So fast.. I can't catch my breath..
I've been reading several books lately because my brain craved it.. I used to read every chance I got, but these days things have become so chaotic that this is seemingly impossible.. or was. I am currently reading "Memoirs of a Geisha," by Arthur Golden.. and it's pretty damn good. I'm also reading "Andrea's Voice," for my Psychology class (it's called Eating Disorders). The book is non-fiction, written by the mother of a girl who died from Bulimia, and some segments contain journal entries of the girl's. It's very depressing but honest, and that is what keeps me reading it. I read about 150 pages today alone.
Anyways, this semester has gone very well so far, with the exception that I realized it's already going by SO fast! Well, that and the fact that she won't be coming home until what feels like an eternity from now.
I've stuck with the Salsa lessons, and I'm in the highest class in both LA and Casino styles.. I'm even going back now to learn how to dance as a girl in Casino style. I know it will help me be a better dancer as a guy.
I joined the group "NaviGators" at UF because it pairs international students with american students and allows them to befriend people they'd never meet otherwise. I've met so many wonderful people.. Jin, Anja, and Ariane to name a few. One guy (from Pakistan) asked me what I was getting out of participating with the NaviGators.. I told him the pure enjoyment of meeting new people and learning about their culture. He thought I was being paid to do this.. and it only made me realize once again how low of a standard the rest of the world holds us to.
I am trying to find something productive to do this summer..and I'm looking at internships and work possibilities overseas.. I've even found a program that would let me go to South Africa all summer to help build up the local economy and infastructure... I love the idea.. but getting my parents to help me pay is slim :(
I still yearn for your touch.. but I guess the best things in life are worth waiting for.. I hope that's true.
