Well my day went well. I've been fasting since last night and in a few minutes fasting will be over. Not being able to consume food has really made me think about how precious it is. I mean no matter if i cant afford food, i know that somehow i will be well fed. It's so crazy to think about how thats not other people's reality. i think about that when people throw whole burgers away, or when the dining hall throws away tons of food becuase they're done for the day. It makes me sad to know that people feel a lot worse than i do at this moment. I'm really glad ii participated in this because i would have probably never stopped to thnk how it feels. Im super hungry and it has only been a day. I think thats what kept me going all day, was knowing that people go through this everyday and me doing it for one day puts me in there shoes for a moment.
other than that today i recieved an email from belen, and that brighten up my day. It was good hearing from her. anyway, i hope to go home next week. WOOOHOOOO. going home! yea! Its friday so thats a good hting and i get to sleep. wooo.....ok well im oging to go break the fast with everyone else.
peace.
