Day 313: Sorries of the Past

 

November 9th, 2011Today, a great boardgame was played which reminded me of my past: Sorry! I was first introduced to the game by a friend named Joshua Jaramillo. He, and my sisters, would all play this engaging, exciting game. Eventually, he moved away, and my siblings and I decided to reinvest in the process of playing it. It remains the only boardgame I have ever played with my parents. Who would have thought?!

I went to work this morning where I printed out a massive amount of things before heading straight to the WTCC Meeting. Disneyland is slowly encroaching as me, Sammy, Bee-John, Nick, Gavin, and Matt chowed down on some delicious Julian pie Sammy brought back for all of us. I met up with Geetha for a bit as we took a stroll down to Earl’s where she bought me not only hot cheetos, but a delicious can of gatorade. NOM NOM for that lunch. Being in Warren gave me some sense of nostalgia as I saw Lauren Swan, and Leah Rhodes while there. I went to class afterwards where the TA’s redistributed back all our tests. Standing behind her, I could see virtually everybody in the class getting the same letter grade: an A. Thank you Magagna! After talking to Tiffany Saw at the ATM’s, I eventually ran to library walk where I would table with Paul for a couple hours. We had a strange argument with some really crazy lady, before this really intellectual guy came to debate us about both Iran as well as abortion. Geetha joined me afterwards as we put the Ron Paul stuff away in the locker. I then proceeded to Geisel with her where we studied for a bit. Bee-John bothered us to the point where we had to leave, ultimately going to TapEx for dinner. I didn’t eat, so Geetha brought me frozen yogurt, before I realized there was a free food ACCB event coming up. We all proceeded to the Zone where we got some delicious Costco pizza while simultaneously playing Sorry! It was fun, but Geetha had to leave before we finished. Tyler, Bee-John and I played a quick game of Scattergories where I ultimately lost. Me and Bee-John then went to a fun YAL meeting where we coordinated rides for this weekend’s conference. I went back to Geisel to study, went to Price Center to study, where Thomas ran into me and asked me questions about ChingChongLingLongTingTong I didn’t know. I went to Geetha’s place afterwards to finalize my studying.

On this day in 1938, in an event that would foreshadow the Holocaust, German Nazis launch a campaign of terror against Jewish people and their homes and businesses in Germany and Austria. The violence, which continued through November 10 and was later dubbed “Kristallnacht,” or “Night of Broken Glass,” after the countless smashed windows of Jewish-owned establishments, left approximately 100 Jews dead, 7,500 Jewish businesses damaged and hundreds of synagogues, homes, schools and graveyards vandalized. An estimated 30,000 Jewish men were arrested, many of whom were then sent to concentration camps for several months; they were released when they promised to leave Germany. Kristallnacht represented a dramatic escalation of the campaign started by Adolf Hitler in 1933 when he became chancellor to purge Germany of its Jewish population. OUCH…

BAHAHHAHA FAIL.
