Tonight I had to go over to my grandparents house to eat. My family on my moms side is split into two opposing factions, and it can be strange. One part consists of utter evangelical Southern Baptists, and the other is my own. One aunt seems to have come to the conclusion that my immediate family is doomed to Hell, but her group rarely makes an appearence because they are missionaries. My cousin (her daughter) will be attending college here in the US, I can't imagine it. She's lived in Africa all her life among the utmost shelter immaginable, only recently going to a missionary boarding school, and having come to the US only a few times. She has hardly any experience with American culture, and shes glossed with the ice of religious haughtiness. It will be a strange sight to see her living here without her parents.
