i finally, finally got to sleep at about 4:30. and woke up at 7:30, and was the 62nd person in line for the museum opening gala celebration. and, because of my perserverance, i got two fancy blue tickets. they were giving away 200 blue tickets, which means that you get to sit down to watch the festivities. the rest are green tix, meaning you have to stand for hours.
i felt very excited about snagging the blue tickets. getting up early can have its rewards. and i’ll have to get up even earlier next tuesday, because it starts at 10, but you have to get there way ahead of time in order to get a good seat.
i still don’t know what, exactly, this ceremony is going to involve, but i guess i’ll find out. i’m sure a band or two will play.
the rest of the day was busy. i rode my bike all the way around the lake, but i don’t think i want to do that anymore because there were many car whizzing way too close to me, not to mention trucks.
speaking of trucks – this afternoon i was attempting to speed to work and got behind a semi that was creeping along. in big letters on the back was STUDENT DRIVER. i finally passed it, and sure enough, it was an old guy in red suspenders learning to drive a semi, there on the highway. i can check that off the list of things i wish i could learn in my life.
that is all for now. i hope your monday was tolerable.
ok then,
grace made it through yet one more day.
