Tomorrow, as many of you are well aware, is the Muse concert. It'll be the second time that I've seen them play, but it's the first actual Muse concert I've seen. Needless to say, I am going to have a hard time sleeping tonight. That's not the only reason, though. Actually it's only one of three.
The second one is kind of weird. I woke up at 1 this morning after falling asleep at 4 yesterday afternoon. When I woke up, I watched two movies, then drove for a little bit because why the hell not, then went to the gym for an hour, then had lunch with my dad, then came home and sat around waiting for the Stars game. My day started about 18 hours ago and it feels like I just woke up. It's fantastic.
The third one is the reason for all the extra adrenaline running through me though.
At about 6:30, I was bored on my computer, so I decided to check my email. This is the first one that popped up:
Morgan,
On behalf of the Dallas Stars Foundation, I would like to congratulate you on being selected as our 2010 High School Media Day Article Contest winner. We were very impressed with your article and commend you for your hard work.
We would like to invite you out to the game on Tuesday, April 6th versus the Chicago Blackhawks. The game will start at 7:30 PM. Please let me know if this date will work for you and then I will reply with further details about the night. Congratulations again and we look forward to hearing from you soon.
Thanks!
Needless to say, a big boy like me turned into a little squealing girl pretty quickly (it was more fist pumps and jumping like a dude on a trampoline sans backflips). I lost this same contest last year and felt pretty pissed about it. I'm just beyond ecstatic to win it this year.
At the end of last week I was angrily doubting my future as a journalist, but then this comes along and makes me confident and excited for what's about to come.
I'm going to keep this short. I don't want to start bragging to make people feel bad. I do that too much as it is.
