Solo tengo una hora, y me duermo terminado...
The Campus Progress conference was amazing. I felt like I learned so much. Our day of action last sunday was a community event in which we went to low-income communities and changed out incandescent bulbs for fluorescent ones. All of the people we visited were really grateful and very welcoming and kind. It was also a very humbling experience ( Read more... ) -
Don't you see their bodies burning? Desolate, and full of yearning...
In less than 5 minutes of Bianca and I getting to Atlanta and checking into the Hostel we were harassed by a homeless man who we thought was trying to steal our shit. We're lucky he didn't mug us. It's a shame that a city with so much rich history is reduced to the stark contrasts of poverty and wealth and in the same city where Martin Luther King ( Read more... ) -

Tomorrow morning at 9 am I have my test and interview for my Citizenship. I refuse to do anything tonight. -
This body holding me reminds me of my own mortality...
I'm falling behind on my classes, lots of reading. This Wednesday I have my citizenship test and interview at 9 in the morning. It's finally coming to an end! I will be a citizen of the United States soon enough...and at least I don't have to swear under a picture of George Bush.
I've met so many new and interesting people since I got to UCF and I ( Read more... ) -
Put your head back in the clouds, and shut your mouth...

I know this is the typical "I don't wanna grow up" way of thinking but to me it's now more than that. I don't feel as if I am prepared, I don't feel as if I am accomplished, and I don ( Read more... ) -
Le monde est entre / dans un nouveau millenaire...
It was cold last month. In December, not so much. My finals week was the most hectic I've ever had. No sleep. Hard tests. Projects and papers due all at once. It sucked. I ended up with 3 As and 2 Bs this semester. Slowly but surely I will get my GPA to a 3.5 to rectify the Cs of freshman year.
I'm reapply to the Global Perspectives Office for the ( Read more... ) -
Yo no hablo espanol, je parle francais, and my name is Kevin...
I was in Atlanta over the weekend for the 19th Annual Southern Regional Model United Nations (SRMUN) competition. UNA-UCF took 16 people this year, we were given Slovakia and Cameroon to represent, and I was placed in the Commission on Science and Technology for Development (CSTD for short), I had a partner and we were Slovakia. It was kind of ( Read more... ) -

A black man is President of the United States of America. This is monumental, and I am proud of our country.
