Lunch with the U of M President and Regents

I attended a Luncheon with the University of Minnesota President Robert Bruininks and the Board of Regents. The lunch was for the higher up people at the U to meet some student leaders and vice versa. We had an amazing lunch and I got to listen in on a conversation between some of the Regents about the economy and how it affects colleges. Very cool. I also got to personally speak with President Bruininks. I learned that he has been involved with disability issues in the past. Perhaps I might be able to persuade him to visit the Disabled Student Cultural Center?

My pain level has been increasing lately. Please pray that my pain will someday be resolved.

Videophone

I finally got a videophone in my dorm room. It wa quite a struggle. When Tim arrived to help me set it up, things were just not goig our way. I needed so much more cables then originally thought because my T.V. is so old. When my VP started to work my internet on my laptop stp working. To make a long story short, I now have a videophone and internet thanks to Tim.

I also had a dyad (meeting) with Nick from Leaderquest. We went bowling and played some card games. I had a very good time. Thanks Nick!

Tomorrow is my Public Health exam. Hopefully it goes well.

My pain was down to a 4 today. I am quite happy about that. I hope someday it will hit 0.
