Excellence in Diversity Award Interview

Should you care to witness my ramblings about diversity and the award I received recently, feel free to check it out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ofE50sVUO6I.

WS Midterm!

It's the week before spring break...and that means midterms! Just finished my midterm on "Gender, Religion, and Sexuality." No sweat - the biggest problem is that, thanks to my beloved laptop, I don't know how to write by hand anymore! Two hours of handwriting is taxing. My hand will take an hour to recover. Haha.

Church in the UK

I sent emails via the websites to a Methodist Church and a Unitarian Church in Norwich, asking for information about their services and any housing recommendations they have. Received a response from the Unitarians and they're circulating my housing request in the congregation...haven't heard back from the Methodists. Silly Methodists. :)

"Happy" Lent

In the Christian tradition, we have entered the season of Lent...preparation for Good Friday and Easter with a combination of sorrow and joy.
For others, Passover is close - this is a rare year, since Passover and Good Friday overlap.
Enjoy, for those of you celebrating.

ADS!

My favorite weekend has come to campus. Last Friday and today, I got to speak with 1200 future Spartans and their parents at the Alumni Distinguished Scholarship Weekends. Always a blast to hear about high schoolers' interests and dreams. And encourage them to come to MSU, of course!
