No Time(Cont.'d)

Let me explain.

I use my Cellphone as my watch.

This morning I had to drop off some books to the Washington Post to be reviewed. I realized I'd left my phone right as the metro pulled up to ship me off uptown, and instantly I felt a weight lifted off my shoulders.

Well, not instantly, at first I was scared because I wouldn't know if I'd be late or not, but once the train took off and "The World is Yours" by Nas started flooding my ears with the howl of the Metro, I stopped caring. I knew I wasn't going to be late, I knew I'd make the delivery, so I stopped caring. Then I got off at my stop and got lost.

I can get there fine, but never exactly stick the landing. Whatever.

I get out and start crawling up L St looking for the conservative hotbed that is the Washington Post(which also makes me wonder why they'd be reviewing environmental books). An old Gray-head gave me directions that sent me walking back in the direction, so I must've been around the same block around three times.

Then I found out the post was just another block down from where I'd been.



The delivery went off fine, then my legs carried me to the j.o.b. And I settled into a slow day, wrote many emails, sent out my first newsletter, and then I met with Kate and Chris, my supervisors for lunch.

Yo. Free Szechwan Beef at a nice resturant is the greatest(props to Allianz, ya'll my homeskillets). More importantly I got to bounce my frustrations with college life and city life off the Supe's.

One of the major beefs I have with my school is a lack of social conciousness. It claims to be diverse, but it's just multi-cultural. The difference? In my book, a diverse community understands the sum of its parts--that is, the people understand the cultural customs of the other communities within it. If that's not present in a community, it's just multi-cultural, because it just has alot of pretty peices that don't go together.

My college is multi-cultural. This is not a good thing.

I also started to brainstorm what I'd be doing for a business plan to move some of the organization's books on out to college students. So expect me to slip a proposal by you all(all 5 of you that will read this) in the near future.


Business aside, I saw Star Trek tonight.

I would Uhura.

Oh, and the acting was great.

Peace y'all.
