Toms Shoes

Just a quick post to let you know about this really cool
shoe company called "Toms" that gives a pair of shoes to someone in
need for every pair that you buy from them! There was in event
at school today where you could buy them. I encourage you to
go to this website and check it out and let me know what you think!

It's been a long time


It really had been a long time since I wrote in this blog. I just didn't
think that many people read it so there wasn't much motivation to write, but
that isn't fair to those happy few who enjoy reading this.

School is still great! I am actually in my USEM class right now. It is
a class about the psychology of your family. The teacher's name is
Donald MacDonald and he looks like Santa.
I also have a politics class with a teacher who is half deaf, so he always
has to cup his ears when people speak in class and he always has a funny
look on his face and says "EH?" over again until he understands what you
are trying to say.
My other class is tricky. I can't remember if I signed up for "Design Fundamentals" or "Hug a Tree" because pretty much all the videos we watch are all about recycling and being nice to the environment.

We made up a game this weekend which invloves a soccer ball and the ping pong table.
Basically, you play 'around the world' with the soccer ball and no paddles, BUT you need
to make up a sound effect or a small phrase to say whenever you touch the ball.

Things are going really well so far!

School


Things are still going fabulously! It is a sunny day and my room has the nicest view that overlooks the water and Ballard/ Fremont. I love my classes. They have not been to terribly difficult and that has been a big blessing.

I took a few girls swing dancing on Sunday night and we had an blast. I ended up running into a few people from Tacoma while I was there, too (:
