I saw this article the other, it's fairly interesting.

North Korea claims that it is the only AID's free country in the world. Supposedly, North Korea deported 27 foreigners with AID's.

Now, I honestly doubt there is NO AID's in North Korea. I mean, the chances are nearly slim to none. They don't screen everyone entering the country (borders), so I would find it nearly impossible to make such a statement.

I guess it's kind of like Cuba during the horrible hurricane season of 2004. No Cubans died! The government forced people into trucks with guns, and evacuated the dangerous areas. Interesting eh?

I guess if you live in a small communist nation, you won't get AID's, and you won't die in hurricane. But do you think it's really worth it?

Last night marked the end of my term as the Student Representative on the Board of Education at my school district. I had been going to the meetings once every two weeks (every week during the winter) since September 2002.

They had a little celebration for me, gave me a gift, and had some cake. It was very nice of them. It was so hard to realize that over 2 years had gone by, 29 months. Time does fly. As I told them in my final address, "Years pass like seconds, and seconds pass like years." The board I served on always listened, and always respected my opinion, no matter how long my hair or sideburns were, and no matter how scruffy my beard was. I will enjoy having some more free time, but I actually will miss going. It's almost become a part of me.

I gained a lot of experience, especially when it comes to public speaking. And I learned more a lot of information about my school district, and how a school district operates. I gained a lot of administrative experience as well.

If I hadn't been the Student Representative on the Board, I probably would not have found out about TakingITGlobal. It sounds a little odd, but it is true. As the student rep, I introduced Mike when he came to speak the faculty of my school district about technology. I learned about Mike before introducing him, and on the night of March 12 2003, I discovered TakingITGlobal. I think it was around 1 am, so I didn't have much time to check it out, but I was definitely interested. And when I saw Mike's presentation, I was amazed. And I have been impacted in so many ways since then. It is crazy how things work out.

But anyways, I'll have some free time on Tuesday nights now.
