There are a few more days until classes start up again and I have a bit more time in California to hang out and sleep in. But there's one thing that signifies school's about to start up in a crazy way: my school email inbox is blowing up... it must be time for class again.
End of a GREAT summer
It's truly been a fantastic summer away from school. I worked at a really cool internship and learned a lot. I got to live in Boston and see more places and old friends than I expected. And I got to travel, travel, travel. I feel truly lucky to have had many great experiences this summer.
Bday
I recently received an email about an upcoming political organizing meeting that's timed to coincide with Barack Obama's birthday.
My first thought was that this is a clever way to get his supporters together. I understand that the grassroots type of involvement his reelection campaign is trying to engender is based on small get-togethers like this one and it must be nice to have a theme on which to base it. It's cute, but not over-the-top.
But my second thought was that it's kind of weird. In my mind, celebrating the president's birthday happens in despotic, undemocratic states.
Again, I grasp the idea behind the event, but I think it's slightly off.
