Don Training

Perhaps the most intense week I've ever experienced, don training has been really educational and inspiring. It's helped me bond with my house team of fellow dons and council members and I'm learning from different characters whom I would not have met otherwise.

Yesterday, we woke up early to go to Camp Kennebec. It was a long day of fun and relaxation. Jaclyn and I canoed out to the middle of lake, not really going anywhere, but just feeling the peace and bright, bright sunshine. It was so peaceful, like a moment of respite in a long, arduous journey to reach the day our residents arrive! That day is like a bright end of a tunnel. You don't know where you'll find yourself when you exit the tunnel, but you know that it is bright and therefore you anticipate that moment to come.

During our dialogue book conversation (where a conversation between two people who have met recently but are comfortable with each other go through a book of personal questions that reveal more about the other person's personality and character), we discussed something along the lines of, "The more education we have, the deeper we can go to help people." Going along with my "deeper" theme, I need to start preparing myself to be a university student once more.
If we want to help people in deeper and more meaningful ways, it would be good to have a deeper knowledge and wisdom about our world.

Now, I must think of a floor theme.
