I was on my way to the library at school today, when a young man stopped and asked my to sign a petition to end the war in Iraq. Not a problem, gladly signed and while chatting with him, he asked if I was from the US and when I said yes, he got really excited and asked me to come to an anti-war meeting sponsored by the Socialist Worker because they would love to have an American there. Unfortunately, I had to get home so couldn't make his meeting. You just don't know how exciting this is for this "mature" (that's university language for really old) student.
I love my new life here!!
