Bulletin! Bulletin! Due to the rather interesting and quite severe weather patterns in the Pennsylvania area; the 30 Hour Famine has been delayed until March 6th. This is quite alright by me, as I am just barely avoiding a schedule overload by this change of plans. In fact I'm having a rude awakening from last week (The Week of Rest) when school was canceled (again because of the snow storm).
My life has always been extremely busy but I guess that sometime during the break I forgot about it. (Whoops) I've just gotten off of babysitting four French-speaking children, two of which could not speak a word of English. Needless to say, I feel victorious.
Raising $850 is very hard work I must add. For all of you reading this who are doing the exact same thing I would like to take a moment to personally give you a round of applause. As one who truly knows how exhausting it can be, Good Job. Your awesome.
Thats all for tonight, I need to cram in some geometry homework before drafting a conceptual self portrait for a different class. Bye!
I know that football has little to do with raising money for Haiti and going to the Life Conference/ Missions trip. I also know that I am rather late (two days) on posting this, but I really need to say how awesome the New Orleans Saints are! And I need to comment on how the average word of yesterday was "saints" on the amazingly addicting web site; MyLifeIsAverage. Here is something that I didn't know before; the quarterback, Drew Brees is a Christian. He is a really amazing guy, as you can see from this interview, and one of the best things about him is that he is in no way ashamed of his faith in Jesus Christ. He has awesome things to say; you should listen to him. And without further ado I present to you the interview:
The book Do Hard Things by Alex and Brett Harris: Its a freaking awesome book. One of the things I remember from the book is, surprisingly, about diving. Don't choke up before getting reading to dive, else your dive will fail. Without being too metaphoric and deep, the same thing can apply for fundraising or getting ready for the LIFE 2010 Conference. So, here it goes, I am making this pledge. I am going to get off my lazy butt and start fundraising for Life today. Hold me to this guys, I'm also going to raise half of all that money by March 15th. When I first found out just how much it would cost to go to Life, I was dumbstruck. I bet that you were too. $850 is a lot. Heck, $425 is a lot! But being the procrastination master that I am, I will most likely fail if I don't start soon.
P.S. This marks the first in a series of tips for all students everywhere attending the Life Conference this year:
Tip #1: Don't you dare wait until the last 2 months to start your fundraising! No matter how little progress you feel you are making, it will all be worth it. Trust me.
Superbowl next week.... I'm not going to try to pretend I know anything about football. All of you Saints or Colts fans; I wish you luck cheering for your teams next Sunday. I happen to be a Pittsburgher and therefore a Steelers fan by birth, so I have no clue who to root for! Any suggestions?
