Day 166

July 4^th

Today is America’s Birthday. Yay for America. Sadly I am not in America to celebrate with it. One thing that I have learned here is simply how much I love America. Seeing everything that most of the world’s population does not have, makes me even more appreciative of what we do have back in America. I do not want to wash over the problems that America still suffers from, but in America I feel these problems are tractable rather than impossible.

For some reason I am really tired today. Perhaps it’s the lack of proper nutrtition, perhaps it’s the really long days I have had these last few days, or perhaps it has to do something with my illness and high-intensity workouts might have taken it all out of me. So I slept in pretty late today, woke up didn’t do much of anything and then took a rather long nap. I think I will go to bed early tonight too. I miss America, but in less than a month I will be reunited with my beloved homeland.
