Really good day

So my day was slightly thrown off in the morning when Mr. "I forget my alarm is on" forgot his alarm was on and left without turning it off.

However because of this I got up and had Atkinson Breakfast - which I am sad to say has changed their potatoes which I used to love - but still holds the best breakfast on campus. (Ab gets a close second - if they only started earlier).

After breakfast I worked for 2-3 hours on leadership stuff and planning a SWOT analysis for the volunteers for the Student Leadership Development Program. A great experience to work with like minded student leaders and to help them build while building on the program.

Then as I was coming back I was invited to see Peter Silverman give a small lecture/seminar on media in the war. It gave me a lot to sit back and think about especially considering the emergency management course that I am in right now. I also met up with Ian who came in from Ottawa, which was awesome!!

After this I went to the Absinthe and ate lunch/dinner and met with a friend and discussed our friends back at home (I miss you guys!!).

I then had a brief meeting with FCSU informing them about SLDP and the Canadian Conference on Student Leadership.

I THEN had a meeting with FREESay which we discussed whether God was obsolete considering modern technologies/truths.

Stopped at the Ab for a bit then came back in to watch a bit of Star Wars.

A very busy day in the life of a University student. I personally think it has been one of the best days while I was here at York, just experiencing so many different things. You will notice one thing though. Not once did I mention that I went to class. I had no classes today and I consider this to be one of my best days here.

I think this goes to show how if you get involved at York that you can truly get such a different experience from University than just going to class. By being so diverse in my studies it allows me to think outside of the "box" and introduce new concepts to people who may not have even thought of things in that way.

My point is, seek it out! Don't just stand idly by while your University years go by. Take advantage of what York or your school has to offer.

Cheers,
