Ramblings of a Wandering Luney

Yea, I know I shouldn't have played on my ankle, but I promise I didn't play hard. I didn't hurt it anymore than it already was... It was so much fun playing with a smaller group, a relaxed group. We should definitely do that more often. Although I think I met about half the people in Fike before playing trying to find a few more players. Actually, the random ones we picked up turned out to be decent compared to those we were playing with. Amazing, I can be shy at times and completely outgoing at others... I'm odd.

How was my morning? Let's not go there. I am ignoring the events of the morning and it'll get better. It was just one of those mornings where one bad thing happened after another, but starting about noon it got a lot better.

Not too much on my mind I suppose. Its been a relaxing day.

Wait...I guess one thing is on my mind. I've been studying about poverty for my International Health class. One of the impacts of poverty in developing nations is that the people do not have enough food to keep both their children healthy and alive so they have to choose who lives. If they have a son and a daughter, the son is more likely to help them in their old age so they give the food to him and the mortality rates of girls sky rocket during a famine. I couldn't help but think about what would I do if I was in that situation. If the parents lets him/herself starve there will be no one to provide for the family and the kids will die anyway. But if the you split the food equally, you will all die. "If you have nothing else, you just become desparate" my professor would say. That class really makes me think. Anyone who is in college cannot comprehend poverty, because if you are here you have been given an opportunity and true poverty is totally hopeless in the sense we talk about it.
