What a week!

Hello again!
Since I last wrote, I finished up the first week of classes.  I'm pretty happy with my schedule this 
semester. A lot of reading though! Out of my six classes, I have 3 literature classes, so I always have something to read and write about.

Over the weekend, my girlfriend Megan and I drove down to Pittsburgh to visit the Andy Warhol 
museum.  If you haven't been there, I highly recommend checking it out sometime, even if you aren't 
an art fan.  It's a really interesting place to go and spend an afternoon. It's pretty convenient that Pittsburgh is so close that we can be there in a little over an hour.
Meg and I might go back in March when the UAB goes to visit the museum and the Philips 
conservatory.



That's the cloud room. Easily one of the coolest rooms in the museum.

On Tuesday, there was the poster sale that usually happens once a semester. 
My room was looking pretty bare, so I bought a couple awesome posters for cheap! Also on Tuesday was the Martin Luther King Jr. Series program, Black.White. If you haven't seen the show, it documented two families, one black and one white, that lived together. They also were done in make-up to look like the opposite race. They then went into society to see how the different races were treated. The program on campus was great, as the two fathers on the show came and spoke of their experiences and about race relations.

That's about it for this week. Check back again soon!
