Rattlers for Obama | Ride to the Polls

The Rattlers for Obama are giving students free rides to the Leon County Courthouse all this week between 9 am to 5 pm. The bus shows up on the set every hour to pick up students.

Be sure to have your ID cards and voter registration cards ready (if you have you have one). Everyone above the age of 18 needs to go and vote. Currently Romney is in the lead for the state of Florida.

Early voting takes place in the Leon County Courthouse from 7 am to 7 pm up until November 3rd.

Regular voting starts November 6th from 7 am to 7 pm and is located at the precinct you are registered for. If you are a FAMU student but have not previously registered to vote before attending FAMU, your precinct is probably the Grand Ballroom.

Rattlers for Obama are also looking for volunteers to man information desks on the set. Free pins for those who sign up to volunteer for at least an hour.

A Few Good Supplementary Courses

A good class to take if you can get into it, well two good classes, Statics and Aesthetics. Building Construction Management is also good.

A Good Read

I went to the library the other day and found a good book pertaining to architecture, A Guide to Site and Environmental Planning by Harvey M. Rubestein. If you tend to get overwhelmed and don't know where to start or what to look for when it comes to site analysis and how the surrounding environment relates to your building it is a must read. Also talks about city planning  and is relatable to architecture, landscape architecture, civil engineering and city and site planners. Coupled with How Buildings Work by Edward Allen, it works great.
