Reflections

It's been ok so far. I really have to put my old blogs here; but I'm freakin' busy with work.

Last Friday (forgot to put in the blog) I did a campus tour for a man and his daughter from L.A. Now, not Lagos (my hometown, we call it L.A. haha) but Los Angeles, California. They were an amazing couple, and it was the best time I've had in a long time.

Cassie was disabled, and looking to enter university after 12th Grade next year. Her dad, Bill, very nice, down-to-earth guy, and we talked about so many things on the way. I'll write more on this later. Anyways two hours later, at the end of the tour, I had to say goodbye to them, and it was a sad moment. They were such good people, and I really hope to see them again in the future, however unlikely it may be.

I walked back to class in a sombre mood; thinking about my life, and how much I take for granted. How much we all take for granted. I spent the weekend studying, preparing my project, listening to Death Cab for Cutie (thanks, Kara) and Tracy Chapman. It was a good weekend, much better than jumping around drunk and getting into trouble.

My friend Carlos left for Montreal on Wednesday. He never made it there. I was wondering why he wasnt on msn or anything, but had no clue. Well, he showed up at my place Saturday evening and told me about his car crash. he walked out of the van's ruins without any injury. So, Wednesay afternoon could easily have been the last time I would have ever seen him. That's how life is.

You have to enjoy every moment, and live it like it's your last. Even a boring lecture could be your last moment, so don't throw it away. Enjoy your friends, and family, and the random you met at the crosswalk, 'cause they could be the last people you set your eyes on while you're still here. Cherish every minute, and love everyone like they were your brother or sister. I wish people could see things this way - won't the world be a much better place?
