am i still here?
So, I'm squeezing in an entry before I go to camp on Sunday. Mainly because I'm supposed to be working on my last two pieces of curriculum for camp and really, really do not want to do so. So here I am.
Last week, I took a "Summer Intensive" for my Masters program--it's 8 weeks of classes crammed into one week, but it was a lot of fun and so inspirational. It got me to thinking about the fact that, where I used to worry a lot about all of the problems in the world and the fact that I'm just one person who can't possibly even begin to fix them all, I now know really wonderful, dedicated, capable people who have made those problems their passions, and it's SO AWESOME! This is by far the most energetic, inspiring group of people I have ever been around, and I'm really loving it. It's nice to get a break from the corporate world we all have to deal with and see that there's love and good things happening tucked into the world here and there.
So, I'll have a massive final paper/project I have to do in that class, but it's on hold until after camp. I leave Sunday at 8 am to drive to Taos, NM, teach for several days, then will drive back to Denver on Wednesday, be in town for a few days, then leave again at 7 am on Sunday the 31st to teach for another week. I'll be exhausted, but I get to come home for a little while, which makes it less bad than it was going to be before :)
We're down to well under 3 months until the wedding now, which is nice. On the one hand, it means there's a TON (who knew???) of stuff to do, but on the other (more favorite) hand, it means that I'm almost to the point where I can have my freakin life back. I've gotten to the point where I can barely remember what I do for fun when I'm not planning a wedding, and I hate it. I was having fun with the art projects, but now that those are mostly done, not so much. I'm really busy with my school and work (camp), and I want my house and my free time back. I was not built for this kind of thing. I just want to be married to Doug and getting on with my life.
Okay, rant over. Sometime I'll post about my summer intensive and how amazingly cool it was....
Hope everyone is well!
