I decided to review what I had written in my blog and something jumped out at me. I placed a sentence in the last post that could be perceived in a different way than I meant it. I said that there was nothing left for me in Champaign. When I wrote this, I did not mean people. There are many, many people I love there and I cherish the relationships I have created there. That being said, I don't see the kind of things I saw in Spain everyday. I loved Spain so much and I didn't realize quite how much I took everything for advantage. I guess I'll explain that I really don't like how America is formed. Again, don't get me wrong, the ideals are great, but I lose faith that the system is working when I come back and if everytime I flip through the a.m. radio stations I hear about how a government official knew about the Guantanamo Bay torturings. It was bad. Get over it. Obama stopped them and so what. I bet a lot of officials knew about it, but it's in the past and all we can do is stop it from happening.
--Another reason I dislike not just Champaign, but all of the United States is that the public transportation systems are awful. Being back in St. Louis, it is no better.
--I think the reason I'm saying these things is partially because I'm feeling a resentment for being back in the States. Theres that, and also I feel like I may be lashing out like a cornered dog. Before I left Spain I thought that I had everything to look forward to. Now I'm in a completely different situation trying to get a hold on my life which feels like it's on it's way out of my control.
--That's it. I'm done spilling my feelings online. I didn't want to do this, but I felt that if I didn't say everything explicitly I would risk the chance of being mistaken. Thanks again for everyone who has followed this throughout my incredible experience.
