This weekend I was such a hippie. I slept outside and painted and didn't wear shoes and braided hair. love. It was great. I had so much fun working for the good of the kids in Uganda. I am sad I won't get to go to lobby days. For everyone who has no idea what I'm talking about:
The Rescue was an event with Invisible Children in 100 cities in 10 different countries. The gist is abduct yourself to help free those who are being abducted by the LRA-- the rebel army in Uganda. So we walked 2 miles carrying all of our things on our backs and then we slept in the place where we waited to be rescued. To be rescued we had to get media and a mogul-- local cultural figure, preferably politician. While we waited we wrote letters to senators (which, turns out, they have to read by law) to tell them that this issue is important to us. Those letters will be hand delivered in June when representatives go to Washington DC to raise awareness and get something done.
So for my part, I camped out at the capitol and got my hippie on. :)
Car: 3 days.
Last day of finals: 23 days.

Life= great.
Now if only I could get motivated to read for Christian Doctrines. mehhh.
