today is an important day, no matter how you think about it. I do not think enough emphasis is put on what happened 7 years ago today. i personally believe we should see those images on a daily basis. so much has changed from then till now and it's not over yet. nor will it ever be.

i have to make this quick cause i have a lot to do in the next couple of hours before class.

some exciting news real quick. apparently UT has a blog website, they sent out an email to all the students for them to put entries in and then they would choose some to have a face to face interview with and then they would choose one. so here is the email i got back:

"Patrick,

Thank you for taking the time to enter the Tennessee Blogger contest, and to enter it with such singular style and verbal grace.

First, the good news—you’ve made it to the next round of consideration for the coveted position of New Tennessee Blogger!

And now the sobering reality—before we can make our final decisions, we need to interview each of our finalists. Technicalities, technicalities.

We’d like to conduct our interviews between September 15-18 (that’s Monday-Thursday of next week). Please respond to this email as soon as possible to let us know when you have “free” time during that four day period, and we will begin the scheduling dance.

Talk to you soon,

Leigh Shoemaker and Cyndi Sweet "

I wrote my entry really fast and wasn't really thinking of what i was writing, so i didnt think i would get a chance. who knows, they may not of had that many entries. lol. oh well, it'll be fun.

school is hectic right now. i'm still studying for the LSAT and what not, and i had a test this morning and a test tomorrow morning. it never ends. and a few more tests between now and the LSAT. i kinda feel like i don't have time for school. just the LSAT. haha.

hope everyone is doing well.
