The Meaning Of: August 2010
http://katie-in-la.blogspot.com/2010_08_01_archive.html
Thursday, August 26, 2010. Dolores Mission School is trying to focus more on what it means for them to be a Jesuit school, which I think is amazing after my SLU background. So, beginning this year, every classroom has a picture of St. Ignatius. Fondly referred to by most of the teachers as "Iggy") with a brief bio next to him, and teachers are going to be trying to talk more about him and about the Jesuits. On Amazon's website, you can view a good chunk of the book. Med to reassure them. Finally, som...

The Meaning Of: June 2011
http://katie-in-la.blogspot.com/2011_06_01_archive.html
Wednesday, June 1, 2011. Two peace quotes from CA capital building in Sactown}. This morning, I decided to wear the necklace I bought at a flea market with Jen and Lauren back in March. It is a thin gold chain with a tiny gold peace sign. Little did I know that this would be a common thread throughout my day. Friday is the last day of school for the 8. It was written by Thich Nhat Hanh, a Buddhist monk:. Breathing in I calm my body. Breathing out I smile. Dwelling in the present moment. Those who defame ...

The Meaning Of: November 2010
http://katie-in-la.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html
Sunday, November 21, 2010. This morning after going to mass at Dolores Mission, Paula, Greg, Colleen and I went to a Quaker meeting in South Central LA. And then she said people were always telling her that she was a radical, and it frustrated her because clearly, she is a conservative. Paula and I looked at each other like, "who is she and what planet is she from? And more formalities, being in a house was weird. It was very much the stereotypical cat lady home. Yay for new experiences though! And Colle...

The Meaning Of: PLACE Welcome Orientation
http://katie-in-la.blogspot.com/2011/05/place-welcome-orientation.html
Wednesday, May 18, 2011. In April, I went to orientation for PLACE Corps. I am very excited to start the program, but also really nervous. There are 28 people in my cohort (C11) – 21 girls and 7 boys, which is actually a pretty good ratio compared to other cohorts. I knew one of the other girls from an immersion group that came to DMS from Santa Clara University, but otherwise I knew no one. I know quite a few of the graduates of the program and current members because of DMS connection. As Diana, the co...

The Meaning Of: September 2010
http://katie-in-la.blogspot.com/2010_09_01_archive.html
Wednesday, September 29, 2010. Capable of giving a sensation of heat or of burning, searing, or scalding. Merriam-Webster defined this word perfectly. And it's definitely how it felt Monday in LA, when we experienced the hottest temperature on record for the city at 113 degrees. It was completely insane being out on the playground in it. The kids kept going though, playing kickball and football. They're champs. To top off the day, the power went out a couple times during the day too. Me, Greg, and Dana}.
