One of my close friends at school is from Oman. She's actually struggling right now with the idea of quitting school and going back home to be with her father, who is very sick. It's a tough decision, for sure, because her father wants her to be in school in America so bad, but she wants to be with him.
The Sadaam execution was just chilling. I don't think it actually accomplishes anything good, because I don't think executions ever do, or at least rarely. And Iraq still does not seem anywhere near ready to move on to peaceful times. But I pray that time will come soon. Those poor people deserve something to be happy about, and they deserve not to live every day surrounded by the stench of death.
Man that would be crazily tough. What a conundrum. Poor thing. I hope things work out for her, and I hope her father gets better so she doesnt have to worry about him.
It was very chilling. It was so .. I don't know. But its no different to those other poor souls that have in the past been executed on TV beheaded and the like. But imagine. Saddam Hussein once friend to many - friend to the Americans in the 80's and friend to many other crazy dictators in the middle east just .. hanged. Just like that. I don't think his death mattered. I think he was a secondary entity in what has become a disaster in that country.
Anyway, I also pray for the day when there is peace and where people can just live and just be and not fear this aweful violence.
It is intimidating going to London by yourself - it was really scary for me actually at the start. But by the end of my time there it felt so good being able to depend just on myself - no one else there to fall back on when things got rough. Believe me, you'll come out of it a stronger person! Just doing little things like going to a museum when I was having a bad day made the transition easier. You can do it Z!
