keep your coins, i want change


so for the past year i guess i've been ranting and raving about change...and i don't really think i've made any sort of impact. i guess i've turned some people on to a couple of my favorite "organizations". maybe you'll find interest in them as well. so, here i go!

this crazy life

so lately life has been one long road trip, with lots of stops, lots of pot holes, and definitely some wrong turns. with the internship almost done things have become very hectic. im leaving for mississippi on saturday with a group of 85 students and leaders. i know that there are some great things to come with that trip. im also leaving on june 8th for springhill, a christian camp where you do all sorts of fun things with kids of different ages. work has been quite overwhelming though. dairy queen is back in business but fortunately i have no plans to go back to south street skatepark. kensington, however, has always been such a great community to be a part of, but since ive started working here my thoughts have changed partially. the people here are great, for the most part, and the pay is terrible but for some reason i still find joy in coming in every morning at 9am and slaving away until 5 (which typically means 8). although since the first week of my internship, august 10th, ive been counting down the days until its over, theres a part of me that is melancholy about the whole situation. ive had some crazy things happen this year, which youll begin to hear about later, but i guess for now im looking ahead and making sure i just take one step at a time.
