Sustainability is Sexy went really well last night. There was so much interest and at least 5 people swapped clothes (one girl came back twice more!). In the past, we've had at most one person swap. Many people asked when we would be there next. We had a good display, which I think made all the difference. We had the table, a clothing rack with ( Read more... )

My day today: gave blood and went to a movie. Failure to Launch. It was decent. Much better than Date Moive that my sister dragged me to.

Tomorrow I'm off to my grandma's house. She wants us (my sister, mom, and me) to come by and watch South Pacific performed by the local high school. I was just there, like, two weeks ago, but she really wants me ( Read more... )

Apparently there were 10 deaths across Kansas Sunday. The KU campus suffered $6 million worth of damage. Classes were canceled yesterday. What a bang to start off tornado season . . .

What a stormy day. The tornado sirens went off at 8:30 this morning (I was still peacefully asleep), and we all had to go down to the basement. Nothing came of it, though, as always.

I just got back from my Diff EQ exam. Yay! I'm so excited! I think I did really well. I may have missed two points, but that still means that I'll get an A! But, I can't count my chickens before they're hatched (nor should I put all my eggs in the same basket . . .) so I'm just going to say "I think I did moderately well," and leave it at that. So ( Read more... )
