at the pool8:52 PM 3 Falling Stars Umm okay, i just found out that three girls I went to elementary school with are married, and one has a kid....and they're all 19/20. I thought stuff like this only happened in the South. It's kind of scary, in a good way i guess. I mean, is marriage just around the corner? Am I the next generation?! I mean married at 19!?!?!? Is One Tree Hill happening in my own back yard?? I'm shell-shocked. I think the funny thing is that all of them were always really wild, so I guess marriage was the next chartered unknown.
But i do wonder how married life is for a 19 year old. It must be pretty stressful, trying to make ends meet, take care of another human being, keep them happy, be a good wife/husband, etc. I think I'll just go back to reading about the electoral systems of France and Britain.8:40 PM 2 Falling Stars

It's slowly sinking in that I'm not going to Paris this summer. Apparently, my mom took it worse than me. Which stresses me out, because I worry about her not being happy, especially because of her volatile state. I mean, she lost a sister and a mother within a year of each other, so I don't want to stress about her stressing out. My parents sent out a very strong-toned email to the main director. And I'm glad it was them writing it and not me. Everything they said was right though. The way the CIPA office treated me was insulting. Here I just have a death in my family, and instead of addressing my critical situation, I'm forced to run around for a month trying to get into contact with them. And then i FINALLY get an appointment and this is what the woman says, " Oh, I probably should've read your email before you got here." HELLO!?!funk
I did find a 29 day tour of Europe online, and I wish I had a friend who would do it with me. Although, something is looking bright. I will probably end up interning at the International Rescue Committee, which integrates Liberian families into society. What could be more perfect?? Roughly 2.5 weeks left till i home. And everyone is so busy, not to mention myself. But i'll be leaving and won't see people here for the next 4 months.7:22 PM 2 Falling Stars I never have any luck. I never win raffle contests, arbitrary games, big giant toys from the fair. And I think it's really important to have luck on your side. Boy, what a dissapointing day today has been. I had to withdraw from the Paris Study Abroad Program this summer, and I didn't get into the Creative Scholars Society. At this rate how am I going to get into Law School?! Another problem is that I just lack an internal drive. I don't have this "i'm-going-to-do-it-all" engine within me, and when I see people around me who are writing thesis and being brilliant, i just feel like such a waste. All I do is my work, but that's the bare minimum. I don't even know what to get involved with. I guess for now, I just need to focus on finishing the semester well. But seriously, why do some people get so lucky ALL the time?? Oh and double the dissapointment today was something I definitely did not need. Thanks, life.6:46 PM 0 Falling Stars
