I recently received this message from a friend about his family's current experiences in Kenya after the elections. I would encourage everyone to contact their Senators and Representatives and encourage them to take action in Congress. Our contact local and national media representatives and encourage them to cover this story fully. We need to take any and every action possible to help prevent

oh so p.s.- The Jayhawks (my beloved school team) are going to the Orange Bowl in football and #3 in the nation in basketball (and that's "underrated"). If there's one thing about going to KU that I am happy to have unexpectedly grown to appreciate is the excellence in athletics. (Despite the moaning that athletics gets way too much money, especially compared to the measely cultural centers that

so it may seem that I'm returning to the world of blogs. I haven't quite decided yet, but I'm going to give it a try. let's see, life has been chaotic. as per usual I guess, however never quite as I expect. I was going to try to par back my busy load of classes, extra-curriculars and work this past semester, however that seemed that no matter what I did, my life was just as busy.It was probably

Hey everyone!So i think this blog has turned into a I need advice webpage more than anything. I'm currently working on getting a student loan for spring semester and I'm contemplating whether or not to add the cost of a new computer to the loan amount. The reason for this being that I am experiencing some problems with my current computer that I experienced about a year and a half ago prior to

taking the idea from a recent lay-c.com post, i've decided to write some of my own open letters. life at college certainly has its fair share of annoyances. dear lawn-mowning man, must you mow the lawn right outside my window between the hours of 6 and 7 AM on Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays.

Today was an interesting experience. It started with sleeping through my favorite class, because I've been just that tired lately. Then I had a conference with my english professor, wrote a note to my SUA coordinator, ate some lunch, and began to study with a friend of mine. We have two classes together, both of which had tests this week. Needless to say, we've been spending a lot of time

So this weekend I went home to visit my parents. My youngest brother turned 11, so we were having a birthday party. And I got to play golf for the first time, ever. It was awesome and I had some really great swings for my first time. I totally didn't get anywhere near par though, but i can work on that! Anyone want to play with me sometime soon?Another thing that I got to do was go see "Who

I was doing research on smart cars today (you know those funny lookin cars in europe) because there was an article on BBC today about this university in canada that is poking fun at Bush as an admissions incentive. This university also is giving away a smart car, which got me started on this smart car research kick. On one of the smart car websites there was a list of other alternative fuels

I think that this is the first step to becoming a journalist. That is, getting in the paper.Yesterday I was sitting down on a grassy area in front of Budig eating my lunch.

Recently I've come to realize that my school has an obsession with students "graduating on time". Graduate in four years they tell you in orientation. You can graduate in four years in our school, they tell you in the school specific information sessions. You realize that you'll be here for 5 and a half years if you try to do all that they tell you in advising. Graduate in four years they

I have internet in my apartment. It's absolutely wonderful. I am reveling in the fact that I have a free wireless conection to the stupendous thing that is the world wide web. In all seriousness, it's actually very good that this came today. You see, the other day I went into my favorite coffee shop in town, got an iced chai tea latte and sat down with my computer to do a little "web browsing

So I'm sitting in one of the auditoriums right now with about a gazillion other people. I knew this school would be huge, but oh my gosh it's massive! Getting off the bus this morning was probably the most overwhelming thing that has happened to me in a while. There were people everywhere you turned walking in massive crowds to and from class. I was way too early for my first class so I sat down

so i took an unannounced hiatus from blogging. it's not like nothing was happening in my life, tons was happening. I just didn't know how to say it. I guess i kind of had writer's block. To update you: I moved from Chicago to Kansas earlier than expected. You see, the thing is that Chicago was a really difficult place for me to live. I loved my job, I love my friends from there, but that

"The incalculable value of Bahá'í youth in the service of our Faith cannot be overlooked. They should be enlisted as travelling teachers, going on foot when necessary, in the mountains and jungles to visit, teach and encourage the local Bahá'ís and to help them to elect their Local Spiritual Assemblies should the friends be either unaware of the procedure required, or perhaps illiterate and in

