Reallocating Priorities

Monday, March 29th, 2004 | Author: James

Well, after some thought, I've resigned from the CCGLA Board of Directors last night. I figured it was time to move on, as a lot of the issues that were causing me to dislike the organization was becoming too unbearable, and I decided it just wasn't worth it. I'm staying on as president of the Collin Equality Foundation, and will spend my energies on this.

It's obviously got people thinking, so I'll see how that pans out.

Houston — *cough*

Monday, March 29th, 2004 | Author: James

Well I've just got back from the State Convention of the Texas Junior College Student Government Association (*gasp*), which was in Houston. CCCCD was there with two reps and our advisor, and we came home as the president school for the region. This is great news for CCCCD, and will keep me focused on regional/state student advocacy issues.

I was really excited by the conference and the energy that the new state executive board will bring to the organization. I think the new president school will firmly put students in the face of Tx legislators.

The real suprise of the weekend was the other student representative who came down with me. I was guilty of doing what I criticize others of, and that is pre-judging someone. I was taken aback by a bumper sticker on this guy's car, and assumed all the wrong things. What an a** I was on that one. I think we hit it off really well, and I found myself being very open with him - which suprised even me. He is keen on taking a more active role with the SGA at the college, and I am over the moon on that. Finally, someone who seems to be passionate about things other than college activities for students.

As for Houston, what a dirty city. I've developed this annoying cough, and I'm sure it's allergy or pollution related. I can only hope that I get over this real soon. Sad to say that Dallas is very clean compared to what I was exposed to in Houston. I guess I'll have to give it another chance when I go visit some friends down that way over summer.

Doh!

Well after a hectic day of doing things, we didn't make it to the reception. I felt bad, but we ended up not planning our day very well. We are planning to go to a friends colorguard performance later tonight, so decided that we would not really want to drive downtown twice. I'm looking forward to watching the show tonight.

Immigration Equality

Saturday, March 20th, 2004 | Author: James

Well today Chris and I are going to an Immigration Equality reception here in Dallas. Hope to meet up with some other couples who go through the same issues that we are planning on going through. It would be nice to have the PPIA go through this year… but with it being an election year, I doubt that will happen.

Where did my spring break go?

Friday, March 19th, 2004 | Author: James

I can't believe it's already Friday. I don't think I actually got to enjoy this spring break. I didn't get half the stuff I wanted to get done finished, and yet I was busy as all heck. What gives?

I guess I was productive a little. I did update the Student Government site … finally.
