Default went to Habitat project with LGBT group

My school has this Habitat for Humanity fundraiser where all the different extra-curricular groups build a shed in the middle of the main campus, then have people in them all week collecting money. Anyway, I found out from the GSA/LGBT group email that they were building this morning and went out to help. They're partnered with the Presbyterian campus group (as they have in past years), so wasn't even a big deal if someone didn't want to be out. Didn't really matter, just a lot of very nice people working for a great cause, we had a blast. Though, I guess now I'm out to about a dozen people I didn't know before!

Oh, and 4 of us were there at the crack of dawn and built the biggest and best shed within 2 hours. Have to keep up the winning streak!

Also found out when the LGBT group meets, so will have to stop by there.
