It was the quickest 38 hours in LA that felt like a NY minute. August 7, 2024 will forever be a day I remember. My heart dropped when I found out I would be a contestant on Wheel of Fortune. I watch the show regularly and play the game on my iPad several times a week, but to actually be on the show is something different. I was in a whirlwind trying to get things together in less than 3 weeks, but it all came together. Telling my friends and family was funny because almost nobody said they weren't shocked but still surprised and it could only happen to me.  I was very nervous not knowing what to expect, but they started easing when I realized they're just puzzles. As a weather nerd, it was very funny and ironic how many of the puzzles were related to weather. Then again, it was Great Outdoors week, LOL. What a fun time. I met great people, got to do something not many people get to do, and I can now use this as my fun fact in my classes and when I'm at different events.
