Camp<\/strong><\/p>\n

Today was our camp staff meeting about color war and I was named a captain along with Melissa, which should be interesting.\u00a0 We will be the white team.\u00a0 This summer, Hadas is allowing us to come up with our own theme for our team instead of just being assigned a country.\u00a0 I got my fingers crossed for being a\u00a0 the Ghostbusters, but we will just have to wait and see.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Tomorrow I leave for Barney which should be fun.\u00a0 At around 10:30 AM, our campers will eat lunch and then head on a bus with the campers.\u00a0myself, two girl counselors, four counselors (I think) from Alterman, as well as their campers.\u00a0 The ride up is about an hour or so on a “big yellow taxi” (back to school?).\u00a0 This trip is really one of the big highlights for me and the campers every summer.\u00a0 They get to experience sleep-away camp for a short bit and have the safety of counselors they are already\u00a0familiar with.\u00a0 Most of the campers that are going with me haven been at camp for a while.\u00a0 Some\u00a0I have known since they were in Kindergarten, which makes the trip that much more special.\u00a0<\/p>\n

SGA stuff:<\/strong><\/p>\n

To those of you\u00a0 interested in volunteering for Organized Chaos, let me know so I can send you more information.\u00a0 Those who volunteer will be allowed to move in starting at 6 PM on Tuesday, August 18th.\u00a0 Reslife really needs your help with this.\u00a0 It is a really great opportunity to meet students who may be interested in organizations you are in, especially for incoming freshman.<\/p>\n

The Election in Iran<\/strong><\/p>\n

For those of you who have been living under a rock, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad won re-election in a contreversial election, beating out Reformist Candidate\u00a0Mir Hossein\u00a0Mousavi.\u00a0 Mousavi supporters have hit the streets to protest the election.\u00a0 Over a year ago on another blog, I wrote asking where the power in Iran really\u00a0was held by President\u00a0Mahmoud Ahmadinejad or is held by\u00a0Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.\u00a0 The result of this election will be quite telling of the future of Iran.\u00a0 Khamenei is a supporter of President Ahmadinejad and would hope to keep the first non-cleric president\u00a0in office for a second term.\u00a0 Iranians must stand for justice and ensure that democracy serves with valid and free\u00a0elections.\u00a0 The Iranian people deserve to have their voices heard.<\/p>\n

Randomness<\/strong><\/p>\n

On the way to work today, I saw the man in the Trans Am and the pipe again.\u00a0 I didn’t get a good luck at him.\u00a0 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.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
