Where the heck are you and what have you been doing?

WHAT DO YOU MEAN I HAVE TO GO BACK TO SCHOOL

So what now?

It's funny how post pageant "hangover" leaves us in a cycling tornado of confusing emotions, lots of questions from friends and family, and sometimes a loss of direction. 
I'm personally a fan of waiting at least one week before discussing your pageant that you just competed in, if the outcome isn't what was desired. 
So, I've spent some time on my own reflecting and evaluating my performance and personal goals while also talking with people in my close inner circle in order to decide what comes next for me. 
But what is next? I've finished my degree at the University of Mississippi, but I have $10,000+ in scholarship dollars earned to use...

But what about the scholarship Money?

Well then I certainly can't stop pursuing my higher education now!
I'd be incredibly foolish to not use the incredible scholarship package award from Miss Tennessee.  
All the conversations with family and personal reflection have lead me to... *drumroll*
Pursue my Master's of Business Administration at the University of Tennessee, Chattanooga!
If you know me, you know how much I love the Scenic City (shameless promotion of one of my favorite pageant titles) and have always wanted to live here, and now I finally have the chance!

So no matter what life throws my way next or whatever happens in these crazy twists and turns I encounter on a daily basis, I've chosen to live in a city I love, near the people I care about, and I made it all my own choice to turn this new page and start this next adventure. 
I'm so excited to be here -- and I'm sorry to everyone I haven't told sooner! it's been a crazy whirlwind since my decision to move here and I haven't slowed down since! 
Give me a ring when you're in town next time and let's grab coffee--
I'd love to show you around my new home and introduce you to the incredible people that have welcomed me with open arms since the (actual) day I moved here. 

All my love,

Christine Electra
