Log:
I started my day by interviewing Krystal, a former co-director. It was great to have a lot of my ideas about community living validated. It was also energizing to chat about dorm sustainability programs that we’ve both been working on. It’s my dream that one day Berea will have a sustainability RA in each dorm, similar to the current chaplain position. I think it’s a necessary part of Berea realizing its commitment to sustainability.
I had lunch with Carlita. For the second time in three days I went to Luzmila’s for the tostada deluxe. Mmmm, mmm! When I returned to CCAT I helped out with the bamboo shed deconstruction, which is a huge project.
I spent my evening baking up a storm. I cooked down rhubarb and plums so I can make a fruit leather tomorrow. I made unintentional granola bars as well as two batches of plum, blackberry granola. I really don’t know what’s gotten into me lately with this cooking craze.

Questions:
-What would it take to start a sustainability RA program at Berea?
-How little sleep can I get by on?
-Carlita was the first person in Arcata I connected with and the first I’ll have to say goodbye to (recall from earlier entries that she’s a firefighter working Thursday through Sunday). What have I learned from her?
