Well, the project I was working on for Albuquerque is done and sent. It should arrive in New Mexico before I do! The funny thing is the three-day shipping would cost twice as much as the regular shipping but they both are scheduled to arrive Friday. We aren't guaranteed with the regular, but for twenty bucks less we were willing to take the risk!
With that all taken care of, I turned my attention to the fair. Today was the opening day, which means it was also the FFA Alumni BBQ. Yum- slowly smoked barbecued pork, baked beans, applesauce and crumbly cookies for $6 to support the FFA chapter. It's a beautiful deal. But let me tell you, working it this year was HOT. I know, every year I say it is hot, but this year it was extremely hot. I was burning up even though I was under a roofed pavilion! But don't let my complaining fool you- I truly enjoy working out there with and for the FFA members. It may sound kind of cheesy but the Trenton FFA really did a lot for me, so I'm glad to do anything I can to help out the future generations.
This year I was the only alumni member to show up to help though, which made me kind of sad. The dinner used to be completely run by alumni members. Sadly I am realizing once people leave town it's sometimes hard for them to get back. In the coming years I may even be in that situation. Growing up is tough, and life isn't fair.
Speaking of which, I had a long chat with financial aid this morning. Life definitely isn't fair, and unfortunately that's quite obvious in finances. I've been blessed to receive so many scholarships this year that I won't be receiving as much work study funds as I did last year. That's kind of a bum deal, but I know it'll all work out. Though I'll admit earlier today I was struggling to remember that.
Oh, and up tomorrow: I think I'm headed out to find some things for our house. Should be an interesting adventure!
