Under Pressure

One problem with having all your friends in all your classes is that all of you will be anxiety ridden at the exact same time. Once this week is over, the cloud of stress should abate.

We're seein' things in a different way

My Dad introduced me to this organization:

In August 2008, Wholesome Wave launched the Market Box Program at the Norwalk Community Health Center (NCHC). Through this program, Wholesome Wave purchases surplus fruits and vegetables from its Westport market, packs the produce into half-bushel boxes, then delivers and sells the boxes at affordable prices to families with little access to fresh food. Each box, a $20-25 value, may be purchased for $6 in Food Stamps or WIC vouchers. The program benefits families that want to purchase fresh produce but do not have the time or economic means to shop at farmers markets. In addition, farmers benefit by having a wholesale outlet for their end-of-day surplus.


Yeah, my dad's pretty awesome.
