Today I had two fairs to get to on the other side of town - by 6:45am. The funny thing was that all the college reps had to meet at a mall and there were buses waiting to take us to the first fair - seeing about 60 adults professionally dressed on buses is pretty funny, but the funniest part was when we arrived and we all piled out of the buses got our rolling suitcases out and swarmed towards the gym.
The fair was pretty successful but way too long. all the reps were starting to drag and then we all remembered we had another fair to get to! we piled back on the busses and got to the second school and it felt like an eternity! 5 hours of hundreds of students asking you the same questions can get very tiring. "what is your school known for?" "do you have sports at your school?" "you're the number one party school right?" "I don't know what I want to study - I want to play baseball"
but I did see several students in maroon and gold! turns out they have a really good baseball program and we actually have been recruiting them, so they proudly wore sun devil gear.
after the fairs I pretty much just wanted to sleep, but I decided hanging out in my hotel room was a waste of a week in a new city, so I went to the Mall of America! I was very tired, so I only walked around the first floor (there are 4) and had dinner and went to see "He's Just Not That into You". The food was good - I had a cheese burger, but the best part was the salt and vinegar french fries, they were definitely puckering. Also, the best iced tea I have ever had was there. it was black current, and it was a really subtle berry flavor, so it just took away the bitter taste without really adding too much fruity flavor. The movie was really cute too. I am going back to the mall tomorrow and saturday for the other floors, no need to tire myself out too much just for shopping.
