It has been quite hectic in the life of Collin. This weekend I had several things going on and they all seemed to fall at conflicting times.
First:
The platform committee met on Saturday. (I mentioned this last entry, if you have no idea what I am speaking of) It was pretty interesting. I know some people get very bored with politics, but I am kind of intrigued by it all. We all sat in a room, divided into groups based on varying topics of proposals people submitted for the Democratic platform, and made small adjustments so they were clear and concise. I started out at the environmental/agricultural group, but had to move to the economy/taxation group (I know, fun). However, the work at the economy/taxation group went really quickly because all the proposals were very similar to each other and little revision took place.
Second:
My place of work, the Oneota Foo Co-op, is currently moving from one building to the next. It is a huge job, but it is going to be quite nice when it opens up. For this reason, I have been spending a bit of time there, helping with all the tasks that must get done before the grand opening (Tuesday). I urge everyone to stop by when it reopens and get some organic quinoa or fantastic, homemade deli items, I guarantee that it will be tasty.
Third:
As if these engagements weren't enough for one weekend, my rotation for work at the rock wall fell on this weekend, so I was scheduled to work at that job both Saturday and Sunday. Not only that, but a group of 15 4-H girls came on Sunday to climb, but they arrived an hour before we opened, so I had an extended shift.
Finally:
To top it all off, I had my KWLC radio show squeezed in the mix. It was only an hour, but it fell at the exact time I wished it hadn't.
Oh well, I am not complaining. I got everything done, I am still alive, and I feel healthy. It was fast-paced, but I enjoyed it. I hope you all had a nice weekend, too, but maybe a little more relaxing. Until we meet again (through this electronic wonderland)...
Peace,
Collin
p.s. I have a challenge for everyone out there. If you exist, and if you read this blog, post a comment. You can tell me a joke, just say hi, or whatever you would like. Ask me a question so I can make this more personal. I want to have some interaction here. Plus, I am running out of good jokes, and everyone is getting tired of my repeats.

Hi Collin-
I'm probably not the intended audience for your blog, but I just wanted to let you know that people are reading it and you are doing a great job! I am the mom of Luther students (also freshmen) and it is great to read the blogs of the freshmen to get an idea what life on campus is like for a variety of people. Your life sounds busy but interesting and fun. It's great to hear all about your experiences with politics. So, as far as I'm concerned, just keep up with exactly what you are doing-- giving us an idea of what life is like for you! Thanks!
Hi! I am going to be a student at Luther in the fall of 2008 and have read your blog for a couple of weeks now....its really helpful! and funny! I love hearing about on campus activities and your schoolwork. How do you do it all? Also, where are you from? I can tell by your writing style that perhaps you are not from the US?? anyhoo...my jokes are pretty bad but...this is what I have...so two pretzels were walking down the street....and one was a-salt-ed....ha ha ha...I hope you get that one :D
Keep the blog going, its great!

Hey Collin - this comment is even more left-field than the previous ones. I stumbled across your post because I'm interested in how bloggers invite readers to ask questions, and how they respond. I wasn't happy with how that process worked on my own blog, so I built a little widget that invites readers to ask questions (in a Spam-proof way) and "automagically" turns their questions and your answers into blog posts. If that sounds useful, please check out Askablogr.com - it's still just a prototype, but I'd love it if you'd try it out and pass along any feedback you might have. Thanks!
