On Obama

The Norwegian Nobel Committee selects the recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize. Even in admitting that the Committee has a broad interpretation of the qualifications for the award, far too many people are skeptical about President Obama receiving the Nobel. The Committee says that it endorses and contributes to enhance multilateralism in a world facing global problems--multifaceted solutions and cooperation is needed more than ever. The 2009 Nobel Peace Prize is a testament to America's leadership and role in the international community, and moreover, we should be proud that an American won. In light of everything that President Obama is trying to accomplish for us, it seems like he can't win because so many don't want him to win. On health care reform, there were absurd lies everywhere. What happened to civil debate? On encouraging a secure Israel and an independent Palestine, he was called anti-Semantic. What's wrong with peace? On trying to bring the Olympic Games to the United States, there were signs and shouts of joy when our bid fell short. Where did the patriotism go?

I'm Good

Really, I am. Back from the much needed mini vacation with a realization that I'm good. I may be my harshest critic, but it makes me work harder. I may not see or believe what my family or closest friends do, but it makes me feel better.

School: 1 year of Davis + 4 years of Reno = 2 degrees and 1 minor
Family: Forget About Me I Love You
LPR: I don't know what you're going to do without me...
California: I want to come back. ACCEPT ME.
Nevada: I can't wait to leave. MISS ME.
Love: Maybe I tried too hard. Meet me halfway.
LSAT: Hurry up and get scored. The wait isn't doing my nerves well.
