Camp
Today was our camp staff meeting about color war and I was named a captain along with Melissa, which should be interesting. We will be the white team. This summer, Hadas is allowing us to come up with our own theme for our team instead of just being assigned a country. I got my fingers crossed for being a the Ghostbusters, but we will just have to wait and see.
Tomorrow I leave for Barney which should be fun. At around 10:30 AM, our campers will eat lunch and then head on a bus with the campers. myself, two girl counselors, four counselors (I think) from Alterman, as well as their campers. The ride up is about an hour or so on a “big yellow taxi” (back to school?). This trip is really one of the big highlights for me and the campers every summer. They get to experience sleep-away camp for a short bit and have the safety of counselors they are already familiar with. Most of the campers that are going with me haven been at camp for a while. Some I have known since they were in Kindergarten, which makes the trip that much more special.
SGA stuff:
To those of you interested in volunteering for Organized Chaos, let me know so I can send you more information. Those who volunteer will be allowed to move in starting at 6 PM on Tuesday, August 18th. Reslife really needs your help with this. It is a really great opportunity to meet students who may be interested in organizations you are in, especially for incoming freshman.
The Election in Iran
For those of you who have been living under a rock, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad won re-election in a contreversial election, beating out Reformist Candidate Mir Hossein Mousavi. Mousavi supporters have hit the streets to protest the election. Over a year ago on another blog, I wrote asking where the power in Iran really was held by President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad or is held by Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. The result of this election will be quite telling of the future of Iran. Khamenei is a supporter of President Ahmadinejad and would hope to keep the first non-cleric president in office for a second term. Iranians must stand for justice and ensure that democracy serves with valid and free elections. The Iranian people deserve to have their voices heard.
Randomness
On the way to work today, I saw the man in the Trans Am and the pipe again. I didn’t get a good luck at him. I wish I had a camera so I could have taken a picture, because it was just as funny this time as it was the first time.
