a quick update
i'm back in athens and excited to be here. excited for old friends, new friends, donkey chai, and studying. i have a chinese housemate who i met tonight and adore already. she found out i'm very good at talking...i started talking about walmart and then didn't shut up about everything that's wrong in america and then felt bad about bombarding her with pop culture vocabulary and corporate (specifically, profit-driven) practices. BUT. i would like to say there are definately good things here, and there are many places that are beautiful beautiful beautiful, thanks to mother nature. oddly enough, although maybe it's not odd, most international students that i've encountered do not know about the evils of walmart and go there of course, because it's the cheapest around, thanks to the monopoly it holds on Athens. luckily they get housemates like me...haha just kidding. i can't force anyone to do anything so you make your own choices and i'll respect that. i've decided to only say my opinion if someone asks it. which is why i have this blog...so that i can voice all my opinions without anyone having asked. this is really a fantastic relationship we have. what's even better is that you have the option of commenting and informing me of YOUR opinion or even of your better-informed opinion and we can have discussions. that would be neat and i could be more informed.anyway-point. we spent $85 million on our recent balistic missile defense test, which was reported as a success. but nowadays whenever i see money figures i always wonder where ELSE this money could have gone and wonder why we live in a world that we have to spend money on nuclear defense.
and the original point: i'm excited to be here. love to you.
