Notes From Spring Break

I can't write about everything. Really, I can't. It's mostly because I'm too long-winded and tangential. The thing is, I do take notes on everything which kind of helps me to decide exactly what to write about. To give you a very vague idea as to what went on over spring break beyond the few bits I've already mentioned, here are the unedited notes I took while I was down there:

Video from 70s – outdated, look it up, wondering how real it is

Millennium goals (look up)

Homeless man/sandwiches – walk, reaction by boys in kitchen

Night walk irish bar – integration and being comfortable w/ who I am as a whole and the way I react to things, not being into program but being more into real life, speaking to homeless/drunks normally

Village of 100, poverty dinner, becky crying

Less frustration about not caring than normal, comfortable with just going along with it

Not knowing songs is why I don’t sing

Not wanting to touch strangers, knot game

Casper, danny s.

Broccoli, cabbage

Riding w/ Barbara, learning about org, program coordinator for fl starting 29 thousand or masters 32 thousand, worrying about making a living/surviving, figures about funding

Sleep schedule, general schedule problems, flexible, sleeping arrangements

Being myself doesn’t feel like I’m being bad like it used to, no guilt

Like 4-H camp which is what I thought of conferences too, cliques form in same way, always safety concerns for me, going off alone

Girl in charge reminds me of sarah s., young married

Interesting to see how young everyone looks to me, no hot dudes, people in charge look my age

No internet, sporadic showers, school/schedule problems

Starbucks girls, giving up things

How does sense of community fit into this? What about me pushing away?

Pooping or lack thereof (constipation)

No soundtrack

Sunburn, feeling drained

Wishing I had friends around, thinking of ben, thinking of zac, used to being mindful of hot dudes but becoming oblivious b/c there are none here

What part did god play?

Wed – going to see casper, crying, sarah’s salary, juicy pony, talking to ben via phone, meeting sara & jesse & chase, fun times, 3am talking to penn state habitat folks

2.5 hours of sleep, crazy tired, two hours of gleaning

Nothing mentioned about come as you are or you don’t have to participate if you don’t want to, I am working for you out of the kindness of my heart and I don’t have to

Citrus wed

Broccoli Thursday

Evaluations – accommodations

Barbara, Becky

Neighborhoods: five points, san marco, downtown

Danny Schmidt @ European Café, keylime cheesecake, nice couple giving restaurant recommendations

Found headband @ St. Andrew’s

the lady in that guy’s office that worked in RVa and know a lady in Culpeper (Brenda)

empty downtown, gay guy bookstore jesus etching, Jacksonville landing, ben phone call

independent businesses vs. Starbucks, Five Guys, Buff. Wild Wings, shopping center vs. city shops

being treated like adults vs. kids – paper said student volunteer and adult volunteer as if you can’t be both

danny’s shaky, beautiful voice, closed eyes, looking up, thought-provoking lyrics, handsome and friendly face and demeanor, soft spoken and caring, signature hat
