First off I would like to apologize for the general boringness of my blog recently. It has been a busy and chaotic week, as you can see from all of the notes I had to write on my hand (and that wasn’t even HALF of it)
Yesterday in my organic chem lab we ground up gal stones, collected by my professor from the local hospital, in order to obtain data about their cholesterol content. This picture features one of my friends modeling the “we are doing things with biological materials that we don’t want to incorporate into our systems” look that is so very popular in Chamberlain (the science building). As you may be able to tell by my bio, I am very active in the political scene on and off campus
. This year someone started the “Voter Registration Project.” Basically, this project works in conjunction with the city clerk to get as many voters as possible registered at the college for the presidential election BEFORE the election (though Wisconsin does have same-day registration). About 22 of us got deputized yesterday to officially be able to register voters in the Beloit area. I then got elected to the executive bored of the group. We are going to be planning several voter registration drives in-between now and the 2008 election.
The Java Joint is one of the best things about academic side of campus (says the caffeinated coffeeholic). There are a ton of tables and couches down there, as well as a pinball machine; it is a great space to hang out in. Since my time on campus, they have really improved the products served there. We have many organic teas that taste great, and fair trade coffee that is way better then regular cafeteria coffee (though I have an adequate stock of coffee and Italian espresso in my room). This semester the visiting artist (every semester we have a new one, they teach seminar classes and give lectures and things), put a sewing mannequin at the entrance to the Java Joint along with a bunch of art supplies and asked students to contribute to the community project. Since then, I have fondly watched as more and more has been added to the mannequin.
