Roadies

Last night I got to ride in an van. From California. With 3 Roadies. Invisible Children Roadies.

The Deep South Tour for Invisible Children came through Auburn last night. We had an event on the concourse yesterday where we told people about the situation in Uganda. Once they were made aware, we inflated red balloons tied to bags of sand that we placed all over Cater Lawn. It was so cool to see about 100 balloons on the concourse.

Later that night we had a showing of the documentary about Emmy an HIV/AIDS orphan. I'm not going to lie, it was really hard to watch. All I could think about was the kids I knew in Africa and they are so much like Emmy.

Once the film was over we updated everyone there about the program Schools4Schools and simply chatted with people who wanted to get involved with our Chapter at Auburn. I got to hang out with the Roadies for a good while and they were amazing people.

I asked the girls about internships and they said that if you had a specific skill (like a film major or design) you were more likely to get the internship. They only take 4-8 for a summer so it's a slim chance. The recommended that I call the office in San Diego just to inquire about interning under their designers. Who knows...maybe it will happen.

Regardless, it was cool to meet each of them and hear their story about Invisible Children. They're on the road for 6 weeks and today they are in Atlanta. One of the roadies will be back in the spring. At that point she will have been on the road for a year. Wow.

As for me there isn't much to report here. School is still beating me into the ground but I'm taking the hits pretty well. I'm going to the ACSC Fall Retreat this weekend and I can't tell you how badly I need this. It's going to be so much fun even though not all of my posse will be there. Sadness.

Ah that's enough procrastinating. Also I would like to point out the question that has been asked to me over 103 times this week: "What are you going to do with your life?" Here let me: "I have absolutely no idea. What do you think I should do?"

That's all I've got. As always, thanks for stopping by!
