Hello ladies! Glow sticks in the darkness! Dixie cups in the drought! Snuggies in the cold!

I just hung up with my brother, so time to check in. ;) Turns out our friend's dad's factory cant make a sticker prototype, but he gave Eames the name of the process & advised him to google factories in the LA area who can do that. Eames also discovered the (free!) software we need to to start screenwriting together - it's called Teamviewer (http://www.teamviewer.com/index.aspx) ... So we will both have a document open on our remote computers, and as either one of us makes changes the other sees it. We are both tied up with other writing projects right now, but might start developing new scenes in a few weeks.

I submitted my research project proposal today (actually a BLOG (!) on Nurturing Global Citizenship in the Christian University). Not sure how my prof will like it - I hope she gives me a lot of feedback - but the pre-research has been very compelling. Not finding much @ GWU's library which means... I'm gonna become a regular @ the Library of CONGRESS!!! So excited to have an excuse finally! For another class I decided to design a cross-cultural training program for missionaries/aid workers going to Haiti from the U.S. According to Mallie, Haiti asked the U.S. to take over the rebuilding of their nation. Eek. I have felt ambivalent about the situation (I think because it is so overwhelming, I feel like there's nothing I can do), but I found a way to engage the issue that feels empowered rather than despairing.

My interview w/ the director of One World went great! He REALLY wants me to get an article about them published, and made me jittery about it for the rest of the day. I would love to work for them in the future. I think. He tried to talk me into interning w/ them after all... but I am juggling too much & offered to help as I can but not officially. Mallie reminded me I need to do some extra reporting before I can write the article (students/teachers/etc.). Ugh.

But right now, I am procrastinating a little, and need to write a paper before bed. So... off I go! Lovies & Huggies & Fist Pumps & Chest Bumps! Goodnight.
