The Black Student Union (BSU) held their annual talent show/fundraiser for the Boys and Girls Club of America in the CFL. It was a lot of fun and had a huge turnout. There were solo vocal and acoustic acts, but there were also full bands playing alternative and rock music. In between it all, there was humor, information, and good company. Overall, it was a great show.
After that, I went to Marty's where an African hip-hop group was performing. They called themselves the Gokh-Bi System. I really enjoyed what I saw, but I arrived late, meaning I only caught the tail end of it, which was kind of a bummer. There were fewer people there, but everyone was dancing and it looking like each person was enjoying themself.
After that, I went and hung out with a few friends and played with a ferrett named Gambit. It was kind of a late night, which was not good preparation for the following day. I had to work at 7 in the morning, which came too soon.
The rest of Saturday was filled by working on biology lab, some other homework, and being lazy, which is what Saturdays are for, I hear. Saturday night was a little more calm; just a night of conversation with some friends and a mini dance party. I slept like a rock that night, after the sleep depravation of the night before.
Sunday always seems to be the same. I can put off homework no longer. I had to work again, but the evening and into the night were filled with reading.
So that was my weekend, it was short and sweet, but now I am ready for the week. I am actually excited that it is Monday because I really enjoy my pottery class, and that is Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. I have made so many bowls, I do not know what to do with them all. And yet I must make more to complete the assignment. Good gifts, I suppose.
Well, that is all for now. Once again, feel free to post any comments or questions. I think that to do so, one must create an account, which I think is pretty lame, so if you don't want to, but still wish to comment or have a question, go ahead and email me (thomco02@luther.edu) and I would be more than willing to chat with you. Until next time...
Peace,
Collin

Hi, I'm going to be a freshman at Luther next year and I was just reading some of your earlier posts and I noticed that you are involved in politics. I'm interested because this is something I'd like to get very involved in when I'm in college so I was wondering if you have any suggestions about groups or ways to get involved. Thank you!!
Hello, and welcome to Luther. That's great that you are interested in the wonderful world of politics. There are numerous ways to get involved here on campus and in town. Right now, it is very easy, with the election well under way, and you may find some of that as we get even closer to November. There are political groups for each of the two main parties that meet weekly on campus, either of which is open to everyone. There are lecturers and other events that are directly linked to political issues and awareness. There is a political science major, which will obviously get you very deep into the field, and will often open up even more doors including anything from internships at political offices or careers in politics. If direct involvement in polictical groups is not your cup of tea, there are groups that are focused more on the social side of politics, including SEEDS (human rights issues) and ECO (environmental issues), as well as others, here on campus. You can find as much or as little as you would like, and I hope that, whatever you do, you make a positive difference in the world.
