hotel rwanda

apologies for the lack of updates. i didn't want to just have short random posts, so i decided to just not blog at all. but a review of the last week has been group research presentation, making sucralose syrup, registering for classes (such as salsa ensemble), Ai's graduation dinner, YOYO! at taste of asia, wells talent show (eating tom-flavored peanut butter), china house calligraphy and lunch tonight, i went to cassie, brett, and manassee's all-campus orchestra concert. not half bad, although that second piece they played was pretty bad...they had lots of trouble ending and coming in together. the solution? airbowing! hahahahahaha jk cassie. anyhow, i think if i were to do all-campus, i wouldn't practice much and wouldn't make the orchestra sound any better. anyhow, since it'll still be monday night, i can't take it. after that cassie, connie, tyler, elizabeth, joe, sung and i all went to domo. mmm. o! i still have some sushi. breakfast tomorrow :) dessert: ice cream wrapped inside dough. delicious and as fun as laughing at the mma dvd was, the highlight of the night really had to be watching hotel rwanda. it really educated me on the rwanda genocide and has made me question the world i live in. how could this huge problem have gone on and nothing happen? why wasn't rwanda made a bigger issue? how does the bush doctrine fit in with all this, and is it better than the policies that resulted from the Somalia debacle? educational, touching, well-made movie. highly recommended.
