I know everyone missed me. That’s why there were no messages on my home phone when I got in.
Bastards.
This weekend turned enjoyable actually. Far more than I thought. In fact…I enjoyed it. Alot. I really like the rest of the NJPIRG Campus Organizers. We have such a ton of fun together. Regan, Jesse, Melliot and I all decided it would be best to bond sleeping in the same bed, so pushing the bunks together seemed like a smart idea. Lauren and Richarra joined in for a bit the first night, and a good time was had by all.
The “fun” activities weren’t forced on us, which I really enjoy. So I got to relax, have yet another heated discussion with Gretchen. Seriously, we don’t agree on anything at all, and it’s really awesome. This weekend’s discussion focused around television, and how I think that it helps to disengage us from society and I think that people need to realize this. Don’t stop watching, but realize what it’s doing to you. Anyways….
Overall, a good time was had. I got to do the first half of my mid-semester evaluation with Sarah Bennett. Good fun. I aired my grievances, got some stuff fixed, and realized that I have alot to say. I also tend to say things that others think are overly negative. Which they may be. But more importantly, they are critical. And I think that you should always be critical of that which you are a part of. So I generally don’t dwell on those aspects of my job that I love. It’s not very fun to sit around and talk about things that I enjoy. It’s not very constructive. However, talking about the things that I don’t like help me to think of ways to fix it. And it’s come through during the job. So whatever. I’ll continue to be myself, but I think around some people I’ll tone it down a bit. Woo for me.
One thing that’s weird is that the people here at NJPIRG have a lot of faith in me. Seriously. It’s weird. A little unnerving at times, but I think I hold up well. I stick my finger in my nose and distract everyone. Very mature, but I don’t like the attention.
Anyways, I’m at home now. So it’s time to relax, and probably make some phone calls and emails.
