CLA: Philosophy Camp http://blog.lib.umn.edu/walla003/camp/ Philosophy Camp.]]> en-us 2008-05-19T19:59:35-06:00 Anticipation http://blog.lib.umn.edu/walla003/camp/129105.html I feel excitement and anticipation surging in me by the time the informational meeting ends for Philosophy Camp 2008. Almost everyone associated with Philosophy Camp 2008 has come together in the same place at the same time to meet each... engl8813 2008-05-19T19:59:35-06:00 Just a day http://blog.lib.umn.edu/walla003/camp/081137.html Last night was the first night I've failed to blog. I'd just been up far too late to write anything. Today started off a little alarmest, but everything chilled down once we got to talking with the students. We had...

Kelly led a how to embroider patches session, and I started on an impossible triangle. I can remember doing something like that once in grade school... Holding the Space poth0018 2007-05-29T02:46:28-06:00 Weekend http://blog.lib.umn.edu/walla003/camp/080969.html At philosophy camp, Sunday is the only day we get off, and we get it off from 8 pm Saturday until 7 pm Sunday, because we're hardcore like that. So my weekend started at eight today, and boy is it...

But I'm still really proud of doing it nightly, and I know that it's much easier for me if I don't break the pattern. Today I... Holding the Space poth0018 2007-05-26T01:39:33-06:00 Inside or Out? http://blog.lib.umn.edu/walla003/camp/080475.html First, a thought from yesterday. I was in the studio, and there were two students there with me, Ben and Oren. Ben was working a book binding (of the sort I had done only the day before), and Oren was... Holding the Space poth0018 2007-05-25T03:13:28-06:00 Seems like I'll need to prioritize sleep soon. http://blog.lib.umn.edu/walla003/camp/080405.html Today was a lot of fun. The instructors decided that we could use an easier day, so they didn't schedule anything in the evening, which meant that we got to schedule informal things for the first time. I got to...

Sorry to not give Nance one last hug before she left. Our thoughts and good wishes go with you, Nance. Ashley... joyful@hopework.org 2007-05-23T15:04:01-06:00 First full day http://blog.lib.umn.edu/walla003/camp/080349.html So it's day two, and I had to think really hard about which day it is. Either we fit more into the days here than I'm used to, or I just can't count to two. I woke up minutes before... Holding the Space poth0018 2007-05-23T01:30:50-06:00 The Students Arrive http://blog.lib.umn.edu/walla003/camp/080302.html Spent a lot of time ironing out networking today. Most of the road blocks turned out to be pretty physical problems, with solutions like unplugging and replugging the router, remembering to push the power button on the external hard drive....

I leave them... Holding the Space poth0018 2007-05-20T22:35:06-06:00 Arrival http://blog.lib.umn.edu/walla003/camp/080232.html Today I arrived at Philosophy Camp. I helped pack things, then wondered around a little looking for ways to be helpful, then quickly fell asleep- a symptom of late-night/early morning packing. John woke me up for dinner- a simple affair...

I'd love to pursue any or all of them in this year's circles. Think back to a time when...

Tonight I asked for and got forgiveness for not going to Bobbi Megard's award ceremony tomorrow evening.

These were the deep questions... engl8813 2006-11-25T20:06:15-06:00
