This past week has been an absolute blur! Since making the semi-finals of the Dayton's CW Star Contest (read previous post for deets!), my life has been consumed with the competition.
Last week after they made the announcement, all of the finalists and semi-finalist met at the CW studios in Dayton to take the next step in the process to find THE Dayton's CW Star.
We gathered, mingled, laughed, and had a slight undertone of attempt to sound cooler than one another in conversation. Expected, right?
We all got headshots taken for the website... check out cha'girl!
Then we were told we had to give a plea for the camera for the station to put up online to act as a regulator for votes, and as a result, to act as the decision to choose the 10th finalist.
GIVE IT A WATCH.... (or 700 ha)
Bottom line, whoever has the most views of their video and moves to the finals and still has a shot to become... the FIRST DAYTON's CW STAR! (awkward reality show tagline intended)
Because of this, I've been networking and trying to get friends and family to watch my video to the point of sheer exhaustion and annoyance. I've been BLOWN AWAY by how many people are not only giving my video a quick view, but are continually keepin my vid on repeat to help rack up the votes. It's so humbling and exciting! In addition to that, my boss at work gave my co-workers and I the go-ahead to vote as we make calls all day, so that has DEFINITELY helped me raise numbers! We have it down to a science... Bill Nye would be jealous.
With that said, all free time has been converted to voting time (even as we speak...), so that's the reason for the lack of bloggage in the past week. It's to a point when I'm not home I'm like "ok, how fast can I get out of here to get back to it?" It's sad. But hey, I'm in this thing.... it's a great opportunity, I'm gonna give it all I have.
As of Wednesday night, I was in the top 5 (no order I believe). If I hadn't been in top 5, it might have been worth giving up because with all the people I know voting, and in what volume, people would have to be cheating by having a computer automatically vote or something. Ah geez... this is crazy.
And again, for those of you out there voting for me, I truly can't thank you enough for your support! It's insane what you all are doing for me and it means a lot! You better believe if I win it all, the first thing I'm doing is throwin a LEGIT party and showering you all with food and entertainment or whatever in thanks!
I can't do it without ya!
The voting goes thru the 20th!!
Keep prayin! Keep play-pushin'!
