This past week, I was a camp counselor for a leadership program. This past week, I learned how to love people. I learned how to hold unprecedented compassion. I learned when it was okay to cry, and that's whenever you feel like you need to. I learned how to give and receive, I learned how to be myself. I learned how to laugh, I learned that ( Read more... )

I saw Miami Vice last night. It was the suck. Okay, well I can see how it could be entertaining, but I think I could've been more productive if I had slept through the movie.

I finally moved into my dorm for the summer! Bexley Hall. Man, what a place. Really different from the big open suites of Burton-Conner, but maybe a bit more social? My entry is actually pretty quiet but tonight, I made cookies and went around and gave them to people I knew (which is actually a majority of the dorm). I think this living ( Read more... )

I'm actually not sure who reads this anymore, but then again, I never really wrote for anyone in particular, so I guess the fact that I've lost audience members shouldn't change anything. This past week started out really slowly, with everybody gone and the constant lingering feeling that something was missing or unfulfilled. But I slowly got ( Read more... )
