This blog should be called "i should be doing homework"

Sometimes I feel like school inconveniently gets in the way of my extracurriculars.
I'm pretty sure that's not how it's supposed to go.
But then I have days like today, that are totally scheduled from 8 am until 10 pm and only 48 minutes of that day was spent in class.

I did learn a lot today though.
I had the amazing opportunity to see Lt. Dan Choi speak in the Union about DADT and his experiences. I've been going to lectures at Ohio State (both in class and just for fun) and Lt. Choi is by far one of the most incredible speakers I have ever seen. He was personal, inspirational, and captivating. Also, his impression of his mom was one of the most hilarious of the week.

Lt. Choi's speech was largely about the experiences he has had since he came out to his family, and his discharge from the armed forces. I can't believe the hot mess that is politics regarding equality, but that's a different topic for a different day.

Today is Columbus Day, but we don't celebrate it at Ohio State, which makes sense.
NOT.
But today is also National Coming Out Day (one month before Veterans' Day), so I would just like to say happy national coming out day.
In honor of those who have come out...or anyone who loves Kathy Griffin....



Here are some other things that have been going on:
