Welllllll what am I up to...
Well, ya know, I haven't posted in ages. Other than a fake post by my new housemate Hannah. Well, I guess not all that new, it's been more than a month now. She is pretty awesome people that is working with me on the anarchist discussion series we are putting on.
Oh, thats super awesome big news! It starts one week from today actually. The first week we will be handing out the reading packs (that were JUST finished and are looking AWESOME!) and watching a movie. The screening is of "Un Poquito de Tanta Verdad", and excellent movie about the 2006 uprisings in Oaxaca, Mexico. Then begins a 6 week discussion series meant to expand and deepen people's understanding of what anarchism is, and how anarchist organization can positively impact social movements. (flyer below).
I now spend nearly 40 hours a week at Campus Dining -- god does that suck! I also thought that working this many hours would mean I had spare money lying around...thats untrue, I'm more broke than ever before. What the fuck!?
But, it's all good because I am in the process (or, honestly, about to start the process) of applying for the national USAS job -- domestic coordinator. That will be much better money, that makes me not worry so much about money now. Even if I don't get that job, I don't expect I would have much difficulty getting a job with a union. But, I realize that I would be applying in the election season and probably have to campaign for the democrats which is not exactly my thing.
At the same time, this all hinges on me graduating of course. Which means that I should be working on this 60 page paper about my time in Argentina... of course that hasn't happened either. Or even really started.
Then I really want to start another discussion series about building popular movements for student org's at UB. We'll see about that possibility. Then I want to work on this documentary about UBSAS. We'll see about that.
I think maybe I don't have enough time in the day. I wonder if there is a way to apply for funding (aka. a paycheck) to make this documentary about ubsas..............
