The tally is near over 1,000,000 now.Please, please take a minute to "light a candle":www.lighttounite.orgThis really will take just a http://metroblog06jw.blogspot.com/2006/12/this-is-worth-moment-of-your-time.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Unknown)tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29728423.post-116579977787839459Mon, 11 Dec 2006 00:52:00 +00002006-12-10T17:16:17.886-08:00So I've got two down, four to go. Papers to write that is. I'm well on my way to getting through it all. Is it ironic that I'm taking a break from writing papers to write a blog? It's been a great week, despite the feeling of being buried. The Tivoli Planning Committee, a SACAB sub-committee, on which I was lucky enough to serve, met this last Friday. We came to a unanimous decision on which http://metroblog06jw.blogspot.com/2006/12/sunday-sunday-sunday.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Unknown)tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29728423.post-116538448070741327Wed, 06 Dec 2006 05:35:00 +00002006-12-05T21:54:40.716-08:00Quite a few people compliment me for my ability to do all the things that I do with my current allotment of time. I appreciate the support, and it would be much harder, if not impossible, for me to do the things I do without all the support from all the wonderful people in my life (both on and off campus). I'll let you in on the secret of how I seem to be everywhere at once:I procrastinate reallyhttp://metroblog06jw.blogspot.com/2006/12/confession.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Unknown)tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29728423.post-116498560854883160Fri, 01 Dec 2006 14:57:00 +00002006-12-01T07:06:48.563-08:00Yet another week has passed. I can hardly believe that there is only one week of regular classes left. Then, finals and what might possibly be the greatest thing that I can imagine: winter break.All I can think about is what I am going to do to relax after the madness is finished. I have five 10+ page papers to write, and a research assignment to do in one week. I shouldn't complain, though, as Ihttp://metroblog06jw.blogspot.com/2006/12/deal.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Unknown)tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29728423.post-116474422276761351Tue, 28 Nov 2006 21:00:00 +00002006-11-28T12:05:04.666-08:00I myself have been struggling to stay sane, and I saw this recently. Perhaps I just have a childish sense of humor, but this made my day.You watch now:Cheers,Jackhttp://metroblog06jw.blogspot.com/2006/11/if-youre-feeling-down.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Unknown)tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29728423.post-116439466905760199Fri, 24 Nov 2006 18:43:00 +00002006-11-24T11:10:00.236-08:00So it's been 3 months since I last blogged, and that's pretty sad. I'm writing from New York, in Queens, where my sister lives. The family decided to come here for Thanksgiving this year. As expected, Thanksgiving was a spectacular and amazing event. It just so happens to be my favorite holiday of all time. I wanted to take a moment to think about what Thanksgiving really is. I feel awful about http://metroblog06jw.blogspot.com/2006/11/black-friday.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Unknown)tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29728423.post-115643764600142550Thu, 24 Aug 2006 16:25:00 +00002006-08-24T09:54:45.763-07:00I've had a rough start to my semester. I found out last week that my Grandma died. We all knew it was coming. It was really a blessing since she has been in so much pain for so long. Yet, that doesn't make it any easier to let go.I flew out to Ohio this last Sunday, and her Funeral was on Monday. All of my family was there. It was an open casket. Just about everything made me cry.

It's amazing. I'm down off 11th and Pearl, which is so close to school. I won't need to drive hardly ever. The area is beautiful. Most importantly though, it's a 1 bedroom that I have all to myself. I've never lived completely by myself before. I have always been with my parents or roommates. I love them all dearly, but it is so nice to have some privatehttp://metroblog06jw.blogspot.com/2006/08/new-home.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Unknown)tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29728423.post-115386282919677064Tue, 25 Jul 2006 21:17:00 +00002006-07-25T14:28:44.550-07:00I am continually amazed at all the opportunities that I have received from my time at Metro. I never would have believed someone if they had told me three years ago that I would end up where I am today.Tonight I am attending an event for a State Representative. I was introduced to her during my time lobbying at the state capital. She introduced me on the House floor, and has given me so much helphttp://metroblog06jw.blogspot.com/2006/07/tonight-i-party.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Unknown)tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29728423.post-115335633800192040Thu, 20 Jul 2006 00:36:00 +00002006-07-19T17:45:38.010-07:00I wanted to post an update to my story last week, but Blogger hasn't been letting me log on. It was an even more interesting day after the leak.So after dealing with the shower of water in my bedroom, I had to drive to Arvada (Where my folks live) to shower for a meeting that I had at noon. I couldn't miss this meeting because it was with a person that I have been trying to meet with for five http://metroblog06jw.blogspot.com/2006/07/update.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Unknown)tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29728423.post-115271227550117502Wed, 12 Jul 2006 13:43:00 +00002006-07-12T06:51:15.513-07:00I awoke at 4:00 am to the sound of dripping water. I popped out of bed, cleared my things away from the area, and ran upstairs. The hot water handle of a shower on the second floor had completely broken off. There was no way to turn of that part of the shower, so we had to turn off the water to the entire house. I live in an apartment in an old house in Capitol Hill. It was built in the 1800's, http://metroblog06jw.blogspot.com/2006/07/what-morning.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Unknown)tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29728423.post-115220546082109205Thu, 06 Jul 2006 16:52:00 +00002006-07-06T10:04:20.896-07:00I love the weather in Colorado. If it snows, the sun will come out within a day to melt it all, and it feels like summer. If it's really hot for a while, soon to will cool down and rain for a few days. I always heard growing up, "If you don't like the weather in Colorado, wait 15 minutes."The weather is perfect right now. I don't want it to change one bit. The sky is a little overcast.

It's been only seven days since I paused to share a little about my life with you all, but it feels like it has been a month or more. If I talked about EVERYTHING that has gone on, you might lose interest. As I'm sure you know, being busy doesn't necessarily imply that it's all fun and excitement. Here is quite possibly the most interesting thing that happenedhttp://metroblog06jw.blogspot.com/2006/06/month-can-pass-in-seven-days.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Unknown)tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29728423.post-115082950866003010Tue, 20 Jun 2006 18:38:00 +00002006-06-20T22:50:18.503-07:00I know I'm not alone in this, but it seems harder and harder to wake up in the morning. It's summer! I am supposed to be relaxing by a pool, sleeping late, and enjoying not being in classes. Instead I woke up early on Monday to go to an IT committee meeting, followed by a follow-up meeting with some of the Student Government members. Happy Monday!I love what I do, and I wouldn't give up all the http://metroblog06jw.blogspot.com/2006/06/to-pursuit-of-happiness-or-at-least-15.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Unknown)
