When asked about community Ethan has given the following answers:
-I like the unity part because the rest is just Commi.
-My favorite part is the I in community.
On a more serious note though all of us have struggled to define what community means in our lives, esp within the context of this group. Part of living in community with others is knowing how to cause problems in just the right way so as to be called a prank. The themed housing group has understood this extremely well as is evidenced by the pictures of my half of the room after my "birthday". It was a thoughtful, well timed prank that at 12:30 at night one can only laugh at.
But another part of community (as evidenced Sunday night) was being able to share concerns, critiques and frustrations of the world we live in, share our views and how they differ from others while being respected in the larger group.
Until this year I had gone with the flow not truly questioning why I did what I did. I hope in a similar way next year I will be able to continue to challenge the status quo.
And to third Neuf...watch your back!
