it occured to me today that i actually like this place. i think this is good.
the seven year old girl im mentoring is possibly the cutest person i have ever met. today we played board games. whenever i was behind she exclaimed "ima get you some luck!" and then made me close my eyes while she rearranged my pieces so we were tied.
sometimes i wish i was still seven.
yesterday some wierd group of people came onto campus and held an anti abortion protest complete with extremly large and disturbing pictures (i'll spare you from a detailed description). it was literally impossible to get to any of my classes without being confronted by atleast 2 of them. my immediate reaction was that of infuriation, but i realized that i really do believe that they have every right to be there regardless of how disrepectful and disgusting they were being. i did leave feeling extremely sad for those people though...they just seemed so brainwashed. i heard this one guy talking to some vcu student and he actually said "there's no situation when both the child and mother can't be spared; doctors are just in it to kill the babies. that's their jobs." wtf, how do people actually think like that... it really is a very sad thing.
but i was comforted by the fact that from what i saw the student body seemed rather pissed off and the students i heard talking to the group OWNED.
i did not see wei-li today.
in a little over 12 hours i'll be on a flight to ames. hoooollly shit :).
it occured to me today that i actually like making livejournal posts. i think this is good.
