3.5.2013


{tonights treats}
justin rarely askes for anything besides 0.5mm pencils and chicken parm for dinner so when justin asked if we could go to a college fair, i said sure.
little did i know that it was on a school night.
little did i know it was at the austin convention center.
little did i know how informative this night would be.
justin, nathan & i jumped into the minivan &
headed downtown at 5pm.
we arrived at the sxsw edu event and found ourselves
the center of attention.
we had walked into an event that was not highly advertised.
we had walked into an event that was filled with promo pens, advertising backpacks and handouts galore.
we had walked into an event that was starving for people to share their brochures, their schools and their financial aides.
we had walked into an event that was ready to share with us.
we were wined, dined and loaded down with books and t-shirts.
we were able to talk one-to-one with harvard, rice, ut and texas tech.
we were slightly overwhelmed.
we were exhausted from filling out our email address.
we were tired of actually having to say 'ummm, not interested.'

we already have this marked on our calendar for next year!
