Let me tell you a story- Today on the bus I realized exactly why Europeans get a disgusting taste in their mouth when they think of Americans. While on the bus to San Sebastian, I heard this girl talking to another girl. She was saying she was from New York and lived about 3 hours outside of the city. The other girl, (not sure where she was from, but she was definitely from Europe) asked the American girl about 9-11. Her answer ( I kid you not) "Well, like, it didn't really affect me. I mean, like I didn't have any family or friends there, so I don't know. I mean, I guess it was a big deal, but it didn't really affect me. I guess it like brought our country closer together and stuff, but I mean, I don't know."
After this, I kinda had to stop listening because it made me so angry! How could you say that something that historical, that TRAGIC, that TERRIBLE didn't affect you because you didn't know anyone in it? NEITHER did I dumb girl, but if something that huge didn't affect you, then you need to go get a heart transplant because something is terribly wrong with yours! I can no longer blame Europeans for thinking ill of many Americans. This is not the only case of stupidity I have witnessed, but it is by far one of the worst.
Anyways, just had to rant. Hope all is going well! I will close with a couple of random pics!

This is probably one of my Favorite photos! It represents all that I love to do, dance, sing, and spend time with my friends!
