I'm finally "home" where I can get some work done. This retreat was the biggest waste of time ever, except the surprizingly good lecture by Scott Russell Sanders. I didn't like his book because he went on and on about the same things, but now I see that he did it because he realizes that Americans are stupid and have to have things repeated to them over and over and they still don't get it. He talked about ways we could "take care of earth and one another," and I think I agreed with every thing he said.
I realized this weekend that there are some people in college who simply should not be. To be in Honors here, one must have an ACT score of 28, and when I look around at everyone, some people just don't seem to fit. Even in the general consensus of students here, there are people not suited for education higher than high school, because they're going to end up on welfare anyway, and you don't need a college education for that.
I got about halfway through Irish Girls About Town this weekend while various stupid things were going on, and it was great, a must-read for anyone with an inner Irishman...or woman. It's about time for tea...
Just one more week...

P.S. There was absolutely no convogination this weekend. I hope that's not the case next weekend...
