So tonight my friend Desirre dragged me to a community service event in the Quad, which is the huge grassy area where most of the main events on campus are held. There is a picture of it all sunny and empty for ya. I still can't remember to take my camera anywhere.
But anyway, the part that caught me off guard was that there were a number of people making shelters out of boxes, and planning on spending the night in them. Reminds me of the Wilderness Survival merit badge in scouts. We sat and listened to a few guest speakers, stood in line for soup and sandwhiches, then spent and hour and a half making blankets. I have to say a few homeless people are going to end up with some interesting color schemes.
I was kinda tempted to stay the night, but tomorrow is Friday and that means I get to sleep in. Also all the boxes had been crafted in elaborate forts already, and I still have memories of sleeping on the ground freezing cold. Maybe some other night, but I doubt it...
