I have probably talked about this before, but it´s becoming an all consuming thought in my life - I have so much to learn! I need to relearn everything I ever learned in pre-university schooling, particularly history. I swear I learned nothing about history in school. And when I did, I learned it in a way that allowed me to forget it easily. It made no impression on me. History is generally taught in such an abstract "on this date so and so did this" blah blah blah that it makes little to no impact on the way people think or understand things. At least for me and many people I have talked to it hasn´t. I think relearning history was one of the main things that changed my course of thinking in college. Had I not learned about this untold history of US involvement in Central America, I might have stuck with psychology...But anyway. I just feel like I should be reading constantly because I don´t know so much. I need to learn about geography and languages and history and the World Wars and international law and domestic law and social change and so many other things. And economics. Bleh. Ugh. Ok, enough of that rambling. I fly out in less than a week. Holy crap!
