DATE

So last week I asked a boy (with whom I have been hangin' regularly) on a date via campus mail note.
And his response:

more problems


there are a lot barriers between me and blog posting these days:
I was away over the weekend and will be away all next week
I don't have internet at home
my computer is doing poorly

I will try to add more in the near future
In the mean time here is a picture of me and the honey alcohol I won

DEAR LORD

This week has been trying. Basically this is the 9th consecutive day of working 8 hours or more per day. I am anxious for school to start because maybe then I'll finally get some rest. Right now I am more tired than I have ever been at the end of a term.

This week has been really great in a lot of ways though. Not On Our Campus went really well, and the discussion after was also really great. I have gotten SO MUCH positive feedback from peer leaders all over the place, both on the professionalism, intensity, and effectiveness of the presentation and the facilitated small group discussions after. That means so much to me and all of the GSCAs. Stand In It With Me, the diversity program, also sparked a lot of really productive conversation among students and peer leaders alike. It was something that the new students are so privileged they get to hear and discuss right off the bat. Frankly a lot of the peer leaders needed it too. There was some really heated discussion and a lot of people were really uncomfortable, which was, in this instance, a really good thing. I feel totally drained, but also really satisfied with this week.

I am considering quitting the Cave. If I can get more hours in the GSC, I want that. I am tired of Richard being a godawful manager and I am tired of working with people who have never worked food service before (no offense Shannon). I just don't want to deal with Richard (as a manager) and really want to spend more time in the GSC with my staff. Side note: Kaaren bought us a new fridge today. We can put all of our fun LGBT food in our fun new LGBT fridge.

Things I plan to post about in the near future:
  • first day of school
  • revamping the GSC library
  • how much I love OIL
  • Thunderheist

baby sized update

OK, Prague news:
1. Actually every building in Prague is beautiful
2. I live right next to one huge park and two blocks from a second huge park
3. I am typing on a czech keyboard. The z and y are switched plus you access the numbers with shift plus other confusing things.
4. For lunch today my host mother (zouzana) made apricot cake and plum cake
5. I am really good at counting in czech, not very good at saying other things
6. This evening I went to a hat fashion show and won a bottle of honey alcohol in a raffle
7. Everything is going pretty great

From Frankfurt Airport

On my previous two flights I saw:
2 epidodes of mad men
Duplicity
I love you man
17 again
One episode of how I met your mother
half an episode of 30 Rock

I also wrote a couple letters and read some of my Paul Newman biography
