Day 2.

Today I woke up very excited to meet new people and learn new things. At the hotel I dressed up in my favorite purple pants suit and headed off with the group to catch the metro to arrive at CPAC where many other college students just like me were gathering. I didn't realize there would be so many people, the first place that I went after I arrived at CPAC was the "place with all the free stuff". Here there were many different groups of people who were selling everything from bumper stickers and pins to books and memberships for different interest groups. One interest group that I had always liked was the NRA (the national rifle association) and they were giving a ten dollar discount today for CPAC attendees. So with that great deal being offered I decided to buy a membership and join the NRA. After this event, I listened to many different speakers share their political views like Mike Huckabee. Moving along in the day, Billy and I met Joe the Plumber, where we took a picture with him and had him sign books. After discussing with him where we were from he asked for our number because he said he comes to Bowling Green quite a bit and would like to talk to us more and hang out. Later in the evening I attended the public speaking workshop where I learned tactics to help me become a better public speaker. After that we all went back to the hotel and I had a nice dinner.
