On London

Hmmmm. I was going to post my thoughts on London. But I got bored with that so I decided to post this just for the sake of posting. Sorry.

Injustice

Is it called irony when bad things happen to good people? Talk about cruelly ironic. I hate unfairness. Why do good people have to be hurt? Good people, who smile everyday, who actually care about you, who love, who enjoy life to the fullest. Why do they need to feel the pain of loss? Why does it have to be so hard? Why does a child have to die? I can't image what they must be going through. To have to take that kind of loss is one thing, but then to have to go home to the house, to the room that you had specially painted for the child, to the faces of your other waiting children, to tell them the news, to let them down, it would be unbearable. I don't know that I could keep living.

Dear God,
Give them the strength and courage to go on. Help them to continue living their lives. Support them as they struggle through this hardship. Don't let them loose faith, let them believe, let them learn. Show them how to move on, for their other children, for each other, for themselves. Be with them. Please.
Amen

So...Morris...

It is nice and...rural. There is a large barn and a field, in case you want to bring your horse with you to college. That was a plus. I would have missed my horse, but now I can just bring it with me. Maybe I could ride into town on the weekends. It would actually be better to ride my horse, because cars go so fast and if I blinked, I might miss the town. It is half the size of good ol' NU. Seriously, though, for a public school it is nice. The dorms are small, the smallest I think I've seen, but what can you do? The study abroad program is as good as anywhere else...as is the theater, and the rest of the programs I would be interested in. Nothing really stood out. They were hospitable there, though. When I was sitting in on the Spanish class, the other Spanish professor came in and gave me a bunch of stuff, including a quick study thing and a DVD of a study abroad they had in Ecuador (at least, I think that is what it is, I haven't watched it yet). I wasn't given the overall feeling of a big family though, like I have felt at other schools. No one really was hanging out on the lawn or watching TV in the lounge area. Actually, they didn't hardly have a lounge area. But, anyway, like I said, overall it was nice, and it only smelled a little.
