Excellence

This past week was excellent, to say the least.

Tuesday bright and early (actually, dark and early) my CTV family and I headed west for the competition of our lives.

We roamed around and explored for a bit and prepared for the Sweet 16 competition. Taylor and I did our segment at a marijuana dispensary which was quite an experience. The people were great and their smoothies greater ;)

So it turns out we can produce an incredible show.. first place worthy.. in 16 hours and 4 minutes. Too bad it's called sweet 16 for a reason. So of course, everyone flipped a shit when we got disqualified.

Despite the madness that night, everyone had a great time. Balloon animals/swords, a sketchy exchange with jesus at mcdonalds, entertainment in legos, millions of pictures, and trillions of Chardo euphemisms along with incredible company made it a great trip.

To make up for the sweet 16, we were all COMPLETELY caught off guard when we won the excellence award; the most prestigious award of the convention. That named us the best high school weekly news show of the nation. Fuck yeah! And I won 2nd place in the nation for script writing!!!

So, it was quite a learning experience and it got my hopes high for the future: My possible writing/broadcasting future, and the plausible legalization of medicinal marijuana in Florida in the next two years.

Do I even need to repeat myself? EXCELLENT.
