I was reading an article that can be found here. According to this article obesity in America is consistently growing. A third of the nation is currently overweight. Fat activist groups that are trying to change society's image of the body are emerging. These groups believe that fat is not always peoples' faults and they are going to use that idea as their strongest points.

The question on the minds of many people is who is going to lead the way of the future for software? Google or Microsoft . While I personally never knew until recently that google is much more powerful and much bigger than I had ever imagined. The idea of another software company being more powerful that Microsoft is almost unreal to me. However, there may already be companies paving the way ahead of Microsoft. But I personally have always known Microsoft for leading the way as well as many other people I'm sure. I think it will be interesting to see who is more powerful and influential...Microsoft or Google?

First of all I don't know about everyone else but I am so sick of all of this rain. As I was walking around campus this evening with my friend I was freezing. Of course this was probably because I was walking around in shorts, but still it is freezing out. Now, I can handle the cold and I can handle rain. But I am not fond of cold, rain, and wind all together at once. And tonight we have rain wind and the cold.

Being at a single sex school has often been said to be more beneficial for learning than a coed school. Well last week in Newsweek there was an entire article about how beneficial an all womans school is.

Last night Bryn Mawr and Haverford's Muslim Student Association hosted a Bi-Co Ramadan Dinner. I recieved a couple emails about the dinner in which I was told that the food would be catered Indian food, and it sounded like fun so I decided to go. I anticipated that there would be a large number of Muslim students attending considering the type of occasion that it was. What I did not anticipate was how many non-muslim students would attend.

I found this article to be interesting. During the rains of hurricane Rita one group kept the community going. "Christians Tailgate Bar and Grill" remained open during Rita. Most of the other places in the area closed down during the hurricane. Christians kept everyone going during the storm and after the storm with food. The residents of the area who remained there really appreciated Christians dedication.

As we all know Louisiana was hit hard by hurricane Katrina only a short while ago. The city of New Orleans was left in shambles and left the whole state in a state of panic. As if hurricane Katrina, wasnt enough for Louisiana, the state was recently hit again by hurricane Rita. However, and fortunately Rita was no Katrina. After experiencing both, Katrina and Rita, Louisiana is ready to start to be cleaned up and put back together.

do you ever feel like you are the last to know about the latest celeb news, and gossip? Well i know i almost always have no idea about what is going on in hollywood and wiht my favorite tv stars, or least favorite for that matter. So in an attempt to avoid homework i was doing a search on celeb news and i found this rather silly site with little captions on what our favorite selbs are doing or wearing and what not.

So here I am, I just finished some homework and I decided to kind of "surf the web". During my exploration I found a blog pertaining to the disaster that is Hurrican Katrina. It talks about the political aspect of Katrina and how it is being handled. I found it rather interesting to read. link

Hey everyone! This does not really go along with our csem or with any recent polls but I just feel like all of our time has just disappeared. Ever since we arrived for our customs week its been nonstop action. During customs week we had activity after activity with almost no time to ourselves. Then we went right into our class schedule. And all of a sudden I feel like all of my time has just practically evaporated. It is almost overwhelming to see how in one week of going to classes wome of us are so exhausted. Does anyone else feel like all of their time has nearly disappeared?

So here I am writing my first blog, how exciting!! I am the oldest of two children and I havea younger brother. In high school I was always involved in the communities at my school. I did newspaper for a while, and then I also was a part of the sports teams. My high school was a very small school. My graduating class comprised of about 57 students!! Tiny, I know! Sometimes it was great that it was so small and at other times it was anything but great! It was awesome that we all knew each other. Anyways it is really exciting to be in a bit of a bigger community now!
