| I have moved. Since I have friends here and at LiveJournal, I
decided to go to Blogger and set up shop. Come visit me at http://emergingthunk.blogspot.com.

| Aids in Africa
I was given this book by a team of students from the University of Louisiana-Lafayette. It is a disturbing book.
Read it and weep for the people of the African continent. |

| Closet Blogger Cross-Poster
I am a coss-poster. I don't know if there is a support group for this or not. I post on Xanga because that is where many of my North Texas xa tribes post. I post on Live Journal because that is where the aggie xa tribe posts. And, I post on blogger because it feels rebellious to post there since no one I personally know posts there.
So, I spend time each day cutting and pasting. I am waiting to see what kind of personality develops for each blog - maybe Live Journal being pastoral, xanga being communal, and Blogger being my rant. Or some such mix.
So how do you handle being a cross-poster. Each is a part of who I am. Why does my blog world have to be as complex as my real world. I only show part of me to certain groups, and if those groups ever got together they may not recognize me from the others descriptions.
Well, I am out of the closet at least. Now I am looking for a 12-step Cross-Poster recovery program. |

| TAMU I-Week
 This is the 25th Anniversary of I-Week (International Week) at Texas A&M. On Monday and Tuesday there were booths representing about 20 countries. The different student organizations representing these countries did a great job.Wednesday night was the I-Buffet. This is always a great time. I went with some of the staff and students from XAWF and ate to my hearts content (gluttony in the name of international relations).
Friday is the Talent Show and Dress Parade (which I will miss because of our Friday night tribe gathering).
The thing I don't understand is why more people don't get involved in this. The attendance at the buffet seemed significantly smaller than before. The price was a bargain for all the food you got to taste, and the people involved really out did themselves.
But why not take advantage of it? Why would you go to school in the middle of such incredible cultural diversity and not experience it?
I don't get it. I don't suppose I ever will. |
