I am using my sad Ani icon because I cannot explain my emotional state well in words, and I think a blue ani difranco sitting holding her hands over her ears is a good enough indicator.
In conclusion, my family is probably not the only complicated one. And I'm not the only one with a seemingly insurmountable amount of homework due the last couple weeks of school. However, sometimes, life is stressful.
However, I did have a really good day today, speaker-wise. We talked to girls from Mujeres Latinas en Accion, which is a really amazing, REALLY grass-roots organization that ended up having this huge impact on its community. It was really inspiring, as cheesy as that may sound. And then a speaker for sexual assault prevention from the YWCA came and spoke with us, and she did a REALLY good job, and I think it was generally a good discussion. I'd really like to work at the YWCA over the summer if I could. I didn't know what being a medical advocate of rape entailed (being emotional support for and giving other services to victims while they're in the ER) before this, and now I think that might be something I would consider (after trying YWCA volunteering, obviously).
Ah fuck. I have to go to bed.
