Referandum
Well.
The government was looking into my eligibility to live here in Amerika. Again. Suffice to say, through the usual jumping through hoops, I am able to remain for a while longer if not entirely legally; in my opinion, the entire process is as slow as the Seima's approval on dual citizenship...
If that were not enough, my family was very insistent last month on bombarding me with demands I come home to vote. They don't necessarily approve of my speaking Russian to begin with, which is unfortunate so it was most likely a not at all subtle way to tell me to stop. I honestly do support our language and I am proud of it, but I think it's impractical to fuel more tension between two of the most populated groups in Latvia by calling the conflict to national attention in such a way. This recent poll- I am still uncertain as to what to think of it. Between the circus here and the chaos there, I'm not sure of where- exactly- I belong anymore.
There is so much that needs to be amended since my... unannounced leave of absence that happen far too frequently though I might not necessarily regret them...
I need a roommate. I love Berwald but I don't think I could face him right now without remembering... the past. Living there would be far too strange.
We had no players in the North American Hockey League this year... I should have taken that as a sigh of terrible things to come...
I think I may be going mad.
