so today, i read in the newspaper that bill clinton was coming to campus for a tour and a speech. since i had class at the time i didn't really think that i would be able to. about 15 minutes before class i decided to wander up to the building where he was speaking (which was down the hall from my department) to see who was around. i find my professor who i was taking the one o'clock class with... figured if i was late with him it wouldn't matter. standing around i see my best friend becca, our friend sarah and becca's boyfriend chris right infront of me. chatting, we realized that all of these black suv's and luxury cars are pulling up. then all of a sudden i hear "he's wearing a red tie!". i stand on my tippy toes and i see him walking up to the building. i pull in a little closer to the front.. i'm about the third person back fron the yellow tape. he walks in, we all start clapping, and he's saying hello to the upper people of campus.
then he decided to go shake hands. he starts a couple people from me... moves down the line. he shakes chris', becca's, MINE, and sarah's hands!!!! I totally lost my breath, i was just smiling as big as i could and in complete awe that he was shaking my hand and that he was standing so close to me.
eventually he made it to my professor and to everyone else he can get to. people were lined up on the stair well.. on the upper levels of the attrium and all around. people of course did not have digital cameras with them so all i saw were cell phones pointing at him from above. it was a site.
This was one of the coolest days of my life. plus i think i did well on my history exam, and my office has holiday goodies so i'm on cloud nine right now :-) :-)
