Friday, July 27, 2001 SHIT!!!!! heh, this ()#%^*&#^$(*@ computer is SO #(*($*&# SLOW!!! AHEM! Anyway. I'm at that Economics for Leaders program right now and I'm having a VERY short break and I FINALLY found a computer lab!!! (after travelling miles upon miles and arriving at dead end after dead end.. I HAVE FOUND IT!!! Muahahahaha!!! lol.. can you frickin' tell I am SO computer deprived right now?..no?.. well then, I guess that's a good thing.) Anyway. I can't check my e-mail because aol won't let me log-in. :( :( :( :( That means my e-mail is going to be so overflowing when I get home for a day.. it's going to be horrible. The program has been an absolute.. wow.. I can't even explain it.. my eyes are just being opened to so much and I'm meeting SO many great people; however, I have absolutely NO time for anything extra (like this right now) because I'm always on the move to somewhere else or lunch.. or SOMETHING (despite the fact that they DO give us TONS of time to just go and do anything we want.. lol, I walked with my friends I've met quite a huge distance to find this computer lab.. practically off the entire campus, so obviously they give us a ton of freedom to do pretty much anything we want during the 3-5 hrs. we have for "recreation" time on the campus) Today we had a "trust walk". I've really been able to open up about tons of stuff on my mind to everyone as well too - I'm so excited to be here, and although I'm both computer and sleep deprived... I'm really having a lot of fun. Wow... I'm going to have to explain EVERYTHING later because there's too much to write about and put in here. So, I really have to be going in just about 10 minutes (RUN across the entire campus t make it to dinner and then to the economics class on time), so I can write hardly anything. Unfortunately I haven't been keeping a very good account about what's going on here (in a journal) because I hate writing by hand, and since I never have any access to a computer lab (unless I walk miles.. lol)... I can't really jot much down. ABOUT THE TRUST WALK! Okay, we were all blindfolded for over 2 hrs. What we did was at first we were all gathered into this little group within a rope, and we had to walk ALL over the Loyola campus together blindfolded.. it was quite funny, and , I can't explain it, but being around everyone blindfolded was very comforting.. we were very comforted, and when we felt insecure we would grab a hand or something - even if we didn't know who it was :) . THEN we had to do a "trust walk" on our own! That was freaky.. because we had to go alone, walking all over the campus, and this TINY rope was supposed to guide us each while we were blindfolded, and often the rope would go through water or around a tree... into a wall... right off a cliff - lol! Just kidding about the cliff thing, but there was definitely A LOT of trust involved! HAVE TO GO!!! . . . babbled Lin |
