The fun continues…

Today was: Walking downtown, smelling doughnuts and hearing a man play a saxophone. It drizzled today but never rained hard. Our first stop was the Corcoran, where we spent most of our time with Jesse’s favorite sculpture (probably favorite piece of art, ever), the “Greek Slave” by Hiram Powers.

Note to Self:

Sigma Tau

By Erin | Published: October 23, 2009
I remember walking into a meeting room in the Student Union at UCF. I think it was the end of my first year of college, if I remember correctly. I was there for another meeting of Sigma Tau Delta, the English honor society. We were to vote on a new executive board. I was the [...]
