Update: Black Saturday, Fall Break, and Political Activenessity

(activenessity isn't a word, but it should be.)

Hey guys! It most certainly has been a while, so I thought I'd do an update on the past 2 weeks or so (they have been ka-ra-zee!).

First: Fall Break.

It was awesome. Went to Charlotte to stay with my girlfriend and her family for a couple of days and go to chill with friends that I had made here at App that were from the Charlotte area. We visited their old high school to give a presentation on ASU Teaching Fellows, ate Bojangles several times (the one in Boone isn't that good), and sold a kid's Xbox 360. We came back for the band competition that had was occurring on Saturday (most of my friends are in marching band and ASU was putting on a exhibition for the high schools at the end of the competition). We then proceeded to watch the first DVD of Season 1 of House (aka the best show ever!).

Secondly: Black Saturday.

Rocked at The Rock (the nickname of Kidd Brewer Stadium, the football stadium here at ASU). We played Georgia Southern and promptly kicked the butts. Unfortunately, I decided to wear a t-shirt and shorts to the game. Also unfortunate, the weather decided to have a cloud descend on the stadium for the entire game and I promptly froze. Luckily, I got to hang out with a bunch of friends from the camp I worked at this past summer and got to catch up with all of them, so it was a good time.

Thirdly (but not leastly [not a word either]): Political Activenessity.

I might have mentioned my work with To Write Love on Her Arms before (if not, I'll definitely post something about it soon), but there's another non-prof I do some volunteer work and donate to and its called Invisible Children. IC works to stop the longest running war in Africa's war-torn history: the war in N. Uganda between the Ugandan government and the Lord's Resistance Army led by a man by the name of Joseph Kony. Kony has kidnapped thousands of African children to fight in his army to attempt to overthrow the current government in Uganda. IC has done amazing work already, but we can always do more until the war ends. For more info, please feel free to get in touch with me via email or you can always visit www.invisiblechildren.com


Hope you guys are doing awesome! Catch you later, peace.
