International Talk Like a Pirate Day

I had a job interview this morning (more on that later), so I couldn't wear my traditional Full Pirate Regalia. I settled for wearing my much-beloved "In touch with my Inner Pirate" t-shirt under a respectable shirt. And now I am off to Cappy's, to hopefully find my friend with the eyepatch (no joke kids, no joke) and do a couple of shots with the fine folks at Cappyoke. And maybe I'll sing a Tracy Chapman song. She's been in my head lately.

ONE Campus Challenge

I'm considering stepping up as a campus leader for this. I'm not sure I should, as I don't want to over-commit and then do a lousy job. And since I'm not sure what kind of work schedule I'll have this semester, I'm really not sure about the time commitment.

On the other hand, it's something I feel passionate about, and even a small presence on campus would be better than nothing. Plus, it would be a reason to be on main campus on a regular basis, and that would be no bad thing.

A link, for the curious.

UPDATE: I now have a job, and the hours are flexible, which means more time for ONE. I actually tried to sign up as campus leader tonight, but there's something wrong with their webform - it kept telling me a field was missing, which was patently untrue. Sigh. I'll have to try again next week.
