I plan on posting in here again some day. This school keeps me crazy busy. I love it yet I'm the most stressed I've been in my life. I've met and heard lectures from all sorts of people, from FBI agents to authors to politicians to filmmakers etc. I got to meet Hillary Clinton, Eric Schlosser(author of Fast Food Nation), Millard Fuller(founder of Habitat for Humanity), Chuck D(of public enemy) and many more. The most exciting ones have probably been the ones that are least recognizable by name to the average person.
In my class of 30 there are such people as Beatire Biira(inspiration for the bestselling children's book Beatrice's Goat and seen on programs like Oprah and 60 minutes). Mikki I'm thinkin maybe you're familiar with it. Also, Spirit Trickey, daughter of MinniJean Brown Trickey, one of the Little Rock Nine(the nine black students who tried to attend Central High in 1957 and became the faces of desegregation). The runner up for Ms Arkansas is also a classmate of mine. A member of the Ugandan Parliament. Etc Etc Etc. It's insane and I'm super lucky to be here.
That being said, I must get back to other thangs. Oh yeah, Jerry Springer is speaking at the school tomorrow. I miss houston like mad. I miss Julie even more. I hope to update this more often because if I don't get my thoughts/feelings out I'm going to go insane. If you're interested in what I'm up to on a regular basis or you're just bored at work and wanting things to look at, check out www.clintonschoolblog.com
