I'm having some trouble with motivation. Rocky had it easy all he needed was some theme music and some guys face to punch in.. given some of this lack of motivation and fatigue has so to do with the little girl that's growing inside of me, but I'm worried that once she is born i won't change. honestly i am so nervous to be a mom.. i mean i know that i can do it and i know that Stephen is going to be a great father, it still kind of scares me.

Although i truly do hate living in the midwest and all the more so living in a college town i can't help but stop and appreciate all the cultures that are represented here. it really allows me to remember that there is a world outside of my own or that there is interest outside of the craziness of this "American dream"
so thank you Hsin Lin for taking the time to talk to me at the bus stop, thank you Jin for sharing meals with me, thank you Fatuma and Juan for inviting me into your home, thank you Stephen for teaching me your humor.
I don't know why anyone would choose to be blind to all the colors, shapes, textures, and tastes that this world has to offer.
