All in Favor of Forgoing Nationals This Year, Raise Your Hands

So this weekend I am forgoing a trip down south to school (which includes sisters, family weekend fun such a Dave Coulier, and Macho Mug [oh drinking games...kind of miss you?]) due to lack of funding for a rousing day at the races! The last time I went to The Legacy Chase at Shawan Downs was when I was a junior? in high school and my a cappella group was asked to sing the National Anthem. The Legacy Chase is kind of like, the new kid on the block when it comes to these things, My favorite has to be My Lady's Manor.

In true "my life" fashion, I am not driving, but rather hoping to be dropped off by my parents (I feel like I am 13 going to the movies, what?!) and meeting my little group, who are coming up in a packed car (which is why I am being dropped off. unpopular kid? maybe). I am excited and hope it will be fun, we are going to hang out some at the Alma Mater tent, so who knows, maybe I'll make new friends and someone will know someone who will give me a job (I'm an optimist).

One thing I like about this race is that it's in the fall. Which means while I am sure everyone and their mother will be decked out in sundresses (even though the forecast is 64 degrees with chances of rain) I do not feel so bad with just looking nice. We shall see!
