shoot me in the foot

I just looked over TSL and got depressed. They've seriously improved since I last picked up their paper...occasional mistakes but fantastic stories and in my opinion decent lay-out (I'm sure M would disagree). If it's possible for a woman to feel emasculated, I do (I tend to associate that word with men). However they did have an IDIOTIC article about coming back from abroad. This girl was in Santiago, Chile and said it was weird from home and now its weird being back. She actually had to take public transport to school in Santiago! How trying on one's soul to take public transport and be without tofu for four months. You know what's "weird" about being back? Going into any of the dining halls and thinking about all the starving children and grandmothers begging in the streets. Going to a CMC party and thinking about the slums of Nairobi and the rural coast of Kenya where poverty is the norm. Ugh. I'm going to go read.

I thank the world I live in that I am here and I have what I do. I would not change a thing.
