When do I ever update? Oh, yea! ...when I'm so tired that I can't muster the energy to write a paper (which is why I decide to devote more energy to blogging) and when I have something due in a couple hours. Quite accurate to explain my situation tonight. Besides that, sorry I haven't updated in awhile. Spring Break was last week and I literally slept for three days straight at Swat, worked for two days and then hopped off to New Orleans. I think break has made me even more tired because I haven't been functioning this whole week! But anyway, the highlight of my break was attending the Clinton Global Initiative University conference for undergrads and graduate students who made a commitment to action. This commitment could be to start a recycling program, tackle international development by ensuring that people get fresh water delivered to their villages, etc. There was a great diversity of commitments made by the attendees. For me, I represented the Village Education Project, the non-profit I work for at Swat. We committed to expanding our education and advocacy to include educating students in the greater Philadelphia region about global education and hosting a global education week here on campus to unite social justice groups. It was just AMAZING! The level of energy, the mere concentration of intelligent minds was mind-blowing. Everyone was willing to share information about their projects and it just inspired me so much to kno w that other situations are out there working with the world just as the Village Education Project does. :) I even got to see Bill Clinton speak! Let me just say that he is quite an inspirational speaker at times and I really respect him for creating this wonderful organization. The website which you should check out is www.cgiu.org
As soon as I got back, we started playing assassins. THe thing is, I' m really paranoid because I keep thinking that people walking alongside me are going to attack me. It's this game where we are assigned someone else and we must catch their butts in order to win.
I'm so tired that I'm going to write more later!
