long overdue
well lets see, time for a DML run-down:
life is good here in albuquerque, NM and i'm really really enjoying this city and the surrounding areas of the state.
the people in my program here for the REU are all so diverse, its really fun to be around them all. we have who served in the air force, a mormon back from his mission, people from all corners of the US and much more. everyone brings a new life and side of their story to the table that it always makes hanging out with them a lot of fun. i've made really good friends with about 3 or 4 of the people here and it will be weird when we have to part ways in 3 weeks for a long time. seeing as i dont go to school with these people it will be weird to not see them everyday like i have been for the past 6 weeks.
research is pretty fun and i think a pretty monumentous thing has happened in terms of my life goals switching a bit. i've pretty much fully decided i want to go to grad school because i think it'll definitely benefit me in the long run, not to mention that i love the idea of research and continuing my education. welp that was easy. if only life was that easy as well, which it isn't, let me tell you freddy.
i've met a girl here who i've really hit it off with as a summer fling style thing. i'm really glad i've met her because she constantly is forcing me to open up and just be way more easy going and personable, not to mention affectionate and sexual. i think its a really great growing experience and i totally enjoy her company, she's a great girl. and older than me as well. hi-oh!
well lehigh is only 6 weeks (exactly) away from today and its exciting and a lot of anticipation. i already can tell i'll have a lot on my plate with being president of KA, not to mention my classwork and other parts of life. i'm trying not to think about that far in advance just because i'm really really enjoying my time here at UNM in the REU and everyone around me.
i am smoking more weed. i like it. nuff said about that topic.
otherwise this is a pretty amazing summer. i got to visit juarez, mexico (right next to el paso, TX) which was a really intense experience. it really made me want to learn french/spanish much better and travel a lot. i'm definitely considering living abroad next summer as an option, not to mention working when i'd be abroad. but yeah, mexico opened my eyes to a lot. opened me up to what i really felt inside about a lot of things, and i think it was well-timed with me reading ernesto "che" guevara's biography. he had lots of aspirations and was extremely passionate about things that were important to him, and i respect that a lot. walking through the streets of juarez at night (although drunk with my REU buds) really made me think about what effect the US has on its citizens and those around it. the US is a very imperialistic nation and it has been this way ever since the civil war ended. its sad but very true and believe me, i'm open to discussion. the US needs to calm the fuck down because the more we try and get involved, the more Iran's and North Korea's we get that want to blow us the fuck up.
i also think i may be a socialist at heart. this has been brewing in me for a while and i feel as if it relates my political views the best at this point. but then again i dont really like politics and think it complicates everything, so yeah.
well sorry this was long, but if you stuck through it all, thank you. sorry i've been so lazy about updating about my life, that's a decent portion of what i've been through since may or so. any questions, comments or if you just wanna say hi, please, don't hesitate. chances are i miss you or miss talking to you.
