It's 10:15, and I almost forgot to blog today! How sad would it be if I messed up on only day 3 of this challenge? But never fear, I live to blog another day!
Well, Texas Teens 4 Libraries (TT4L) was yesterday, and it was wonderful! I got to meet Meg Cabot and didn't embarrass myself too badly. :) I got to talk to Cassandra Clare again, this time a normal conversation as she was sitting outside the Teen Room before giving a talk, we talked about being nervous talking in front of people, the strange questions kids ask at Q&A sessions, and traveling in England (she said I should go to the British Library and the Tate Modern-will do!)
I also got to attend the Bluebonnet Award Luncheon, where they awarded Bluebonnet Award to Cynthia DeFelice and Andrea U'Ren for "One Potato, Two Potato". There was yummy food and wonderful speeches.
We went to a great session about intellectual freedom and a wonderful school that didn't bow down to The Man (aka a rich family who objected to book being taught) and John Green represented AS IF (Authors Supporting Intellectual Freedom) with wonderful eloquence and passion. I only wish I could talk that intellectually and eloquently about anything. One day, perhaps.
Even though it was a great week what with meeting amazing people and talking to lots of teens and librarian strangers and seeing my grad school professor among the huge crowds. Even though all of that was great, large crowd seriously exhaust me! Last night I got home at 7, and went to sleep--my mom came to me about an hour later and asked if I wanted to go to the gym with her. Apparently I said, "Yes, I do, but I don't think my body will let me move." I say apparently because I do not remember her coming in and talking to me! That's how out of it I was! :) Well, I'm le tired again now. So it is off to beddy bye for me and my copy of "City of Glass"!
DFTBA!

P.S. Right now I'm listening to Neil Gaiman read his book The Graveyard Book.
