In Two Weeks...

It just seems like yesterday when I had a month before I had to go study in London. Not that I'm complaining but I haven't soaked enough of the city yet and to leave now would just leave a craving that I wont satisfy till May.

Since London is coming up so soon I also decided to map out the rest of my life in Syracuse and education beyond. Hopefully Spring 2011 I get to study in Hongkong or Beijing and also begin my LSAT preparations. By senior year I should have completed two internships, 1 involving International Relations and the other involving Law. I plan to combine both my interests into 1: International Law.

It took me 6 years of Model UN, International Relations and Politics class to find out who I want to help with what I want to do. Every time I hear about the destruction of families and lives because of ethnic division it bothers me. We are living in what we know as the "civilized" world but there is nothing civilized about murdering people because of how we look and how we live. It still baffles me that governments around the world congratulates people who torture and rape women because they're from a different ethnic group. How can war criminals run freely around the world after the nightmares they have caused upon millions of people? There is no such thing as justice in this world yet, there might have been centuries ago but not anymore.

I have always peaked interest in the life of people who have been hurt by another human being. Not that I'm fascinated by the pain of other people, which would then make me a sadist wouldn't it? I'm more into the look of people's faces when they have been relieved of a lifetime of torture and nightmares coming from a threat in their own homes/countries. It's about leaving an impact in people's lives without having to give them your name. I like being anonymous because a name doesn't do anything when it's empty. We see Angelina Jolie as a name yet it's not empty because the one that holds the name works and dedicates her life into what she does. A name on a check given to charity is empty... thoughtless and for publicity.

I need to get a really good score on my LSAT. If not... BOOM my career will fail. Who knows? I might have another goal in the coming months after London... being in a different city always changes my perspective on life.

CHEERS.
