God Bless America!

God Bless America and everyone in it!  Especially the veterans on this very special Veteran's Day.  In honor of this holiday we are having an exchange themed, America.  It happens to be with Will, TJ, and Trevor's frat.. It should be a good time.  But we need to honor the real veterans (specifically those in my family!)  Today also marks the anniversary of Allison and Pat, I can remember their wedding as if it were yesterday and I don't think it was nearly this warm.. actually I remember being freezing walking to the car but the rest of the festivities were so fun it didn't even matter!  On kind of a different note I literally stepped on a squirrel yesterday (and by now you should be well aware of my intense fear of these little creatures)!  I was running and thought it was a leaf but I screamed when I realized it was one of their tails.. my heart was  pounding intensely for like 10 mins after but it made me run faster so whatever.  I could actually run outside yesterday due to the glorious weather!  It is supposed to end this weekend so this is the last time I'm gonna tell you to go outside and enjoy it.  On an even different note there has been a ridiculous amount of crime here at the U of I.  Tuesday, a girl got sexually assaulted in the shower in her dorm.. we really aren't safe anywhere.  But due to the fact that I don't have any tests this week, I decided to attend an exchange we had this week (first one I have been to almost all semester!)  It was a blast (with Rudy's frat) and the theme was S is for... Here is a little preview of what I dressed up as.. ATTENTION CHAMPAIGN: There will be no need to worry about crime tonight . Moira, Molly, and myself will be patrolling the streets as honorary SafeWalks. We are trained professionals and may or may not be armed so we say to the innocent, have no fear.. but to the criminals we say, don't even try.  SafeWalks is a campus program that will walk you home late at night for those of you that don't know.  I'm going to try to post pictures because we looked pretty legit and we even walked Alyssa home.  One last thing, I started writing for a campus newspaper, The Odyssey.  I kind of steal my blog entries and elaborate but it needs some publicity so tell your friends to read it!  That's pretty much all I have for you folks.  But get ready, Max is going to guest blog in the very near future so get pumped!
