The Biggest thing to hit this town since...

This morning I headed out in a white tank top and khaki pants, small purse and book in hand, and walked around the corner to the local High School, which I attend, and prepared to stand in line for the next four hours, waiting for the doors to open to go in and get a seat to watch Mr. Bill Clinton the former president of the United States of America give a speech on why we should all vote for his wife in the coming presidential election. It was a good speech, I suppose, and if I could vote, and if voting were for a speech and not for a president, I would vote for that speech. Otherwise, I'm not a supporter of Hillary.

The day was nice and warm and I spent most of it waiting outside the high school doors with my speech team friends and coaches. Our head coach got there early and "saved us all spots" nearly at the head of the line. Eric and Al B and I, bored of sitting around on the sidewalk, left for a while to go to Eric's house around the corner and put together some signs on poster paper with sharpies advertising Speech Night, which will be on Monday evening. When we returned to the high school, the line had grown to stretch nearly all the way around the large high school and then double back! We carried our signs and Al B and Eric yelled out the details of the event. It was fun, and we got to see everybody who planned to get in to see Bill, including many people we knew.

After the speech, I was walking home and stopped at the corner of my street with a small group opf other people, some of whom I knew, to wait to see Mr. Clinton and his secret servicemen leave. A block away he got out and shook people's hands, but he only waved out the window at us.

*shrug*

It was pretty cool, though.
