreat!
WORKOUT RECAP:
Yesterday I went out for what was supposed to be a 6 mile run, but cut it to 5.4 miles. About 3 miles in, I got extremely light headed and nauseous. This is the THIRD run in a row that this has happened to me? I'm hydrated and fueled.... What is going on?!?!
I worked out with a friend later on yesterday evening- she hasn't worked out in a while (5 years, to be exact) and is looking to shape up. She did great! We went for a quick one-mile and then did some body weight strength moves and stretched.
Do you have any exciting adventures coming up?!
