Greatest hits...again!!!

The following post comes from march of this year. I had just finished up winter term and gotten involved in Rock with Barack. Enjoy!

Term is finally over. The last few weeks I have been busy studying for finals. It was very stressful because I had two finals on Saturday and one on Sunday. In fact on Saturday night, I actually did not sleep at all; I pulled my first all nighter at college. My finals were fairly difficult, especially my linguistics final, and my Chinese history and culture one. I do know however that I got an A on my Chinese Language final. At the very least, I am done.

I am looking forward to having a couple of weeks off from school. For spring break, I will be traveling down to New Orleans to do relief work. We will gut houses mostly, though we will do other work, too. There are so many students from Dartmouth going down! I am heartened to see so many people care. I will be sure to let you know my reflections on the trip when I get back.

I have been very busy these past few weeks working as deputy director of rock with barack, a grassroots organization. We are contacting college democrat chapters across the United States. In addition, we have an online petition campaign to get Tom Vilsack, the former Governor of Iowa to endorse Obama. You can sign here: http://www.petitiononline.

When I get back to campus in a couple of weeks, I have much to look forward to. I am taking three classes: age of the American Revolution, a women and gender studies class or a class on Martin Luther King, and a Chinese Language class. If nothing else, the weather in spring will be much better!
