I had this epiphany today.  Actually I didn't.  I just wanted to start dramatic.

But seriously,

I did contemplate on how lucky I am to live here and to be able to go to school.  As I researched information on the invisiblechildren.com website (for my club), I just kept thinking about what it would be like if I did not grow up with loving parents, to be ensured that I would be safe, that I would not be personally stuck in the middle of a war.  I encourage all readers to visit invisiblechildren.com .  Children in Northern Uganda suffer from lack of safety, homes, and education.  This organization raises money, awareness, and support for these children and their families.  But enough preaching for now...just remember to 

Get involved.

Anyways, I'm back at school...busy (and bored) as ever.  I wish that Jerk didn't total my car, otherwise I'd be driving down olive, with the windows down, on the way to the bookstore.

I am a nerd.

I love to read.  It allows me to escape from my life, my drama, my troubles...only to escape to some fictitious characters life.  Sometimes it amazes me to see the relationship I end up having with these characters.  I wish some characters were real.  I wish people acted like these characters.  I know what youre thinking, "what kind of books does this one read?...cccrrraaazzzyyy."  But really, who hasn't gotten attached to a book, assuming that everyone loves to read of course.

Be kind. Recycle.

nothing like being pulled into fantastic realities drawn from the mind of another human being.
