Past week

Happy Saturday, everyone!  I hope you are all having fantastic weekends!  I apologize for the lack of posts this week; I've been busy with Ultimate and my African-American History essay.  Ultimate has been great, and the people are so nice!  I'm definitely going to miss them when I go back to the States.  As for my paper-writing, I found my topic to be quite fascinating, so I found it easy to devote a lot of time to it.  I chose the topic, so I decided to write about the Black Panther Party's contributions to the struggle for racial equality.  There were so many excellent quotes in the books I read about the Black Panthers, so I wanted to share my favorite.  "The price of hating other human beings is loving oneself less."  It may seem ironic coming from Eldridge Cleaver, one of the party leaders, but I still love the quote! On Thursday I went and sat on the beach for a while.  Here are a few pictures from my week:

I love the feeling of sand between my toes!
This upcoming Wednesday, I am running a 5K (Race for Life) in Singleton Park with Stephanie and Jessica.  The purpose of the race is to raise money for cancer research, so if you would like to sponsor me, it would be much appreciated!  You can find the link to sponsor here.  Every little bit helps make a difference!  Enjoy the rest of your weekend!  Thanks for reading! :)
