If anyone is on campus throughout the week try to stop by and check out some of the events that are going on.
In other news Michael Allen has once again come down with some ridiculous random sickness. This week's affliction is an ear infection that has messed up some nerves that control the muscles in the left side of his face causing his face to be temporarily paralyzed. He said it should clear up within a month or so. I know it sounds crazy but it is completely true.
