Today was RAINING! not rainy, RAINING! I drove on a highway in a torrential downpour! it was nearly a whiteout, it was like driving in a haboob but with water so the windshield was never easy to see out of. crazy. Oh yeah, and you can't just pull over and wait 10 minutes for it to pass - torrential rain for hours! It was scary and cool. Scary for not being able to see well, but cool because well, it is rain!
Luckily I am in the land of 10,000 lakes (now we know where the come from) so there is not actually much flooding. I didn't have to look for potential deep spots or flash floods as I drove. But it is supposed to be rainy (potentially RAINING!) through saturday - which could be ok or bad. Coincidently, Brett got laid over in Minneapolis tonight on her way to Des Moines, to visit her boyfriend at Drake, because of the rain so I hope that it lets up a little bit before my flight home on Saturday. I am ready to come home.
In other news the rest of the college fair went well, and I did not run out of any materials, although I did pretty much use up my contact cards so I am glad that I made copies of them to take to my high schools tomorrow.
Tonight was also my Sneak Preview event. that was fun! I got to do a 2 hour long presentation for students and parents (about 60 people total) with a powerpoint and dvd and everything. Even better, all the evaluations about the event were really positive. I also met a MN ASU alumni who was really nice and knows some of the same people I do.
Tomorrow is my last day (whew!) and I think I will head to the Mall of America afterwards. Do a little shopping and maybe see a movie and veg out. Anything to stay out of the rain :)

You have to go to places like Mn so you know Az isn't all there is.
Rain is different when you know it isn't going to pass in a few minutes. The last month and a half we had rain almost everyday. Ugh.
I home your plane isn't delayed or anything and you get home safe and sound.
