Hello All,
I was going to bitch about something/get some peoples opinions on a situtation I am in with an organization that I am heavily involved in, but my rule about not talking smack about things/people in my journal so it doesn't come back to bite me in the ass won out. Sorry I am a cocktease.

Instead I have some pics for your viewing pleasure. These are from when I went bowling the other night with my roommates, Jess, Gordon, Nate and Dan (I hope that is Nate's b/f's name). Because I am a narcissist, I only posted the ones that I am in. The pics are Jess'.

Another hot pic with my roommate and I

My hot self and Jess tolerating my hot self

P.S. If you didn't notice, the Chestur A Arthur look is back.

Maybe I will use one of these for my user pic but I am too lazy to trim it down now.

That is all.

that is all

Today and Tomorrow will be my days of organization for the next semester. Up to this point I have been just doing things as they came up. This will not work for the entire semester because I have a lot I want to get done. THis lack of organization has caused me to forget 2 meetings in the past 2 days. Luckily I was able to have the meetings inspite of my forgetfulness. Time to get the ass in gear

Speaking of getting things done. I sent away my first application on Saturday to NYU. Thank you so much to (e:maureen) for turning my personal statement from a huge, rambling, piece of albatross crap to a personal statement that is a changing force. Also a big thank you to everyone else who read it. You all were a great help. Just three more applications to go and then I get to wait. Fun Fun.

Well, I have to go get organized. Talk to you later.

Finally finished my two weeks of insanity in the Campaign Management institute. In those two weeks our 6 person group produced a 160+ page campaign plan for the democrat running for governor in Virginia. I really like the candidate and would volunteer for him etc because a lot of his views are similar to mine. Unfortunately that is a big no no in politics. I think that is ridiculous and will comment on it later as well as tell you more about CMI. It was a great class, but I am still recovering.

Now I have one more week of madness. Classes start. I have to complete two applications for grad school that I have not started yet, and I have to plan a retreat for this friday and get together a vision for my upcoming semester as student director of the leadership program. I just have to get through next Saturday and I will be fine. Until then, bye.

So if you are really bored and/or want to see me on TV, tune into Cspan and/or CSPAN2 these next two weeks. I am taking part in a 2 week intensive course on running a campaign called the campaign management institute. For more info, here is the website It is a pretty neat course and well respected. Because there is absolutely nothing happening in the world of politics right now, cspan broadcasts it. The times vary but it has been on pretty frequently on cspan 2. Here is the link to the schedule . Look for programs from American University, Campaign Management Institute. Sometimes they don't decide that they are going to broadcast it at a particular time until that time so check the sschedule frequently if you want to see it. Or just flip to cspan 2 and see if the speaker is standing in front of a big blue background that says AU. It is a great course for all you political junkies and for those who aren't you can look for me in the audience. I am the scraggly hippie looking one with the long hair and beard.
