| | Over these past few weeks I've found myself doing a lot of things for the first time. I voted for the first time last week and saw Mrs. Felman, the kindergarten teacher, taking the little slips of paper you hand in before you vote. Not to put too fine a point on it but she's getting on in years. I'm wondering how many election days she's worked there...perhaps ______ (this is blank because I know how closely the school administration reads our xangas and I wouldn't want this to be misconstrude so I'm leaving the blank fo you the reader to fill in). I also took my first trip to Iowa this past weekend. I suppose I should jump on the band wagon and add this: Grinnell College 2010 Anyway, as many of you know they grow corn out there in Iowa...that's an understatement, I think it would be more accurate to say that they collect corn out there because they have it everywhere. They even grow stuff on the grass which covers the median which divides the highway. Anyway, I thought the campus was nice. It's very large and many of the buildings have interior corridors where one may walk if the weather is bad. The people were nice too, especially my tourguide who seemed to me to be the sort with whom I would like to hang out. On Saturday of last weekend I got my first tour of the Iowa state Capitol...did you know the Iowa Capitol building uses 29 different types of mineral to decorate the interior? Didn't think so, nor do I think that you care at all. But hey, it seems like just the sort of useless fact one learns in Iowa.
This week also marked the first time I've won something from the prom people. For those of you who weren't present, we had the post-prom sweepstakes on Monday and they called my name for one of the corsages...so I guess I'm going to the World Class Montgomery Shop-Rite for the corsage. Larissa, I'm sorry to take the choice out of your hands but what can I say? It's not everyday something like this happens...
On a different note my interview with the scholarship people was today. Good luck to those of you out there who still need to go. I don't really feel very good about this whole thing because it inherently pits us all against each other. I suppose it's no different than applying to the same college as a friend, but since it is only limited to Montgomery High School it seems a little less ethical. Well good luck to all of you who still have to interview and good luck to those of you who still have to decide where to go to college.
