State Fair-ed Out

I am thrilled to not be attending class this year.

At this time last fall, I was weighing a decision of whether to stay at the MN Daily and finish up my poli sci minor or just move on to the real world. It was a tough choice with no real enticing job prospects at the time, but a few weeks later, I dropped those classes and started finding my new gig. Three jobs later - I can't believe it's been a year already.

Despite the onslaught of rain and dreary weather, we endured the state fair and I got my fill of fair food on Sunday. For my new food of the year, I had the deep fried twinkie. It was too sweet, too mushy, and frankly, I never want to eat anything like that ever again. I was also encouraged by a couple of moms working at a beer stand to do a topless table dance. And yes, after the rain subsided, I wussed out of actually straping into the ejector seat. The Twinkie did it. But perhaps the most disgusting part was puddle jumping around horse manure in flip flops (yea, it was pretty nasty).

As I expected, I also learned I have the ability to save the world. I have O-negative blood - which means when you all get sick, you're gonna need a couple of pints of me running through you!
