Community Service

Today, September 29th, I went to a local food bank to contribute my time for the betterment of society. The work was not fun, and was extremely tedious.

It was worth giving my time to help out those who are poor and hungry. I did not realize how stocked a warehouse could be with donated food.

The project was not too appealing to me, as i was running on 4 hours of sleep. As a sleep deprived college student, I'm going to take a nap and catch up on my rest.

Adios

First Assignment - Listen to the NY Times

http://podcasts.nytimes.com//podcasts/2007/09/17/17frontpage-p.mp3

Today, the New York Times summarization stated that there might be some controversy to President Bush's next appointment to Attorney General. Bush needs to pick someone who can fulfill the duties of the position instead of picking out his buddies. A leader can only be as good as the people around him, influencing his everyday decisions. If the president chose the most qualified people for the positions in the cabinet, then the president's job becomes easier. If Bush would have picked the most qualified people, then many of the problems America is faced today would be non-existent. Gonzales may have seemed like a good choice to many, but he could not deal with all the difficulties one has in government and could not explain his actions. Lets hope for America's sake that an intelligent, overqualified superhuman is appointed as the new Attorney General.

As for now.. its 2:23 in the am and I'm exhausted.
