I think someday soon I want to get into youth organizing

It's my last week! I can't believe it. This was the last NAPAWF staff call I was on - although I'm not too involved, I'll miss hearing everyone talk about their work, what the org is up to on a national level, all that sort of thing.

Work consists of: finishing factsheets, finalizing chapter Voter Engagement calendar, and as the biggest project, get together that training for YLW (Young Leading Women) that will happen on Friday. ahhh! Lots of work to do, and even less time to do it.

Other things I have to do/finish this week:
--> JA Grant Project on leading activist women in the JA community (I have a TON of work left on this one)
--> Pack for Hawaii
--> See everyone before I leave
--> Write that intro!

hahah that's right. Sorry folks, I just got super caught up this weekend and didn't have time to do it. Even after I wrote that email promising I would finish it! But I will don't worry, hopefully I can work on it for a bit sometime today and at least get a draft out to you all via google docs. I was kind of in this weird haze this whole weekend - when I try to think back on it, it's all a blur because I dunno, I think I was just all over the place.

Meanwhile, will have fun gchatting with you folks, esp Megan, and try and make the most of my time left here. Can't wait to see Nessa again! And Hannli and Kirstie, I hope we can do Office Depot shopping soon. I think Hannli is the funniest impulse buyer/nonbuyer I've ever seen, and Kirstie is the most decisive!! She knows what she wants. hahahaha GOOD TIMES.

I'm scared that once I get to Hawaii I won't have a community to work in! I dunno what I'd do without an outlet for my activist passions.

Glad I will get to see you all tonight, that will be fun! LOOKING FORWARD TO IT.
