KQ and Spring Break

My house, Anders House, is the KQ 2006 champions. We beat our rival honors house Harwood by 10 points. Even more amazing is that with about half of the competition done, we were behind 5oo+ points. It was quite fun to participate in this 26-hour marathon quiz. And it is even better that we have bragging rights over Harwood for the next year.

Also, in a week, I will be going to Slidell, Louisiana to help with the cleanup effort after Hurricane Katrina. I will be at a camp at Lamb of God Lutheran Church with about 100 other college students (about 20 of which are from Iowa State). We will be mucking out houses, which is removing all of the sludge/mud/who knows what out of houses that was left after they were flooded. I hope that this enlightening project will lead to me appreciating what I have even more.

But I have written long enough, and I will try to make a post about Louisiana.
