naps are ruining my life!!!
Okay, okay. I am ruining my life by taking naps. Let's take some responsibility here. Nonetheless, I am SUCH a fuck-up this week!!! Bad, bad Rachel..
But something really neat has also happened this week which is making me smile pretty damn often despite the fact that I am a fuck-up. I am helping to organize a Student Anti-Homophobia Leadership Summit here at Columbia for high school kids in the tri-state area. They come and learn how to manage their GSAs and also just other LGBT-related things. We didn't get too many applications by the due date, so I sent an e-mail to someone at GLSEN (Gay Lesbian Straight Education Network) asking her to urge students to come. Know what she did? She sent out our invitation to the entire national student organizing listserve!! I'm still on that list from high school, and imagine my surprise when I opened that e-mail and found the letter I had edited and signed. Pretty damn awesome. Plus, now we have at least 15 more potential applicants. Yay, networking.
Oh man, it is so cold outside. Will it ever end?! I just want to be able to wear skirts and open-toed shoes again.
On that note.... FLORIDA COUNTDOWN: 10 days, baby! (it's currently 68 fucking degrees there!!)
