Man I love teaching kids. im really excited cause I think ill be the director of the program next semster since Maddy is going to be graduating. Thats gonna be sweet. then in sustainability team were working on getting a victory garden started on campus. its the project Im most excited for and really want to be a part of. We can totally set it up really sweet with benches and stuff and i think it would also be cool to have some informational placards or somethin to teach people about urban agriculture and what were doing. Our dream would be to grow our own food and then be able to sell it at the Local a student run farmers market on campus. Im really getting into agriculture and with my urban ag calss this semseter I dont want to leave it. i think Ill get involved with SAFE society for agriculture and farm ecology. They do a lot of cool workshops of how to do things yourself like make butter, soap, butcher a live animal, and make all types of food. its sweet, its pretty much like learning how to do everything yourself. African drumming is another class i really dont want to leave. its so fun to just rock out with around 100 people and learn african song and dance. I want to make more drum circles now, theyre probably one of my favorite things. I also really really want to learn guitar. This girl named Enai started teaching me a couple things but until i get a guitar its kind of hard to practice. Oh and i got a job! woohoo! i work at the dining commons but its cool cause the work is easy the people are chill and i recieve pretty good pay. My first day i was incharge of taking off the clean dishes from the assembly line-like washer and sort them into their right spots. and if you dont take everything off of the moving conveyer then the dishes hit a bar at the end and the whole washer stops. So i tried to avoid that even challenging myself to go faster. It was pretty fun and i kept laughing cause i kept thinking of I love Lucy when she worked at the chocolate factory and couldnt keep up so she had to eat the chocolates. When it would get packed i would scramble to sort the dishes as fast as i can. I think next time i get to serve food which will be chill. Ive also been really getting into art lately and even bought a sketch book to fill up. Im planning on taking an art class next semester to get better and practice. that will be sweeeeeeet. I also am stoked to take my meditation class again to get back in the practice. My buddhist psychology class has been really interesting but the meditation decal really motivated me to continue my practice. Ahhhhh theres are so many things i want to do but i cant manage to do them all! Im so busy during the week with school, and work and other shit and hanging out with people and partying on the weekends my life feels like its in non-stop motion, but its good. and im ambitious and who knows what ill take on next.
