  Sold one book while working at the bookstore today to a girl who is a member of the Wash U. co-op, a group of people living together to promote social responsibility.  Apparently, there’s a whole group of disgruntled people there who are already mobilized to create change, so i’m looking forward to meeting them.

  
  

  Another man came in, did the flip through the book things as most people do.  I told him the book was mine, and he told me he wants me on his radio show!!! Apparently, he does shows on strange things like goth culture, but he said my book is hitting the exact issue he’s been trying to hit w/ his show.  What is it that drives people to rebel?

  
  

  Went to visit a friend at the alumni house, this amazing woman Rita, and met 2 other young alums who are working there.  One bought a book, and they told me about Founders Day, a huge alumni event this Sat., Chirs Matthews from the news program Hardball is the keynote speaker.  Major networking opportunity.  And, this afternoon Rita is being the sweetest most wonderful person in the world, and i’m going to her house to try on some of her son’s suits to wear on Sat., since it’s a formal event, and i didn’t put any formal gear in my backpack.

  
  

  Next Tues., at 4pm, i’m organizing an event for all students back from study abroad to meet me at the bar Blueberry Hill.  I started a tradition (it’s not really a tradition, it was only one day, but it could become one) to do something on a random Tues. afternoon that was purely for enjoyment.  Not for school or work.  So, i decided an afternoon in the pub would be good.  I’ve become friends w/ the guy in charge of the study abroad dept., and he sent an e-mail out to 100+ students, so hopefully a few show up.

  
  

  That’ll do.
