It seems so weird that whenever I'm a freshmen something in our nation goes wrong. Yes I'm speaking about 9-11 and the whole New Orleans hurricane thing. I feel so helpless here in Minnesota....and I also feel very lucky....and somewhere in my heart I feel so very angry.

I feel like I should do something, go down there give them hugs, but I totally understand that giving them sympathy is not what they are in total need of right now.

My feeling of luckiness comes from the fact that I have always lived in places...well only one place, Winona. I barely have to worry about tornados, floods are rare, and well a hurricane, earthquake, or volcano are not even a thought. I have never had to feel massive loss. I have lived in the middle of nowhere basically so I don't have to worry about terrorist attacks and such. I am so greatful and then again I feel so stupid...like I'm the rich bitch or something.

My angry spawns from our government not acting quicker. We have to get there NOW not tomorrow. There is no tomorrow for people who have no food or water. There is no later for people who are stuck in places with filth up to thier knees. We are a god damn superpower with more money then most people why is it so hard to get the money there? Why are the people who used to live in one of the most historic cities in this country looking like aids ridden africans?

I guess this has shaken up my world along with everything else. I didn't even know that this was all happening till a couple of days ago....I feel lost and angry. I also had a very strange dream about George Bush last night so maybe my internal hate for him is starting to get to me.

Enough of this, I need to be happy.
