Last weekend I took my clothes off for the homeless. I know what you’re thinking! But trust me, it was done tastefully because ECHO (Eckerd College Homeless Outreach) threw an underwear party in our very own Triton Pub where students could come and donate their old clothes right off their very own backs, dance, drink, and listen to RAP. Mmm, rap music. My favorite…

In other news, The Ape’s parents are in town, and (so far) I’ve gotten two free meals out of it (The Ape = Aprille = my roommate). We went to Bonefish Grill, a snazzy seafood restaurant AND Fresco’s Waterfront Bistro in downtown St. Pete. I’m not as a big of a mooching roomy as you might think though, because I treated the whole family to Ben and Jerry’s afterwards. Because I’m nice. 

I really should go to bed now though, because I have to wake up early in the morning for Inside Nazi Germany class where a group of students will be debating the following proposition: 

“Explaining the motivation behind the perpetrators of the Holocaust is actually quite simple. Nurtured in an environment of extreme anti-Semitism, most ordinary Germans were convinced that the Jews were either sub-human or an immediate threat to German security. Because of their anti-Semitic background, the great majority of Germans were able to put aside moral scruples fairly easily and, when asked, to become Hitler’s willing executioners.”
