quirestiSo I'm at the SERVES conference in Wenatchee (I do not in any way guarantee that spelling.) I took a seminar in ethics and decision-making, and I really loved it. In fact, I've loved every class and seminar I've had to do with ethics. It is possible that people interested in teaching about ethics are uniformly fascinating people. It is also possible that I just find ethics fascinating. The presenter was really good though. He kept people involved and going without any props or anything. Lori, who took the same seminar at a different time, agreed that he was really engaging and everyone would have been willing to stay late if he had wanted to run over time.
I'm also doing a talent show at the Conference, which strikes me as a mistake now that I realize I'm surrounded by people with actual, you know, talents. But anyways, I'm doing a story-telling thing about what AmeriCorps means to me.
If you hear of something really cool, I would be happy to go to Central America or Europe next year. It just seems like it would be really nice to go to a completely new continent and I just don't find Africa quite as interesting as Asia for whatever reason.
Speaking of which, a high-school student came up to our apartment the other day because she's writing a report on FGM as a rite of passage, and I was really kindof upset that I couldn't think of any resources for her to look for. I mean, I have info, I've studied this stuff. But I still just can't think of anything to direct her to. It's really annoying.
By the way, I brought my cell but forgot my charger so I have no battery and thus no working phone til Friday.
