Always learning
There is nothing like the feeling of finally figuring out you're delusional.
In other news, today I saw the apartheid wall in person. I find it both scary and sad how people can so easily decide that they matter and others don't. It's easy to criticize the settlers but as a friend here pointed out, unless you are an ethical shopper, you send the same message when you buy clothing and shoes from sweatshops: Those people's lives don't matter to you. While I don't quite agree that not being an ethical shopper is synonymous with the same superiority complex, it is definitely something to think about.
Finals start in 10 days! I'm so NOT ready. I leave my last final and immediately go to orientation for my 2 week volunteer camp. I feel like my life is moving at warp speed.
At least I'm learning a lot in the process.
