Today Kathryn and I and some Students Against Sweatshops fiends drove to JCPenney to protest their involvement in a back/severence pay dispute at the Rising Sun factory in Kenya. It didn't go that well. We just handed out a few flyers and then when a security guard walked out, looked at our signs, and went back in the building, we all ran away. Atleast I got pancakes out of it, everyone else just left afterwards, but Kathryn made me chocolate chip pancakes! They were delicious. Other than that I read 30 pages of Haroun and the Sea of Stories and took a two hour nap. Now I just have to read the rest of that (77 pages) and The Left Hand of Darkness (370 pages) and two chapters for my non-profit class (52 pages). All by Monday night.
There are some fabulous things on the horizon. My teachers seem to like me, especially my children's lit teacher. I'm happy with my classes now. USAS National conference Impromptu Midwest Regional Conference is sometime soon I think, plus there are other events I'm excited about like the Presidents' Ball, Leadership Summit, and the Yule Ball. In addition, I've been meeting a lot of new people, going to parties, having people over to our house, and getting out of the house a lot more than usual. It seems like things really are sortof falling into place, though that's a scary jinx-y thing to say. But in general, I really feel a lot less crazy than I have in the last eight months or so, which is incredible. It's nice to feel sane sometimes. I rearranged my room and it was very worth it. I like it a lot better now. Sometimes change is good.
