National American Miss

I am going to the preliminary tryouts and info meeting for National American Miss next Tuesday. I am someone who absolutely does not believe in pageants, but this one is not a beauty pageant. There is no swimsuit, no modeling, and if your under 12 your not allowed to wear make-up. The finals are in Disneyland which would of course be so fun, but my main incentive is the college scholarships. You can win so much money in scholarships, that I couldn't pass up a chance to try out. Wish me luck:)

My New "Thing"

I have set my eyes on a new goal. Getting into Catlin Gabel. It is a private k-12 school right next to St.Vincents. Application deadline is February 9th So I am crossing my fingers that it all comes together. I don't think mummy thinks I am serious but I totally am! 100% of their students go to college, and 60% are in ivy leagues! That is so incredible. On top of that, the highest SAT scores in Oregon, are current Catlin Gabel students! The tuition is out of control so my only hope is a large scholarship. We will see what happens! Isnt the campus beautiful?!?The green barn is the cafeteria, but juniors and seniors can leave the campus for lunch.
Because I just love running (not), here is the trail cross country runs. Gorgeous!


This is just a courtyard, but it looks like a college campus.
