state of the union

So, I don't think I can say anything super intelligent about the state of the union or politics in general, but I can say that I love Obama. I love listening to him. He makes SO much sense. It is like he is intelligent and has really thought about these things. He makes hard decisions and is actually doing a pretty good job (I can't imagine anyone else would do better). My other favorite parts of the state of the union.

1. I really like Biden's goofy smile all the time. HEHEHE. I think his head is full of air and dancing ponies.

2. The standing/applauding drama is huge. I wonder how people decide when to sit. I imagine the democrats have it easy. Just stand all the time. Republicans, that's where it gets tricky. You have to stand when it's something pro america, pro kids, or pro michelle obama. and not stand most other times, but sometimes. i think they probably just have one guy up in front that has half a brain and knows which times to stand and they just follow him.

3. I'll be honest, I don't really have much pride in America. But, every time I listen to Obama, I get this giddy pride that america stands for freedom, free thinking, compassion for the poor, opportunity and it teleports me to a time when I was seven and learning about the revoloutionary war. Nowadays, I really hate all wars, but I was really proud back then. It is nice to feel a little pride for my country. It will be gone soon I'm sure and I will probably live my life in canada or australia or hawaii (okay, i know hawaii is in the U.S., but I won't care about politics, I'll be in Hawaii :-)

Okay. So, enough of Obama. I am getting ready for my trip in three days! Jamie and I are going to Thailand on Saturday morning. Woohoo! I just watched Beyond Rangoon. You should see it and learn some more about the history of the conflict in Burma and the Karen people. I have a couple more things to do and pack, but then I will be off on my next adventure! I haven't been on an adventure in a long time. The only sad part is leaving my baby kitty rambo (see pictures).

As for my medical school life, match list is basically done with a few tweaks probably happening on Friday.
