UMD- Convergence Test

Yesterday, I went up to UMD in lieu of my transfer. It was great! It seems to get better every time I go up there. I drove around stadium drive looking for a parking spot, but then changed plans and decided to explore acres of campus space, I finally saw where the Clarice Smith theater is; grandstanding. I noticed the honors bldgs across the street (hope I get to stay in one). After finding a convenient parking spot on Stadium Dr, I ditched the vehicle and enjoyed the fresh air. All along my destination was the College of Math and Computer Sciences to turn in my LSAMP application. After that event, as it was, I turned in my shot records and proof of insurance at medical, turned in my Portney memorial app at Shoemaker bldg, and checked with financial aid on my money mannnn. Walking 'round half-the-whole campus was cool because the graduation-spectator crowd had not yet arrived in masses and it was around 10 in the morning so the grounds were empty. On my walk in the mall area, for so called good-luck, and not-breaking convention, I rubbed Testudo's nose in front of McKeldin library(I have never initiated a trip in there), then went across the street into Hornbake library to mapquest something (I'm always there), and off I was again: this time off campus exploring the city of College Park (for the first time ever).

The agricultural institute on rt.1 is amazing, went to the dmv up there (or mva, as they call it) to change my address and it's totallly different from VA, longass lines and an even longer wait (or was it just a singular experience?). After that I went to the post office to make it offical and came home, to study for my test. Took the test and felt good about it; an overall good day. Hopefully.

Memorial Day- Joseph's Annual

Yesterday, we celebrated (or rather bemoaned) the one year remembrance for our fallen comrade Joseph Lansana. Joe was like a brother to me, and did a lot to get me from an old broken path to this more secured one I'm in now. Memorial Day weekend has that meaning to us (it coincide with the day he died); as friends and family came and members of the Leoco organization amassed to pay respects. When surrounded in such settings through the air of amicability one always wishes Joe was here to make an enjoyment situation more enjoyable. That may just sum up who he was/is to us.

Meet the Ambassador

{{I wonder how this is done seeing as how I'm not a so much colorful individual. I'm infamous for skipping over minute details and talk about bigger things, in a sense, the difference b/t a journ and a log-b. So the inner workings will not be explored as much as the more obvious will be stated --keepsake?}} With that said, and with no further adieu, here we go: (no well constructed segues either).
I get to meet the Ambassador from Sierra Leone at his house in NW.
Well, I should be a bit lucid with that egg heh? It's not just me, but representatives
from various non-profit organizations from Sierra Leone and I happen to
be in a position to make a liason, so I'll be attending. Maybe it's nothing
but I'm greatful for it and I'm very appreciative. I will be representing the Leone Cooperative Organization aka Leoco. I am currently, the Public relations officer, responsible for Leoco archives and media.
Oh btw, this is my first blog ever!
