Try to get yourself together, darling -- join the human race.
So, finding out that 25% of South African adults suffer from HIV or AIDS has just made me want to study there more.
I didn't know anything about that country. Anything! Now that I'm looking, I realize that I am so, so ignorant sometimes, it's disgusting.
1000 South Africans die of AIDS every fucking day. 5.3 million South Africans have it. And did you know that they have eleven official languages? That's second only to India's 29! And only 9% consider English to be their primary language -- others, like IsiZulu and IsiXhosa and Akrikaans came in first. And even under apartheid, the country was only 10% white...
Good God, the world is a crazy place. Every time I think I've open my eyes all the way, I find something else to see.
CIA World Factbook. Totally fascinating. Just pick a country, and go.
