Pay the Lady, Pay the Lady, Pay the Lady!

 

I’m back from ISSE with THREE 1^st place trophies in hand! I celebrated by sleeping in, because on competition days I’m up as early as 4:30 a.m. Although I woke up this morning feeling like I had been hit by a truck, I’m pretty darn proud of myself. And why not? I worked hard and I practiced a lot.

 

This was actually a goal I set for myself a long time ago. To sweep (win every competition that I participated in) at ISSE.

 

It feels good to achieve it.

 

Now, what’s next?

 

Here are some quick pictures from the show:
