...because the stakes are so small.
The quote has nothing to do with my entry; the entry is going to play catch-up for a week's worth of stuff. The quote refers to a friend's dilemma concerning morality and a brick wall. Perhaps I'll expand on this later.
After my last entry on Saturday night the stuff hit the fan. It got bad very quickly: total for the night, 2 Incident Reports, 3 residents who I hope don't remember me during the school year. The camp really seemed to mess the place up; random little things broken, trash strewn through hallways. Sad.
I sprained my ankle on Saturday night too. Fell down a half flight of stairs, and landed really wrongly. Its just about healed now, still feels a little bit weird in the mornings.
My vacation was extremely relaxing: did very little of anything, except sleep, and visit with friends. I saw "Minority Report" - very cool film; Spielberg has this interesting view of the future; between AI and Minority Report, it seems we'll all be driving sideways cars and having jetpacks and stuff. Intriguing.
I saw a bunch of old friends: Brendan, Tiffany, Lauren, John, Chris, etc. 
Was in Gaithersburg for July 4th and 5th hanging out at my uncle's pool with my dad. Found a copy of the Gaithersburg Gazette, and also was able to find a copy of my friend, Ali's (who had an internship there for the summer), article about "Fun in Clarksburg After the Fourth."
The most impressive thing (in my opinion anyhow) that I did was read: I got through about 1500 pages in two books, "The Sum of All Fears" and "Without Remorse"
." Both by Tom Clancy. I can't reccomend them highly enough; I was addicted to them. They continue the Jack Ryan series started in "Patriot Games" and "Hunt for Red October." It gets overly technical, yes, but thats kind of fun; by about page 200, you know what passages to skip without losing the gist of the book. I was up until 4:30am today reading "Without Remorse."
If only I could do that with my school textbooks. sigh.
Anyhow, I'm reinvigorated for Day One - 7:30 tomorrow morning, bright and early, families, (I'm family host 1) here I come.
