I have to thank one of the members in my group for something she has done to help me move beyond frustrations that I have been having for many months. Simply by saying a few simple words of confirmation to me I feel that everything that I have been feeling and experiencing in my life has come to a more zen place. She talked with me for several hours about shared ideas and experiences. I came on this trips in hopes of finding a connection with someone like this who shares my viewpoint and knows what I feel about social norms and how I want to world to change. I have been trying to on this trip open up new relationships and experience things from other peoples views to connect with people and find shared interests and common goals. I think, at least I hope that this is happening.
We went on our african safari. Today. Ever one here is ready to go to church today.
I have thoughts on different things and people about discriminations and intolerance promoted or thought about by people here and at the University. I have to go, there is never enough time in this course for anything we are over programed. There is too much going on and not enough of the things that I want, but I still am having fun and living the experience.
Did you thank this person in person? I think she'd appreciate hearing it.
