This weekend was Spring Jam, which is spring's version of Homecoming. There were riots. WOAHHHHHH who thought the U could get this crazy!?! Watch this news clip- police showed up and tear gassed people, shot rubber bullets, etc. I wasn't there, no need to worry!! I was at a bar nearby, thankfully :) Well, actually I was sleeping by the time this all happened. crazy people!

Props to the Olden Days
This morning I made Oatmeal Raisin cookies for a potluck we had this afternoon for my Community Organizing class. WHEW. I unfortunately do not own a mixer- so instead use the hand crank mixer that belonged to Grandma Barnes. OH MY GOSH that is a workout. We are talking the hand crank style mixer. See photo below for a rough estimation... Bless those people who didn't have electricity or appliances, it is tough work cranking that thing through cookie dough. They turned out delicious, and I think all the credit goes to the mixer. Oh my. I can only hope someday I will own a mixer. Life would be good.
