i spent a good hour talking to basma today. it was nice being able to catch up. we talked a bit about internships as well, and discussed the possibility of me planning and leading an immersion trip. you may recall me mentioning it last fall - actually i'm sure you do remember. if i were to lead a trip it would likely be over spring break and i'd do it through service learning here at csp, rather than doing all the work through the u-ymca.
how sweet would that be? social justice... there are so many options as far as places to go and issues to tackle. i'd need someone to take it on with me... it's pretty much a two person thing; there's a lot of pre-planning involved, not to mention recruitment; there's not much point in leading a trip if there are no people to lead. we were thinking a certain fellow pequot who also happens to be a comm major might be intrigued by the idea. internship credits... travel... nudge nudge. no pressure.
now i'm getting all these ideas in my head of a big group of us going someplace and learning all kinds of things. i know a group from the U went to new york and worked with AIDS clinics and shelters; another group went to LA and learned about gang violence. some people went to mexico, and i know last year there was a possibility of a trip to ireland. and of course new orleans. i know they've been wanting to do a san francisco trip to work with GLBT issues out there. what can i say? i like the idea.
in other news, there is no other news. i still don't know whether or not i'm going home this weekend. i'm almost done with jim's photo display project thingy; i just need to get the key to the case so i can actually put the pictures up. that'll be tomorrow, if susan really does have said key and i manage to catch her in her office. i should probably make labels for 'em too.
tomorrow, tomorrow.
i was laying in bed last night and suddenly remembered that i need to get a passport. i haven't really forgotten so much as it just keeps slipping my mind. for whatever reason i freaked out a bit because i have just over five months before london. which means that 2007 is that close, and the passage of time seems so fast sometimes. we can only be so carefree for so long.
it's august 16. my parents' 15th anniversary is tomorrow. i sent a card yesterday.
also, do you guys realize that today marks 11 months since the theatre disaster? it's been almost a year (clearly). and oh man, the things that were going on in my life at that time. or started going on, or whatever. i had an interesting semester last fall. no regrets, just a lot of stuff that can't really be described. maybe verbally, but... yeah. yep.
all this and more was going through my head at 3:00 this morning. this is the stuff that keeps me awake at night - damn train of thought that just won't quit. i do all my best pondering in the middle of the night. don't we all? that and in the shower. and perhaps drunk. no?
