This weekend. WHOA. So basically, I've been training two ladies for the Miss Black and Gold competition. The competition was this weekend at UW-Whitewater. They both did very well and I was very pleased with what they had done with the training that I had given them. I was finally able to officially pass off my title as Miss Black and Gold Wisconsin to one of the girls that I trained, Erika Janea Dickerson Despenza. I'm pleased that Madison has been able to keep the tradition alive and win at the state level for six years in a row now. I gave a speech about my reign, in my gorgeous black and silver dress with silver accessories and silver tiara. When Erika was announced as the winner, I got the hugest grin on my face. Unfortunately, our work is not done. Now the regional competition is in Ohio, and she will have to be prepped for that. I think she'll do very well there.
The rest of the weekend after the pageant was all right. The Alphas had their convention, which was nice. The girls were put up in a hotel and I spent some quality time with my best friend, Britt. The only drama was that there were plenty of skeletons in the closet trying to come back out, and right before V-day too. Then it was difficult because I was feeling slightly under-appreciated, but that was all right as well. In short, I'm just glad that I'm back in Madison, but not happy that I have to study for two exams this week and come up with a plan for PRIME and fit in V-day monologue practice this week. Pictured below is Andreall Moore (the best ever), Erika (the new Miss Black and Gold), and me.
