Did you vote for who I should invite to lunch/dinner at Clyde’s? If not go here to vote!
I went and saw Avatar with my dad…really good movie. I don’t know why I didn’t think I was going to like it. Not the old 3-D that I remembered.
I headed home around 11pm and on my way home I caught the shuttle bus from Rosslyn over to Georgetown. While I was waiting for the shuttle a young guy walked up with a huge bag and asked if the bus was still running. I thought it was…well, I was waiting for it so I really hoped it was. Sure enough, a few minutes later it pulled up.
The bus did come and we got on. We were both stuck on the bus for a while so I decided to give Tim my $10.

We had a few things in common…we both grew up in Central Pennsylvania (about 25 minutes from each other), we both studied in Spain, we both spoke Spanish, we both studied political science…although I ended up changing my major. Tim is studying International Political Economics.
Tim says that when he is not reading or traveling, he is playing on Georgetown’s Ultimate Frisbee team. I have to be honest…I have never played…and probably would be no good at it. I don’t ever recall being very good at Frisbee.
Tim said that he was going to use the money to buy something for his friends…maybe food or drinks…but definitely something for someone else he said. Hopefully he will drop a note and let us know what the fate of my $10 bill was.
By the way, if you want to help a nice guy out…Tim needs something to do for the summer. A summer job or internship. “It would be nice to learn something new” he says. I have his contact info if you have any ideas for him…just post them here.
Year of Giving 
Another great story! Hope he finds a nice job. Timmy looks like a great guy!
So Tim is one of my friends from home, and he told us about this (as far as I can tell) right when he got back to his computer. That was the first I heard of the Year of Giving — three or four days ago — and I’ve been checking it every day since then. It seems pretty awesome!
I’ve also been inspired to give… as a lowly college student, I don’t have much to give, but I did donate a meal to a prospective student at our dining hall who was about to pay $8 for college food…
Also Tim is totally a good guy, but occasionally forgetful. So I’ll try to remember to post what he ends up doing with the $10. Last I heard it was “classy beer” for his friend’s fridge.
Thanks for checking the website out Zack. Glad you have been inspired by the site…that’s what it’s all about. How did the prospective student react? How did it make you feel?
Keep it up!

Don’t you mean “[…]and let us know what the [b]fate[/b] of my $10 bill was,” instead of “what the fait?”
Yep… I fixed it, thanks!
heh heh on that above comments, I thought that it would work with the [b] thingie 😛
