10AM, twenty-three minutes to go. Let's hope they're on time and things don't get screwed up. I've been waiting for this for too long now. Eating this mediocre oatmeal was not on my list of daily activities for the past month. I can't let them know I've been onto them and I have to keep my emotions in check.
