(no subject)
i was inspired the other night when i watched a movie on tmn called 'the girl in the cafe'. it was all about the G8 summit and filled my young naive and impressionable heart with indignance and guilt. so i sat and read every newspaper i could get my hands on but they all said the same depressing thing. they said that concerts and celebrities snapping their fingers can't change the world. they said that people don't change. they said that we don't want to give up their luxuries for people on another continent.
i came to deeply resent such claims.
i have this innate desire to save the world. it's a pesky thing that won't let the major accomplishment of registering for university feel major.
i feel guilty. about everything. i'm letting myself off easy. how is it that i'm taking a degree with no physics or calculus? and why is it that i feel guilty about this?
because i want to be a doctor. and i want the MCAT to rule my life, so that one day i can feel like i didn't cop out on my venture to save the world... or you know map the human brain or something fun like that.
it's far too sunny and summery for all this serious thought.
my let's save the world complex, i blame it on all the super hero movies. and a little bit on julia lawson for her 'change the world' comment. if only i were bruce wayne, 'do-gooding' or would it be 'good-doing' either way it would be slightly more feasible.
