Today is the third day I’ve had a sore throat. It’s weird because I’ve never really had a sore throat before! Hopefully it is gone by tomorrow. I’ve been drinking tea from Starbucks with honey so I’m sure it’ll go away soon. I also heard that gargling salt water helps too but I think I’ll pass!

Despite my life-threatning illness, I am excited because this week is free speech week and the Collegian has set up a stand in Starbucks to raise awareness of the freedom of speech and to talk about its importance. Hopefully I can find time to sit at the table to help.  The Collegian staff even made a video demonstrating the importance of the freedom of speech and press. I can’t wait to see the finished product!

Here’s the PSA for last year’s free speech week.
