"i have never let my schooling interfere with my education." --mark twain

this past weekend, my roommates and i rented just dance 2.
it's a wii game.
you should all go get it.
amazing.
i dominated because i'm just that good.
but one of the dances on there is this african tribal one.
the dancer we were following was wearing a mask
and the song was in some african language and everything.
i felt just like i was in africa.
on a more serious note, i was going through a byu magazine that my friend had.
i read a story about two kids from mozambique whose parents died of aids when they were young.
they tried to survive on their own, but they were put in an orphanage.
and eventually they were adopted and moved to the states.
they interviewed these siblings and found that these kids "would do anything so they could go to college."
after reading that article, it reminded me of what i want to do with my life.
i'm gonna do what i can to help kids like this.
you know, give them the opportunity at life that they wouldn't have had otherwise.
...
well those are my 7 cents.
so there you go.
at least i actually talked about africa this time...
