A New Day
Today is looking slightly better than yesterday, which was slightly better than the day before. I met with my small group to discuss our project, which has morphed from community investing to "social sustainability in ecovillages"--I blinked and the topic had changed. We're meeting again this morning to start the ubiquitous ABCD Analysis, and hopefully we'll have our individual assignments agreed upon before noon.
After the meeting yesterday morning (which took place in Birte and Tomomi's apartment, just one floor below mine--very nice), I did a little frantic laundry, then went into campus intending to watch Baraka but there was a problem with the movie (the problem being, no one managed to find a copy to watch), so we watched Farenheit 911 instead. What a downer. I have mixed feelings about the movie (why do stupid, over-the-top antics when the story speaks so powerfully for itself?), but enjoyed it for what it was--a propoganda piece.
By then it was early evening, and Kevin and I went out for dinner and drinks. We had a lovely chat, in which he graciously allowed me to vent my frustration over the course, and even suggested some constructive responses. He is both brilliant and handsome (and, I hope, reading this), depsite his love of birds.
Jess and I were supposed to go look at another apartment this morning, but she didn't get up in time, so we'll have to reschedule. Now I'm off to campus for my small group meeting.
Weather Watch: Cloudy, but dry.
Mood Watch: Irritated by toothache.
