I seriously considered dropping out this week. I got discouraged after barely making the cut in round 3, and decided that I didn't have the time to pursue it further. Then my man gave me a pep talk and got me at least to give it another try.
So here I am.
EDIT: Why I almost dropped out? I'm not the hottest girl here, and I don't have the best photographer or biggest budget. My best hope (imo) lies in the contest eventually branching into other types of challenges. So I'll try to stick it out until then
