[243/365] state fair

[cosmolinguist]

I had about six hours of sleep. We were at the fair by 7:30 this morning. I

• ate cheese curds
• took lots of pictures (some of which are on Facebook now for those who know me there)
• got a temporary tattoo of Gitchigami (as I was delighted to see it called in the exhibit, though it was more often called Lake Superior)
• talked excitedly to people from the University of Minnesota's German, Scandinavian and Dutch languages department
• saw people wearing Minnesotan t-shirts I loved (most especially one that looked like it said "COLD°F" but upon closer inspection the degree symbol was a little lowercase "a" so the shirt really said "cold af")
• really wanted to buy a t-shirt that said "march & rally & knock & call & vote DFL" from the DFL (Minnesota Democratic party) stall but couldn't

Such a fun day.

I mean, I also could've written as long a bullet list about everything my parents did that annoyed or exhausted me, but I'm trying to focus on the positive. :) It's a pretty big deal that I got to go, and I'm glad of it.
