Door Prize? Disappointment?

This morning, mommy got an email from Cornell saying:

Congratulations ….

You are a winner of one of the door prizes from the S.E.E.D. event ….

Please come to B20 Day Hall to collect your prize!!!  (We are open 8-4:30 Monday-Thursday and 8-3:30 on Friday).

 

Mommy attended a University hosted event a few days ago.  I put my name into the drawing but wasn’t expecting to win anything.  With that email, I can’t help to think what am I winning this time?

 

Is that Statler Hotel Dinner for Two?

 

Could that be the bus trip to NYC with two nights stay in Cornell Club?

 

Is that a gift certificate from Heights Cafe?

 

Or, this could be free movie theater tickets for Mimi and I?

 

I went to Day Hall with excitement and anxiety to claim my prize.  I tried to give myself a prep talk that it could be something as small as a coffee mug so that I will not be too disappointed. 

 

It took a long time for them to find my award. 

 

Finally, the woman handed me an envelope with:

This is a one week free membership (worth about $30.00).  Even though the woman in the office told me this is considered one of the “better” prize, this is probably the last thing I will need in my life.  Now, the coffee mug looks very attractive.

 

I will talk to Mimi to see how we are going to use this.  Auctioning this out on Craigslist?  Or you may see a new article next week of our trip to the fitness center?

 

Stay tuned.
