life as of right now..

SOOO,
I decided since everyone is doing it, I would fall into the blogging trap as well. I figured I would have to get one anyways for Ecuador.

As of right now my life is pretty mundane.

I am worried about getting my VISA for Ecuador. I think it will take sometime and they are really putting my through the ringer. I had to go get an HIV test which was a bit unnerving even though I knew I didn't have it. They were asking me all of these personal questions which were totally inapplicable to the reason I was there in the first place. I refused to answer them and told them that the only reason I was there was to get a VISA and it had nothing to do with any sort of concern pertaining to AIDS. I would hate to have to ever be in that position.

My life seems to be slowing down for the mean time. I have felt seriously overwhelmed for the past few days. I know my life is going to go right out the window as soon as I start preparing for my trip to Georgia. We are taking a red eye there which is one of my most hated things ever. I cannot function properly without a sufficient amount of sleep. I want to really be involved with the protest and such but it's really hard to do when all you are focusing on is sleep. Fuck it, I need to buck it up and just push myself to really get involved.

The last protest was seriously moving. To be there letting the world know that you are standing in solidarity with people who have lost loved ones to the brutality of the US government meant something to me. In a weird way I felt like I was the voice of all the people that were murdered, raped and/or tortured due to the School of the Americas (WINSEC).

This is as good as it's going to get tonight.
