THIS WEEK AT KING'S
September 22-28
WHAT A WEEK.
Not only did I FINALLY get that cuneiform selfie (see above and huge thanks to Samantha Quinn and I’m sorry that your prize was so lame and I hope those cards weren’t empty) but so many people got back to me about the live blog treat from last week! Two super-extra-lucky people will be sharing some homemade guacamole with me this week (don’t worry, we’ll take pictures so you can read about it next week).
This week is going to be a busy one folks. Election speeches, elections, the GM, more elections, and even more. Feeling overwhelmed? Feel like leaving the Union? Go for it, but please come up with a better slogan than “No Thanks”.
Let’s hope for everyone’s sakes that it stops raining like it is right now. Elections are fun and all, but as far as I know the ballots aren’t waterproof soooo…

P.S. 1:30AM UPDATE HOLY COW SO MUCH RAIN I HOPE I DON'T GET WASHED AWAY
