Instead of studying for my test (because chances are that i learned more tonight than i have in my Poli Sci class all semester - and that if an opportunity presents itself like it did - you don't say "oh, i cant talk right now because i have to protect my precious GPR - get real people - get logical)- i just sat down with my new friend David - in the crocker computer lab and we talked - about some of the most important things humans can deal with - politics - he is from England - and he is on an exchange program... he told me - that this is the first time he has been in America. He said that we was bored with school over in Lancaster - the school he was at - and someone suggested it to him and he said "Texas? Hell yes!" ...

He is a political science major so he was studying some stuff for his test tomorrow and so i was coming in to study as well - political science - as fate would have it - so we got to talking and we talked about so much stuff - it is absoultyl amazing to see the differences in opinion - like you would have no clue unless you have sat down and talked with someone who is that knowledgable and that researched in politics and current worldly affairs - it turns out that he is jewish - and he's been to israel - and he has the heaviest british accent i have ever heard - i can't begin to describe to you how much he made me think - how deep his thoughts were and how much i appreciated us being able to share - he is in my dorm - just a floor below me and i'm sure that we'll have conversations again - one of the most interesting things that we talked about was the EU, and another one of the most interesting things we talked about was 9/11 - he was in israel when he heard about it - and he was starting his 6 month stay - he is taking a 2 day bus ride to NY for a week in christmas - and then he is taking a 3 day bus trip back to go to mexico - i dont know what else to say besides wow - besides the fact that i appreciate his thoughts and opinions so much - and that i know that i want to get involved in politics - that i want to serve my country and i want to make the world a better place - and i know - it sounds so gay and so overused - but i'm so far from kidding its not funny - people suffer and many places are far from good- far from anything close to a decent environment...and i want to help those places - but i dont know what i can do right now - i can educate myself, i think - i can educate myself to become aware of the problems, and become aware of the opportunites i have to resolve them - or at least - give my effort to resolutions -

you just don't know....

but i wish you did

find something you're passionate about -


mediocrity and apathy suck so much
