WAG - I'd forgotten what the grindstone felt like...
Now I remember...
I'm back at work.
My first afternoon/evening back at Mizzou has gone okay.
I'm glad work doesn't start for another week, because my head is spinning just from the information cramed into my head today.
There aren't as many module workshops before the Winter Semester, I am told, but there is still quite a bit to cram into what time is given. I also have a lot of little projects to finish before noon on Wednesday.
Currently, my first major goal is to put up 5 new bulletin boards by myself. Well, others have offered to help, but I want to see if I can do it the first time by myself.
Just before this quick update, I was pulling together sources to make a board on Ghandi. It's both newsworthy, topical, thanks to Hillary Clinton, and multi-cultural relevant.

I'm sure Mr. Nonviolence could still apreciate the joy I'm getting from this one-two-three combination. He's dead now. What does he care anyway?
Part of me is tempted to go on a politically incorect run here, but I still have work to do, and am trying to be respectful of Ghandi's work, even if I don't agree with everything he had to say.
Regardless of our differences when it comes to settling arguements, he was a good scholar of the human condition and had the basics down pat. After all, he is the man who, when asked about western civilization, he classically responded, "I think it would be a good idea."
Being nonviolent doesn't mean you can't slip in a zinger every once in a while.
To close, I want to leave you with my my favorite Ghandi quote of the day:
"'Hate the sin and not the sinner' is a precept which, though easy enough to understand, is rarely practiced, and that is why the poison of hatred spreads in the world."
