I love the Kentucky Derby. It makes me happy. I heard this conversation in the bar last night:
Girl 1 - Are you going to study tomorrow?
Girl 2 - God no! I have to watch the derby and drink.
Girl 1 - Oh yeah! My mom called me to make sure I didn't forget to watch it. Isn't that ridiculous?
Girl 2 - Hah! That is hilarious! Yes, we must drink tomorrow.
(the girls left the bathroom - and Cristina and I started laughing)
Cristina - I'm sure their geography exam is going to be terrible. It makes me sick to hear them talking about having to study. I'll tell them about studying.
Me - When they were talking about their mom being ridiculous, I felt like saying - My parents named me after the announcer of the Kentucky Derby - isn't THAT ridiculous?
Cristina - you should have, I would have started crying laughing.
I have had a bad day. I deserve a julep cup to make myself feel better about it.
