trick or treating at SLCC

I went with my younger sister to Salt Lake Community College for their let's-get-excited-about-school-starting-up-for-sophomores-fair and had so much fun!  It brought back good memories of when I went there and made me want to go back and finish up school.  I need to wait till Travis is done with school, but it was good to feel that excitement about school again. 

They had people from each class/major sitting behind tables waiting for newcomers to come up and ask them questions about their major. We were supposed to be there to support my sister, but I ended up talking to some people about classes that I would be interested in taking. 



The people behind the desks coaxed others to come over to them by having big bowls of candy sitting in the middle of their table, and I freely accepted their offerings.  I brought Lucy with me and I was worried that she would get restless and ornery, but I was completely wrong!  One of the guys at a table gave her a little bag and filled it up with some of his candy, and at every table we passed, people would laugh and put more candy in her bag.  She had so much fun!  I was laughing so hard!  She also got free pizza, cookies, cotton candy, popcorn, and I got a free pen!  It was amazing!  I think that after this experience, Lucy is going to love college.  I was very impressed and wanted to go back. 

Maybe that is sad that I had so much fun at a college fair, but I really had a lot of fun!  Thank you SLCC for giving me and my daughter a fun and memorable night!

To top it off, I got to visit my brother-in-law (he works there) and that was a fun spontaneous surprise.

What a GREAT night!
