I went to campus regardless, braving the rain, to check out the club sign-on fair that they were having today. I should probably get an umbrella, but the day I do will be the last day of rain for the rest of the year - I know it. So I am putting that off until I can no longer avoid it.
There were lots of students on campus, and lots of loud music, and people handing out fliers for their group, so it was a good time. I made my way through the mess, and went down to the international office (again) to confirm the amount of fees that I need to pay, since Tony has received my scholarship check, and I will be depositing it into the bank tomorrow.
A while later, I headed back home, where I relaxed and dried off, until I needed to get ready for my first Rotary meeting. I found out though, that it was not actually a meeting tonight, but rather we would be touring the Sealy mattress factory as part of a vocational learning opportunity.
Tony and I went to the factory, where the plant manager showed us around for about an hour. I don't think I ever would have assumed that mattresses were that complex! And the machinery that goes into making them!
Amazing! The tour was a little long and very noisy, but overall it was a very interesting experience.
Afterwards, many of the Rotarians met at a local place for some dinner, where I got the chance to introduce myself, and talk to them. It seems like the club is pretty diverse, so I look forward to getting to know everyone.