"As regards backbiting, i.e. discussing the faults of others in their absence, the teachings are very emphatic. In a Tablet to an American friend the Master wrote: 'The worst human quality and the most great sin is backbiting, more especially when it emanates from the tongues of the believers of God. If some means were devised so that the doors of backbiting were shut eternally and each one of

I've been thinking some recently about how much we take for granted in the US. We have so much that is just expected to be there and operate properly that I don't know how we can truly appreciate the fact that we have it sometimes. The example that has been ever-present in my mind as of recently is indoor plumbing.Not only do we have indoor plumbing, but we have very refined systems of it. We

National Convention was incredible. More elevated than last year, more meaningful than last year. From what I hear, every year is an improvement of the past, which I guess is the way we are supposed to be going!

so I haven't posted my own feelings, thoughts and emotions in a while. recently, I've been taking a semi-hiatus from the world to the best of my ability and as I need to at the moment. I feel like a lot of my life has kind of been turned upsides down and there is a lot of uncertainty. in this hiatus, I have also taken a break from the stream of blogs I read, and my writing as well.

So I hear that people "await anxiously a new post from Miss B at The adventures of a Youth Desk intern, whose last post was dated February 18th, for example," according to Baha'i Views. Well everyone, I'm here and I'm alive, rest assured. Pilgrimage was the experience of a lifetime and there are some pictures on flickr for your perusal. (More pictures are on their way shortly.)

I'm sitting in the grand ballroom of the Marriott of Stamford, Connecticut right now, listening to some beautiful world music being performed by radiant Baha'is. Why may I have such the bounty to participate in such an uplifting event, you might ask. It is because I have left the safe keeping of my Chicago community with my fellow Youth Desk of the National Teaching Committeers and traversed part

I recently found this article when learning abour RSS feeds. Now, I'm not trying to get political, but I really think Iran is going off the deep end here. I really feel bad that independent investigation of the truth (of anything for anyone) is not allowed. All sorts of freedoms, simple things yes, but this is how it all starts, are starting to be taken away.This just makes me happy to live

A few friends of mine and I have been talking recently about a balance in life between being a student and going pioneering/doing service at this time in our lives. On the one hand, we are told that our youth is the prime time in our lives to do service to the Cause and to travel, as we are not restrained by the obligations that many adults have in their lives (kids, a mortage, loans, etc.) On

I really like the prayers of the Bab. For some reason, his prayes speak to me especially so. This particular prayer (click the linkage that is the title) I hope will help me a lot soon.You see, I've been reflecting on what has happened on my year of service so far. I feel like I haven't had any really difficult tests to try to deal with. Year of service isn't supposed to be easy. So far,

The Baha'i National Center is one of the most special places I can imagine on earth. God must really like me, because I have been given so many special opportunities in my life. Today we had a new staff orientation with the HR department. The NSA (National Spiritual Assembly and the boss for all of the offices loves us all so much. Even with practical things such as time off and benefits they

I decided to pick a new template for my blog. Somehow I messed up the format of the old template when trying to change stuff so I just picked a new one all together. I'm starting to get used to understanding HTML stuff, so I figured out how to add links to friends' sites. If I didn't add you in the first go around, MY APOLOGIES!!!!, I've bookmarked several blogs to read everyday, and those are

For a while lately, I haven't been remembering my dreams. It was a little unsettling and now I'm not sure if I want to remember my dreams. Last night I had a couple of weird dreams. One, my dad sent me money and a box of cherry tomatoes. I hate tomatoes in general. I gave the tomatoes to my roommate. That dream was pretty simple. However the next dreams was really complex and bizarre.I was

So I was going to work today as I do on most mondays. As I walked out of the house to my car I noticed something strange on the windshield. It was a witches hat. Did a witch crash into my car and die? Nope, no broom or signs of carnage. I think some one somewhere is trying to tell me something. So I picked it up and wore it to work. Everyone loves it. They think it's great. But now, for

