Thursday, February 23

Work was SO fulfilling today. I got a LOT finished...just little projects like mail merge and creating documents that I love. I created letters for top donators, and soon certificates, decals, and labels will go with these letters. I wanted to leave work early so that I could meet Chad at a train station and still have time to get to the apartment, eat, and change before the Opera at 7pm. It was a struggle to get everything at work completed before I left, and still get out of there at 4:30, but I did it! Chad and I met at the station and then took the train home. We all showed him the apartment and got ready for Dido and Aeneas that evening. I took notes throughout the show and after. I enjoyed it more than I thought I would originally.

(My notes will go here)

The opera was long and many people left. I wasn't too tired because of the temperature of the theatre, but I did get a little restless and bored in the second part of the Opera. After all, I had been sitting all day and all I wanted to do was go for a run!
