capital campaign underway

 
Tonight the University kicked off the Capital Campaign to raise a ridiculous amount of funds for the endowment. The evening even had a spectacular display of fireworks. Why doesn't UVA do this every semester?

Picture: This was one of my 250 or so photographs during the evening. More can be found on Flickr. 

rebuilding year....

 
I apologize to those who have complained that I canceled my blog, but actually it was just not online. This is my first entry since being at the World Cup in June. Now, I'm back at UVA and enjoying 4th year although its much harder and busier than life in Dortmund.

About the picture: I took this on the sideline of the UVA-Wyoming Game. I know its the band, but our football team doesn't deserve to be in the photo. UVa Football is officially having a rebuilding year now that we have seen two losses to less than mediocre teams. Hopefully they will show something good next week against UNC...

I will try to update this more often now that my internet connection is up to speed.
