Good morning!

OK, so Thursday was a rush of doing things (like it always is) - but at least I got a lot done. I had tons of fun at work - which always happens - and now I am knitting a 'mobius scarf'' for one of my co-workers since he thought the concept of an infinite 3-D loop with only one side was awesome. It's pretty easy to make - just sew the ends together with a turn in the scarf so that if you lay it flat, it looks like a figure 8. I also got offered a modeling job for this Sunday and invited to a party this Saturday. Jersey and Tony and I are thinking about going to a corn maize Friday (today) night, so this weekend is gonna be packed with awesome and tons of homework!

As for classes, I got out of Inorganic early and ate dinner! Then I got out of Kinetics Lab early and went home before going to my meeting wide awake and NOT BEING THE COMMITTEE HEAD!!!! It was great, even though the new committee head kept looking at me to help him whenever he said "Oh, someone will have to look that up....". But that's his problem and not mine! I've got too much stuff to do anyways!

So, today I was gonna get up at 8am, study, clean, do laundry, etc. As you can guess, that didn't happen - well, I did get out of bed and turn off my alarm clock... But then I fell back asleep until 9:45 am - so laundry will have to be after my council meeting. I still had enough time this morning to take it easy, though, since I only have to start seeing people at noon today.

So here are some updates on my life - I am now the College of Science Honors Representative for this school year!!! (I beat out the only other person running.) I have to work tomorrow from 9am to 6pm, and I think part of it will have to be unpaid since I don't want to break my 20 hours a week limit mandated by the school. I went from not-liking-leeks to liking-leeks in one day (yesterday). I have started most of my homework for this weekend already, and on Wednesday, I ate an entire box of vegan snickerdoodles (well, I shared three of them) that were also gluten-free.

And most importantly - October 1st is Worldwide Vegetarian Day - starting off Veg Awareness Month. So I would absolutely love it if every friend/family member would go vegetarian for October 1st! I think it would be so cool! So please! Don't eat meat, fish, or poultry on October 1st!!

And for those of you who want to go an extra mile, you could pledge to be vegan or vegetarian for another day, a week, or even the whole month!! I'm so excited (since I know so many people) that a large portion of campus might be veg for a day!!!

Here's where I cut out and wish you all a wonderful day!!!



Every meatless meal can help:
• Reduce the risk of major killers such as heart disease, strokes and cancers while cutting exposure
to foodborne pathogens;
• Provide a viable answer to feeding the world’s hungry through more efficient use of grains and other crops;
• Save animals from suffering in factory-farm conditions and from the pain and terror of slaughter;
• Conserve vital but limited freshwater, fertile topsoil and other precious resources;
• Preserve irreplaceable ecosystems such as rainforests and other wildlife habitats;
• Decrease greenhouse gases that are accelerating global warming;
• Mitigate the ever-expanding environmental pollution of animal agriculture.
