Ronald McDonald House pt. 2!

So, today was pretty good. I didn't get home until 2am-ish last night so I slept in until 11am. I hung out in my room most of the day until I had to go to Clark College to round up the troops to go to the Ronald McDonald House. Actually, it went amazing, but there was less interaction with the people there than last time. The girl who I was talking to last weekend wasn't there this time, so I'm hoping she got to go back home to Jersey. That's positive for this situation. I ended up dropping some of the chicken into the dang oven. It was really upsetting, but my team was all over helping me out. It made me feel a lot better about doing something like that. They really helped me out and reassured me that it was an accident and it was okay! 


I dropped by my moms work to just say hi because I miss her. We made a date for next Thursday at 4pm to hang out. The last time I really had much of any time with her was when my head was in the toilet. We did get to talk a little bit about what was going on in Egypt. I've had so many people ask me what was going on over there. It's kind of cool in a way because people are really recognizing me as a person with political knowledge. On the other hand, with that resting on my shoulders, it's my responsibility to do what I think is right and help the Egyptian people in their plight. This is my positive spin on this situation; if I post about this on my blog, people will be less ignorant. If I help in that way, by making people more aware of the situation and why they are doing what they are doing then I feel like I'm helping in the little way that I can. 


Here is a link to BBC Photographs. These are... the less gruesome of the pictures I've seen. The death toll now is over 100 people. Over 100 people have died for something they truly believe in; their human rights and freedom from oppression. Please take a look at the various links on the BBC Webpage about the situation in Egypt. It is important for them to know that the people of America support them in their fight for their basic human rights set forth by the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Thank you for your time, I very much appreciate it.  :]