Ok ok ok, I know! This post is long overdue. I've been really busy with work and everything else to have time to blog. And when I'm not doing what I'm supposed to be doing, I feel like I shouldn't blog because that's really what I'm not supposed to be doing. However, it's been long enough and a real entry is due. I also was procrastinating on uploading pictures (which still hasn't been

So I'm sick. and i hate being sick. Robbie and I were tag teaming being at work all week and we are both worn out enough to not be there today. it's horrible. It's not strep but it could be some other bacterial infection or a virus... i'll find out on monday. The worst part about it is that many people are sick.

So I decided to put ads on my blog. For every hit I get money. That' s right, google will pay me to blog. That's rad. So, if you want, click on the ads, if not just ignore them. In about 12 hours I'm departing on my very first business trip. I'm going to Maine to give a workshop on how to start a BCA at the BCA weekend at Green Acre Baha'i School. I'm excited to see old friends and make new

The title sums up my friday through sunday rather well.Friday we got new computers at work. Pretty new computers. Pentium 4 processors, 100 GB hardrive, 512 RAM, 17 in. flat screen monitors. It's really wonderful because now we have a larger capacity to do the work we need to do. And get it done quicker. It's lovely. I spend all afternoon personalizing my system and downloading programs. See,

After a rather lengthy absence (in blogging terms) I have decided to come back full force with a series of posts.... this is the last one though. I felt bad for leaving everyone hanging with information of being stranded, but things are incredibly busy up here and when I've had time to blog I've been exhausted or rather unmotivated (is that even a word?) So after being inundated with pictures of

So apparently Blogger doesn't allow you to post more than 5 pictures at a time. Well I had 10 post-worthy pictures, so here's the second half.This picture is just very very pretty.The big city of chicago... driving on 94 is scary the first time.A beautiful sunset that I saw while sitting on the side of the road with car troubles.The house that I'm living in...

Well, I made it safely to Chicago. Apparently there was a problem with my distributor so it was replaced at "Doc's Auto Shop." The guy that ownss the place is actually named Doc. It was interesting, very small town.After that problem was fixed I got back on the road for my remaining two hours of a drive. Getting into the city was a scary time. I've never had to drive in a large city before, so it

By now I should be enjoying a lovely pot luck dinner with the Wilmette community at my new house. Instead, I am sitting in a hotel room about two hours south of Chicago watching the news about Hurricane Katrina. Allow me to explain. (please forgive my inability to tell stories well.)Yesterday around St. Louis I was going about 70-80 mph. Suddenly, the car just stopped accelerating. So I

Tomorrow I start the road trip up to Chicago. I will be driving about 10 hours on Saturday and staying at a friend's house in southern Illinois. Then I'll drive the rest of the trip, about 3 hours Sunday morning. I am set with a four pack of Red Bull, courtesy of my mother and some pull'n'peel Twizzlers. I still have a massive amount of packing to do. Last night some of the people in the

In response to a couple of questions popping up in the comments I have decided to post again, twice in one day, oh my!It's really cool to get comments from people I don't know too. I don't know what it is about it, but I find it fun, heehee.AbbreviationsSometimes I go through conversations using different random jargon and forget that people have NOOOO idea what I'm talking about. I apologize

So many people have asked me questions on these two topics. "so, WHAT exactly are you doing??" and "why do you want to do?" Well on my old blog I talked about both of these things so I'm transfering posts over here :DJob DescriptionWe will be the monitors/managers of bahaiyouth.com, we will be doing research for the national teaching committee and as requested for the national spiritual assembly.

Welcome to my blog!I am about to embark upon a year of service for the Baha'i Faith. I am doing this YOS at the Baha'i National Center in Evanston, Illinois, just north of Chicago. I am one of two interns at the youth desk. This blog will be my attempt at retelling my adventures, test and difficulties and learning experiences as a YOS. Many challenges await me as I take this plunge into
