Busy Steve.

I wish I'd put in more time to update as things were happening. Now I will be forced to be brief.

Spring break was supposed to be boring. Instead of going home or visiting another university, I stuck around in the apartment. I didn't think anyone would be around. But I ended up visiting some more local friends, spending a day in Cornelia, and eventually I went down to Auburn for the weekend. About a dozen of us in Atlanta wanted to encourage the Auburn/Tuskegee church and hang around and stuff. It was great fun! We shared our faith with random people on the street Friday night, which was pretty interesting (you meet the neatest people!).

On Saturday, a smaller contingency of us drove over to Tuskegee to meet with some of the disciples there. I wasn't aware that it was a historically black school. The whole time I was there, I was one of three white guys...and the other two were guys who came with us. At one point, we decided we'd hop into a "Chat n' Chew," which is basically a party where the various women running for Miss Tuskegee politic and give you food and stuff. I've never been so thoroughly the minority before. There are plenty of times when I'll realize that I'm in a group with no other white peeps, or even a whole room, but this was like high-school prom. It was very jarring for about five minutes before I got used to it.

There was dancing. I danced. I'm not a particularly great dancer, mind you, but at one point my friend Ajax and I were doing the electric slide by ourselves. Like a boss?

I've taken so long to write this that I'm exhausted now. More later.

The electric slide rocks!

It sounds familiar, but I've never read it.

A few nights back I found myself accompanying a friend to an on-campus pub. I'm not the type of fella to go to pubs and bars in general seeing as how I do not partake in the favored collegiate pasttime known as drankin', (maybe that's why zanzi won't commit to being my sugarmomma -- i won't be fun at the nerdy cocktail parties she'll inevitably drag me to..), but one of the first things I noticed was that I was the only black person out of about a seventy people in the bar.


It's something I've gotten used to here.. I mean even now, I'm sitting in the lobby of a law chool building with around 50 people. Two black guys, one black woman. You just sort of get sed to it I guess.
