I know the legend of King Arthur from the 12th Century to current times. I know what postmodernism is and how it affects the modern novel. I know what neo-colonialism is and how it works. I have written over thirty papers, read twenty books and the semester is finally at its end. I feel like I should graduate now, but I still have nine more hours until that dream comes true. As far as I am concerned though, this was my last semster. I can do the 200 level English classes I have next semester in my sleep at this point.
I just bought some toys for the kids over at Child's Play and you should, too. It looks like they have about $175,000 and their goal is 300,000. What is Child's Play? Well, it is a bunch of gamers, like myself and my husband, getting together and helping ill children. Last year the guys over at Penny Arcade started it up and raised over $250,000 worth of toys and games for the children at the Seattle Children's hospital. This year they wanted to make it better so they extended it to Children Hospitals all across the US. I have a personal interest in this because I went to the Texas Children's Hospital in Houston, Texas when i was eight, and that is one of the hospitals on the list. Each hospital put together a wish list on Amazon.com that has the toys and games that the kids want for Christmas. The Child's Play link will bring you to all that information. I encourage you to do this. I know what is was like to be in a hospital for weeks on end. Bored and lonely. I was one of the lucky ones, too. I got out. Some of those kids may not get out of the hospital and some have known nothing but hospitals. So stop reading this and go and help a kid, ok? I did all the work for you for christ's sake. Clicky clicky!!!
