I heard something today which was a bit of a blast from the past. "We're Going Going Back Back to Kramer Kramer." I immediately went into reminiscing mode and proceeded to go over tons of camp memories. This leads me to todays little lesson. In certain social settings you don't know anyone younger than you but they all know you well and look up to you. Sorta funny to think about. Time and again I have been approached by people who went to one of my camps at some point and remembered who I was while I had no recollection of them. Once or twice I have talkked to someone older who has no recollection of me. Its an odd scenario, but none-the-less applicable. Man camp was great! Too bad they fucked it all up by firing all the good counselors and directors.

At this point it is already 11/14 which says more about my day than one would think on first glance. Today was long, stressfull and nerve racking. I spent the day running errands, preparing things and biting my nails in suspense. However it all paid off in the end. Today I saw my first event as Lieutenant Master of this Fraternity go very well as we welcomed many officials from our International Organizations office. I also won an election for a position on the Inter-Fraternity Council on my campus. So now I think I officially qualify as an important person, more so than I ever have before.

Today was the worst day in a long long time. It started off innocently enough until a street rat verbally assaulted me for being jewish upon seeing my shirt that spells berkeley in hebrew letters. That made me furious and caused me to skip a class. Later I discovered that my email isn't working and I almost failed a group project because of it. Here I thought I was just not popular anymore. So in a rush I had to type up a page and a half. Then I left my room early to get some grub on the way to class and promptly realized my wallet was missing after ordering. Worst feeling ever. Ok maybe not as bad as being verbally assaulted, but close. Then I had more class and I still haven't eaten all day. Although I did find my wallet.

It's been a long weekend, but tonight afforded me two great opportunities. First I was able to welcome new brothers into my chapter then have a nice meal with most of my brothers. The second opportunity started off with boredom but became the chance to relax the way I always love to relax. Blacklight glowing, ceiling stars ablaze, mellow music playing and nobody around but me, I kicked back and had my thoughts and my space to myself. Its about the closest thing there is to sitting under the stars somewhere in the mountains with your favorite music, but in the seclusion of your own room.
