I just watched Invisible Children in the APR with Alisa, Lijia and Riko and it's amazing how one movie can change my perspective for the day. Instead of making me sad and depressed, I felt uplifted with a greater hope for humanity. It's weird how bad this week has gone and yet I don't feel bad anymore. First I was rejected from two health worker programs, felt rejected by my ex-boyfriend, and got rejected from Habitat officers ( oh common, three people from this semester running against me, like there was a chance that I would win). Anyways, Invisible children was an amazing documentary. It was so horrible and yet it led me to realize how lucky I am and it reaffirmed why I was still in school. I guess once I get confused in one area somewhere along the way someone answers a question that I was confused on earlier. Earlier this week I was confused about whether or not I should really be in school. I hate it, I don't enjoy it, I think dragging my ass to class is harder than running and I just don't like it all. But Invisible children reminded me that I'm here with a purpose, an intent on some change that I want to make in the world with my education. The privileges of my education and my experience here may shape the world someday. Despite everything I've been through, I still keep my romantism at heart. I still believe in humanity and the American youth of today to inact some kind of change in the world.
I'm rallying in SF on April 29th against the Ugandan govt. You should to.
That documentary, despite it's scary images, gave me hope and inspiration. Me and Lijia totally wanted to become political activist and start some kind of social change. We both wanted to go to Africa and make a difference and that's why we're both here working out way to med school. Hopefully in the end I achieve my goal. I met a nice guy in the program. He was cute. I'm all hopeful and inspired right now.
Hopefully I'm going to celebrate 420 with my sisters tonight. With this wonderful mood, I feel like painting and writing and listening to music and taking in the joys of the world. Ah, I sound like a hippie.
