stressed and Kozol

Oct 12, 2006 23:48

So, first, One Act Express (which I'm in charge of this year) is starting tomorrow. I'm massively stressed, but I just got this email from Jessie Eting that was really cool, thanking me (and those who did it before me, like Syche) for continuing the tradition. So that was awesome.

What's adding to the stress is I just got home from Mondavi, WAY later than I was expecting. So I didn't have time to talk to anybody like I had hoped to about stuff... well hopefully it'll work out.

Staying late at Mondavi is ok, though, because I got to hear Jonathan Kozol speak, and it may have been one of the most amazing nights of my life. I will explain more later to anyone who cares, but in brief, Kozol has been working for almost 50 years to fight the incredible injustice in public schools. His talk, entitled "Still Seperate, Still unequal" detailed some horrible things, but was also very inspiring.

So I'm going to bed nervous for the immediate future but pumped for my life.
