Why?

Why the heck am I starting a blog? I don't need anything else to distract me. Oh well, I bet no one will read this anyway. I'll probably just use it for random thoughts, things I learn. The name will be the theme.

"The university seeks to cultivate in its students not only an appreciation for the great achievements of human beings, but also a disciplined sensibility to the poverty, injustice, and oppression that burden the lives of so many. The aim is to create a sense of human solidarity and concern for the common good that will bear fruit as learning becomes service to justice."

And a new favorite, from Dr. Tom Dooley, "I am only one, but I am one. I cannot do everything, but I can do something. What I can do, I ought to do, and what I ought to do, by the grace of God, I will do."

Snow is amazing on campus. Believe it or not, after three semesters, last night was my first experience sledding on dining hall trays (into the parking lot) and a campus-wide snowball fight. It was awesome.
