Summer Stats

After 10 weeks of the PolitiCorps Fellowship this is what I have to show...

Personal Stats
510 hours worked and logged
6 Bus Trip canvasses planned
500 phone calls to volunteers
400 doors knocked for candidates
100+ times I said "My name is Emily, I will be a senior at the University of Oregon."
900+ times I said "Hi my name is Emily I'm a volunteer from the Oregon Bus Project/ or fill in Candidate's name.
4 nicknames- Mclain (obvious and most used) >Milly (mainly used by Hoj) >Muscles (used often and has spread to people I don't know) >Waffles (completely arbitrary and used every once in awhile because they think it sounds like muscles- I think they were quite drunk when this came about.)
6 average hours of sleep per night... All summer
2 visits to overtly gay clubs in Portland
2 awesome dance parties with Cesar as overtly gay clubs in Portland

Group Stats
5,000+ hours worked and logged

3000+ doors knocked for candidates
3000+ voters registered
20+ soccer/hacky circles in the middle of the office
8+ times us fellows were misperceived as attacking an instructor
3 times fellows actually attacked an instructor

Stats I prefer not to know
>Number of Pabsts consumed
>Number of Jack and Cokes consumed
>Number of times I bought a bad meal from the one store by the office
>Total amount of money spent on gas
>Total number of hours spent driving
>Times I manipulated people into doing things they didn't want to do
>Amount of wine consumed

Welcome to blogger. The blog looks nice (much better than Xanga).

Congrats on a well spent Summer making a difference in Oregon politics. The Bus Project rocks! We Project folks gotta stick together too.
