About

This weekend I am going to attend GROW--GrassRoots Organizing Weekend--and I'm looking forward to it. Except for one not so minor detail. I won't get back to Bryn Mawr until Sunday afternoon. This means that I won't be able to attend church on Sunday morning. It also means that I need to finish all of my homework before I go. This is because it goes against my belief system to do schoolwork on Sundays.

I choose to do this for religious reasons, but I also think that it would be useful if everyone else took a day off, too. One day every week to pretend that schoolwork doesn't exist. And it won't because it will be finished before this "day of rest." Not doing school-oriented items on Sundays also helps me to be more enthusiastic about doing them the rest of the week. If anyone bothers to read this, a day off is something to think about. Personally I think it is one of the best decisions that I have made in my life.

Next Wednesday I
get dressed up
for my senior picture.
You know? Look
more put together than usual.

Therefore, I must
find tweasers
just to pluck my eyebrows
so neatly.
I have always been a strange person.

Others worry
about peace.
Or world hunger. Or health.
But not me.
I’ll solve problems with coiffed eyebrows.

Just wanted to let you know that I added your site to my Blogroll. What a great project! Keep up the great work.
