This body holding me reminds me of my own mortality...
I'm falling behind on my classes, lots of reading. This Wednesday I have my citizenship test and interview at 9 in the morning. It's finally coming to an end! I will be a citizen of the United States soon enough...and at least I don't have to swear under a picture of George Bush.
I've met so many new and interesting people since I got to UCF and I am extremely thankful for it. I have learned to never underestimate the people in my life. My friends are amazing people and the community I have become a part of is so close and open that it makes me feel like I am actually part of a movement.
I've also met a lot of infuriating and scary people while I have been here. Especially in my political science courses because I am essentially taking courses with my ideological enemies. It's so curious how we can be so sure of our ideas and even our enemies (whoever they may be) are so sure of their own that they view us as the exact opposite. I believe that people are entitled to the basic necessities in life so that they can use that as a starting point to become who they want to be...I know that's a bit idealistic but if we can invest billions in bombs that incinerate hundreds of thousands of people I feel that we can provide people with these services. However, there are people that actually feel that this is wrong and counterproductive to society and so they would be considered my enemies. I don't like to think of people as enemies but sometimes you just can't make anyone understand.
I'm happy with my life. I'm stressed and I hate needing money, but I am happy with my life. I have great amazing friends, I have been to great amazing places, and learned so many new things and have come to understand what my beliefs are and what I want out of my life. I don't want to sell out and work just to make money. Some people just get different things out of life. My interest in working for the International Criminal Court and the International Court of Justice has been reignited and I believe that Law School will be necessary for me so I have to start reasserting myself. I've become so involved in so many things in school I feel accomplished compared to my peers.
This is all I have time for for now. But hopefully I'll actually get a chance to say something sometime soon.
Embrace this moment, remember we are eternal all this pain is an illusion...
