My International Politics (IP) and US History (USH) classes are really opening my eyes to things I never had the chance to see before. We watched a documentary about Germany invading Russia during WWII in my IP class. It was pretty shocking and heartbreaking. I saw actual footage of people during those times. I saw hunger, sadness, blood- lots of blood. It wasn't easy to watch.
And then my USH class just provides so much information that I never had access to (right now how the US reacted towards WWII). I mean, I honestly feel a little jealous of kids that went to school here, because I went to really small schools in Colombia and I think my history classes were limited and provide little information. I feel like I've been missing out a lot. But thankfully now I get to have it.
It's also helping me to come up with new ideas for future writing so I guess that's a good thing. Oh, and I've decided to double major in History- ta ra!
Things are good. I like the way things are going. I'm hoping that I'll be able to do more writing once I'm done with my committee (for Alpha Gamma Sigma)- which should be some time soon. I'm ready to spend Thanksgiving with my best friend and her family. I'm ready to be 21. I'm ready to go home for Christmas. But I'm not in a hurry to get there yet. Things are good now. And they'll just keep getting better. Hopefully.
If it's not clear, the picture reads "I am one of the 25,000 people that die because health care doesn't cover me.
I was wondering what that said!
ReplyDelete21, huh?! Exciting. For some reason, I thought you were older? Any big birthday plans?

Good to know that you are double major in History. I like History very much but my problem is I hate to memorise most of the historical facts.
ReplyDeleteChips and salsa huh? I need something like that.
ReplyDeletei love when life gets to that point where... you really dont need anything else, that its just great to be in that moment where you think... lifes good, I'm good where I am. I dig those. I hope you get to stay in that for as long as possible.
ReplyDeleteKelly, is that a good thing? I'm spending my birthday with my best friend and her family in Colorado. My birthday is the day after thanksgivings.
ReplyDeleteWan, I feel you- I'm not a lover of remembering dates.
Lizzi, Yeah, it's good stuff.
