Suprises on SCI campus

Well, maybe I am just too easily entertained, but I think that suprise is all over the S.C.I. campus. The fact that Green Club is growing as a club and growing fast is amazing. Green Club fliers are everywhere. They are giving out green slushies today. They are having an event on saturday. This club that didn't exist last year is becoming one of the major (and best known) clubs on campus. I'm suprised by that.

The biggest suprise I have had this semester was with my interview with Rihab Mousa (whose name I am still having problems spelling). I interviewed here about the Dominican Sisters, and life in and out of Iraq. I was really suprised by what I expected to hear compared to what I heard. I expected a lot of heart strings pulled, and honestly, a pretty sappy interview. Once me and Rihab got to talking, I found out I was wrong. She is a very strong and straight talking woman. She gave me fantastic quotes and kept a strong demeanor the entire time. It spoke volumes about her character, which is much stronger than I expected.

This last part probably shouldn't have suprised me but it did. How easily one source can lead to another. From tlaking to Rihab, I really didn't hav ea whole story. Then she offered to get me in touch with some other Dominican's who are doing more peace keeping missions. I probably shouldn't have been suprised that people will help you out, if you go the right way with it, but I was.

Now, time for the suprise ending.
