Wow. Already a month into Junior year. There were two college-fair type things this week. A college visitation on Monday, and an actual fair on Thursday. But were quite informative. I feel a little weird about the fact that I actually like sitting in a stuffy room with a bunch of other snot-nosed teenagers listening to someone try to convince us to attend their college. The visitation was half the day, so I got out of science, and third period (open) and almost out of fourth period too.
On the day of the fair, school started late, and the freshman and sophomores were taking their ACT Plan and Explore tests. The bus scheduled to take us to Redmond (where the college fair was held) wouldn't be at the school until 8:50. Many people simply slept in, but my friends and I did not. In the spare time between 7:30 when we got to school and when the bus arrived, Max Dunkelberg and I went to breakfast at the Sage Cafe across the street from Summit.
A college fair is an experience quite unlike any other I have known, except maybe the videos of Saturday Markets in Singapore from the 1800's. There were so many people, it was difficult to tell where I was in relation to anything else. The colleges were represented by booths set up in long rows, and the milling chaos between the rows was the necessary highway to the other side. It's the type of thing where one has to have a plan before they enter, or they could get trampled within seconds.
Friday, there's a football game against Bend High. If Summit wins, it will be the fifth win in a row. Best of luck.
