EOW

Saturday night:

So we have internet service, which is amazing. We are sitting in our room, just hanging out and relaxing after a super long day. It's been a day of workshops, singing videos, and conversations. As much as the day was long, tiresome, and mostly boring, I think all of us are going to be coming back with a lot of ideas. Today I went to four workshops. The first one, how to have a cow was really tiring. It focused on hosting a particular event and nothing else. The second session was speak. It was incredible. It was about this guy's story of his trip to the congo. And the story of the falling whistles. The third workshop how to do with facebook and technology and how it can be used to better your bonner program. It was interesting and educational. The last workshop was called check yourself before you wreck yourself. The point was to teach how to deal with stereotypes and race issues in your community. The icebreaker game they had us do was really interest. After putting a card on everyone's back, with some kind of race or minority group.(ex. poor, native american, jewish...) Everyone at first was afraid to use stereotypes to try and get the person to guess. But it was the only way we knew how to do it.

Sunday:
Currently I'm sitting in the bonner congress meeting. Were working on plans to bring what we learned this weekend back to our campus. Tim keeps falling alseep. Haha. No one is surprised. We miss Siena. It's a little long and very repetitive.

to be continued....
