It's Hot!/No Shoes

Whew. It's hot here guys. HOT. Boone's broken a couple of records for high temperature the past week or so. Sunday, the high was 82. Holy cow guys. That just doesn't happen in Boone 98% of the time. It's April! If anything we could have snow (not that I'm encouraging it, but the saying here is "Snow 'til Mother's Day, so don't plant anything"), not 80+ degree weather! And we're loving it! Hanging out on the mall, playing outside, its GREAT. It's raining tonight and tomorrow, but it's clear skies after that! Already made plans to play Quidditch on Saturday (don't know about Collegiate Quidditch? Check out their website: www.collegequidditch.com).

Today is TOMS Shoes One Day Without Shoes Campaign 2010. Across the nation (maybe the world) people are voluntarily not wearing shoes to raise awareness of people in developing and 3rd world countries don't have shoes to wear and end up with very preventable diseases. One thing I do have to say about App students: we are a big fan of doing stuff like this. Not the "not wearing shoes" thing, but awareness campaigns for organizations like TOMS, Invisible Children, To Write Love On Her Arms.
