I think I think too much
All I really want to do is start over. It seems to be the prevailing mood everywhere, suddenly, this need to start new, start fresh, clean everything out and begin again. Maybe it’s just because it’s spring. Maybe it’s because the whole world seems like it needs a good scrubbing. Maybe I’m just getting old and cynical; reading too much news

As I've said to you, the world of school politics is it's own thing, and I think you really do have to have some link into the system (i.e, you through your parents, Courtney S. through being a part of it, even a parent with a child in the system) to be able to fully grasp all of it. Maybe that's part of the whole "back burner" thing. If it's not a part of your life, and it's not your profession or passion, then it's not something you're going to think about on a day-to-day basis. That's not to say that it's at all an unimportant issue. You already know this, obviously.
In regard to your "disillusionment," it's something that would happen no matter what you decided you wanted to do. I've seen my father become more and more disillusioned as the years have gone by. I see that now he has realized that the best you can do is try to be happy with the people who are important to you. It's not a matter of being able to dramatically change the world (like Courtney says up above), but that you can be the best person you can be. Perhaps it's because I lack your "wander lust," but I don't think moving away from the country would fix anything. It's a matter of being able to make a living, and being able to say that, at the end of the day, you know you're a good person, making a difference in the best way you know how, and being there for the people you love.
SUCH the over dramatic speech, which really didn't say anything I'm sure you haven't already thought. Just doing my best to make my point about optimism (lolz) to someone who I <3. ;)
I hope you get home soon. I want to watch our new movie!! ^_^
ilu!
