"Never Again President and University of Denver sophomore Joel Portman, left, helps fellow sophomore Javier Ogaz place flags representing deaths in the Holocaust on campus green Sunday, April 27, 2008 in preparation for Holocaust and Genocide Awareness Week taking place April 28th-May 4th. More than two-thousand flags, each representing five-thousand deaths and color coded by demographic groups, were spread out to draw attention to the week long event sponsored by DU Hillel and Never Again!"
After yesterday's blunder I'm back on track with my daily work.
I always love Sunday's because for whatever reason I'm always motivated to get a lot done in preparation for the week. This usually consists of cleaning my room, doing laundry, working on homework, archiving photos from the week and responding to any emails that piled up over the weekend. I was able to get all that done today and I feel ready for the week ahead.
I made it to school about an hour before my group meeting to walk campus looking for features. I headed over to the spring soccer game first but as soon as I got out of my car the game ended. I drove to the other end of campus, parked my car and started walking around hoping to find something out of the ordinary. The weather was nice so there were plenty of students outside. When I walked down toward campus green near the middle of campus I saw a group of students placing colored flags all over the place. It was like shooting fish in a barrel. I made a few images, talked with the group for a few minutes and then walked over to my group meeting.
I was tired of meeting in the business school and it's my last quarter in school so I suggested that we all meet at the new bar/restaurant across the street from DCB. Jordan's Bistro and Pub opened a month or so ago and was started by a few DU grads. Let me tell you that group work over beers and appetizers is much more enjoyable and productive than meetings at school has ever been. We spent a good three hours working on or marketing plan for the capstone class before I headed home.
Still in a good mood and feeling productive I cleaned up my room a little bit, re-organized my closet, loaded the dishwasher and did three loads of laundry. Some people come home from the bar and pass out but my energy translates into productivity.
I have an extremely busy week ahead so I'm going to try and get some sleep but I'll be back tomorrow for the next installment of life from a graduating senior.
