Balloons, Peanuts, Jazz, and Sound Cloud

2nd weekend of selling peanuts for the Kiwanis but also made balloon animals for the kids.  Pretty good times.  Still much to learn in terms of making art with balloons.

Helped out at the  U City Jazz Festival with KDHX.  Overall a good event for it's second year.  Lots of jazz to be had there and giving out stickers.  Just needed a few more food vendors and lights at sunset.

Also can't forget to listen to Sound Cloud.  You should listen to the KDHX Sound Cloud Page.  Lots of hardworking people uploading 25 years worth of live performances recorded at the KDHX studio/station.

I'm up to 275.5 hours of volunteering.  It's not about numbers but still interesting number.

Weather: It sucks sometimes.

Yet another night of an event that got rained out.  The Shiloh, Illinois Homecoming is tonight (9/7/2012) and tomorrow (9/8/2012).  Luckily only tonight is forecasted for some rain.  That's the way it goes sometimes.  Much like boomerangs, you can do everything perfect and something out of your control with throw you off.

Still have the O'Fallon Kiwanis and American Red Cross blood drive tomorrow as well as the Shiloh Homecoming for tomorrow.  Can't quite give blood this time around because of some poison sumac.  It sucks.  Still can help out with setup and tearing down and maybe a bit of studying for my midterm.

I found that the medicated body powder (Gold Bond has a version but I got the generic stuff) is good stuff for the oozing that you get with the poison sumac.  Seemed like it was oozing for a while.  A good cleaning and dusting of the powder and it just stopped right up.  Still have the itchies though and that totally sucks.  I have been using some of the Cortisone 10 for those and it's been helping for a little while.

Midterm wise, it's a basic finance class.  Interesting stuff.  Covers corporate finance and touches a  very little bit of accounting.  Pretty straight forward and covering the important topics.  Feel overall pretty confidant with it, except for maybe the essay questions but a little more reading should help out.

That's whats going on tonight.  Lots of volunteering tomorrow.
