Thursday

Yesterday one of my friends said she saw me in the school's bulletin. I looked at it. Might as well copy it for memory sake. I asked her not to put 'me' in the bulletin; just the peace conference, but whatever. This is what she covered:

New Campus Group Focuses on Peace

Kelley Glenn, a Political Science major, attended the Student Peace Alliance National Conference 2007, “Our Generation Calls for Peace,” Oct. 19 to 21 in Waltham, Mass. “Over the summer, I joined the Roosevelt Institution Student Think Tank and started the first chapter at Arcadia University, which we call RICA (the Roosevelt Institution of Arcadia University),” Glenn notes. “Students associated with the Roosevelt Institution from another campus have created this National Conference.” The conference speakers included Betty Williams, Arun Gandhi (Mahatma Gandhi's grandson), Trish Jones and Will Spencer.

“I am going because it is necessary for students to care. So often people complain without any intention of creating solutions. This conference will allow student attendees to attend a series of speeches about nonviolence, create some form of solution for current affairs and address the issue of the HR 808 Bill (the House bill to establish a U.S. Department of Peace).”

No one reads this, except my friend, haha. I should write a detailed review of the notes I took and engage people to give me ideas--this is worse than pulling teeth. I think one of my friends blocked emails from me through facebook since she said she would if she got too many.

Success? Not so much. Trying.
