Recap!

Sex Out Loud was a huge success, and I am eternally happy that my feminists got so into it as they did. It sure did create an atmosphere of discussion, as the participants were visiting each other's displays and talking to each other. (Although I am still curious as to what the legal and the Focus guy were arguing about, before Ross came in and calmed them down.) Everyone loved the Post Secret project the Office of Women's Programs set up, and Pure Romance and Illini Arcade made sure to spice things up with their free giveaways! PRIDE and MASV generated a ton of interest with their recent events, and everybody was psyched that NARAL came all the way from Chicago to talk about being pro-choice. (If I had a penny for every time someone said, "Ohmygod, you got NARAL to come?? That's so cool!," I could build a women's center for my campus and fully staff it!) The feminists were outside screaming, "Sex out Loud! Get wild, get crazy, get educated!" and inside selling merch. I think we got a couple hundred people to come, because many of the groups that were doing petitions proudly told me that they got over a hundred signatures.

I have an internship for the summer, and better yet, it's in something I have an affinity for. When I interviewed for it, I asked the woman in charge of hiring when I would know if I had it. She just gave me a weird look and said, "Alex, we usually don't turn down undergrads with your credentials. If you want it, it's yours." Of course I wanted it. So the internship is mine, and I am home for the summer helping my clients and doing legal training.

Thursday is the multicultural committee, and Friday is the Joan Jett/Cheap Trick concert. I am so on top of the world right now.
