Hello from the Marlboro College computer lab. I am at work. I am a lab monitor. These means that for 8 hours a week I work on my Plan in the computer lab instead of in my office. It's pretty good because I have to sit here, whereas in my office I could get up and do something else. But, in general, when I am in here I work on my Plan. Which is good because it's getting to be that time (NOVEMBER) and one had best get one's butt in gear. My butt is in like second or third gear and I really need to kick it up a notch. It might be time to... work more.

Speaking of work, Kate called off seminar today on account of it was tee shirt weather, so I spent the afternoon driving around making pin hole pictures. I am SUPER pleased with the results I got. The camera and I communicate very well. I got a couple of very sweet pictures, and I'm proud to say that in general my exposures were really on. It was really just a wonderful way to pass the afternoon. I will scan my pictures soon. I am applying for senior funds to buy some type 55 polaroid film. Marlboro RULES.

In other news of my week, I went to my first--and I mean first ever--bible study yesterday. My friend Holly is planning to become an episcopal minister and she's the brains behind the bible study group. I'm excited, if aprehensive about it. I am looking for a way to continue to grow in my faith and to be able to talk about faith issues with my peers, which is something that I really loved being able to do when I was at the Rome center. But, I am a little worried because a staff member who described himself as "born again" is joining us, and he seems nice but I am afraid I won't be totally comfortable voicing some of my doubts or questions with him there. Basically, I like my faith life the way it is and I am really not looking to be told that it is bad or that I should drop everything and begin believing a fundamentalist interpretation of the bible. Soooooo yeah. I'm nervous, but I think it is important to do because I don't like that I tend to check my faith at the door when I get to Marlboro.

It was Dan's birthday this weekend! I got him a video game.

The halloween party is this weekend. I'm going to be Leela from Futurama. I'm basically looking at the party as a working event for me, since the rest of November is going to be party central, at least until we get back from Thanksgiving, at which time all partying becomes strictly forbidden as I WILL have a solid draft of my plan paper AND a solid propsal/sketch of my photo project DONE by the end of the semester. I HAVE SIX MONTHS LEFT AND FEBRUARY BARELY COUNTS.
