i just want to take this moment to say (if for some reason i never have before...)
if any single one of you reading this EVER has a problem...or you're in a situation and you don't know what to do, or you're worried, or scared, or sad, or even if you're so happy you can't contain yourself,
I AM ALWAYS HERE!
i will always listen. every single word you have to say, no matter how long you talk or what you are talking about. i don't judge, i don't care about anything. just please know that i am always, always here for anyone...and my phone is always with me, esp. now that i'm at college and i get service in my "bedroom"...cause i never did at home.
i love you guys.
so...with that said...let's see- what did i do today. i woke up and went to breakfast with alva. i love our breakfast days because we always get up at the same time, i go down the 2 flights of stairs to his room and we walk to the caf together. we always sit in the tv room and watch regis and kelly on the big screen tv and eat our pancakes or cereal. then we walk to african american studies, and we have the best talks all along the way :) well, we took our first exam in that class today...it was RIDICULOUSLY easy. sometimes (and...no offense...) but like, the program is "under review" right now, because its a new program, and i think that they are kinda making the classes kind of easy so that people will get good grades so that the university will continue the program. i mean honestly, i've had 3 exams so far in some of my classes, and this was the first one for AFS...and i haven't had a single assignment for the class at all. it's just so easy...and fun haha.
anyways...so then alva and i walked to the library. i checked out 2 movies - the movie "crash" which i LOOVE, we watched it in african american studies, and i wanted to see it again. i HIGHLY recommend it to everyone, its a really awesome movie. i also rented a documentary called "ABC Africa" which is about orphanages in africa, and all these kids that are left parentless because of HIV/AIDS. i came back to my dorm b/c i had a 3 hour or so break until my next class. so i settled in to watch the documentary...of course i bawled like a baby, i knew i would. but it was a really awesome movie, the kids were so cute :)
then i went to take my drama appreciation exam (i know, a lot of exams, right?!) it was on 'a streetcar named desire' and i got a 100 (we went over the answers in class). so that was good, then i went to rugby practice. i did everything but the tackling drills and the scrimmage, elliott doesnt want me further injuring myself (plus my meds were kinda wearing off at that point).
tonight has been kind of a crazy night, me and sara have been running all over the place visiting people and hanging out in the kitchen, but i'm about to go study for ANOTHER exam i have tomorrow (EWW im getting tired of these exams!)
but first, here's a picture...i'm not sure if you've ever seen it. but it's called "Wanting A Meal" and it won the 1994 Pulitzer Prize. Kevin Carter was the photographer, and everything in the box underneath the picture is completely factual. This photo was run in TIME magazine in 1994, with the box underneath. i'm putting it behind a cut because i don't know the dimensions to resize it right now.
keep praying for liam everyone, because it's making a difference. thank you so much.
miss you guys!!
peace
