JoJo's Blog- Peek into my Life

TGIF

I can't believe I'm a sophomore at Case and I did not even know their were public computers in
Crawford Hall. It must be because when I usually come here I go straight to the ground floor
since that is where the offices that concern me are. Well it is windy outside and I'm in my
business attire since I'm going to OMA's Unity Banquet. I'm a tad early as usual so I needed some
where warm to spend my 30 minutes waiting for the bus. It was nice finding a computer so close
because I would rather be writing a blog since it is more productive than twiddling my thumbs for
a half an hour.
For lunch today I went to a Community Service Luncheon honoring students that volunteer. Most
of my serive consists of tutoring and activities in the service learning component for my Ethnic
Studies class. I was able to hear form strudents first hand about their Spring Break which were
spent helping out in New Orleans. I had new idea that over 15,000 college students went there
over spring break to lend a hand.
I went of on a tangent as usual but it was a necessary one since stewardship is very important
aspect of life. I believe it gives it meaning. Well Unity Banquet last year was fun since the
Speaker was Nicci Giovanni. She was very entertaining and made it a worthwhile experience. This
year we were looking forward to listening to Judge Mathis. Unfortunately he was in an accident so
he will no longer be able to make it tonight. Jim Chones will be speaking instead. I'll
give you a very brief bio since you might not recall who this person is. He is an ex-basketball
player that played for the Cavaliers, Lakers, and Wolverines. He was also a host of on of those
sport shows. It should still be interesting so I chose to come regardless of the fact that Judge
Mathis wouldn't be there. Next year the governor of Illinois is supposed to be speaking. Rumor
has it that he may posibbly run for president a few elections from now. From what I hear he's an
exceptional human being.
This week has been busy but Thank God it's Fri. because there is so much to look forward to.
Afro-Am is having Spring Bling which will serve as the official after-party for Unity Banquet. It
should be tons of fun since we will be playing Spades and that is practically a tradition that had
come about last year among my friends. Saturday La Alianza will be having a Pre-Fiesta Latina
Dance Party which should also be fun. I have been elected the VP for next year and am quite
excited. Being Secretary of Afro-Am has given me substantial leadership experience. Footloose a
Musical group on campus is also have their spring show this week. They are performing "A
Philadelphia Story." Oh and last night was Case Idol which was hilarious. Their were no official
judges but the ridiculous host made a great substituion. Well there are fraternity/sorority
activites going on as well but it is about that time. So I'm going to be on my merry way but of
course I SHALL RETURN.
