Last weekend was the Relay for Life event. For those fo you who don't know, Relay for Life is a charity that raises money for cancer research. When i first heard that SMU was going to have an event, i was excited because i have been to and supported events like this in the past. Since every fraternity had their own tent, i was more than happy to help set up for the cause.
When we got to our spot, the last tent on the boulevard, i was anxious for the event to start. As we got the grill started up and the food cooking, more and more people started coming in waves to show there support, or even just to have a good time with friends. Everyone was having a good time untill they announced that we would be walking a silent lap around teh boulevard in memory of all those we have lost to cancer. I was very suprised at the amount of people who became very emotional, and I really respected them for it. After the silent lap, everyone went back to having a good time while some people continued to walk for the cause. When the night came to a close, everyone packed up and went their ways. Overall I thought that the Relay for Life was a very positive thing and hopefully we were able to make a contribution to further cancer research.

Your blogs are all really good. You talk about the things that are happening around campus which is good. Your writing style is good but maybe you should try to start conversation with a post that is more realitive to our society as a whole and not just something that realates to SMU students. Over all I really enjoy your blogs because most of them are stuff I think about and talk to my friends about.
