It's been a good summer - possibly the most eventful of my life. But I welcome fall! I'm really looking forward to settling down, getting back on a more regular schedule, watching football, enjoying wonderful weather, seeing friends more, and starting some new events at church.
* = I never heard anything more from Wheel of Fortune. They said callbacks would be in August, but I wasn't contacted, nor do I know anyone who was, and I'm not sure if the callbacks happened at all (I have a Google Alert set and am generally in touch with local news). At this point I'm assuming that's the end of it, but you never know. In any case it was a great experience!
I'm sorry nothing came of you audition, but I think it's cool you tried!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you had a good summer (and busy!), but I know what you mean about looking forward to more structure and a bit of calm. I'm looking forward to it too. :)
