Sorry

I just wanted to apologize for the lack of posts lately. I am heading to the Clinton Global Initiative University Conference this weekend. Coupled with all the assignments I have due and getting ready to apply for internships my life has been rather hectic. Hopefully I will get back to a more regular schedule beginning next week once the conference is off my agenda.

I am super pumped to be heading down to New Orleans this weekend. I haven't been back that way since I went down to Biloxi after Hurricane Katrina and I am interested to see what has changed since then. We are scheduled to work on a project in the lower ninth ward (the hardest hit area after the levees broke) on a housing project that Brad Pitt has spearheaded. It should be a lot of fun. It looks like there are about 750 or so students from all around the world attending so it will be a lot of fun to see everyone getting their hands dirty and making a difference.

I will try to post one or two updates throughout the conference as it happens. I am not sure, however, whether I will have an internet connection. If I do you will be the first to know what occurs. I am attending a couple of sessions on Poverty Alleviation, along with 2 or 3 keynotes. The Friday is a networking cocktail(I think I will have the mocktails) reception. I am excited to meet so many people with similar hopes. Should be a real enthusiastic weekend.

I also want to share my new logo. I had a graphic designer do one up for me and I am very pleased with the result. I think it reflects my personality a lot in the design and I hope you will like it too. I am having a hard time uploading it but when I figure that out it will be up there soon enough.
