I wanted to let you know that I am planning to spend a year at Holden after I graduate and take the bar exam!<BR/><BR/>Much love,<BR/>Rebeccarebeccafffblog.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4678644931642801103.post-49330177930300374732008-04-23T20:13:00.000-07:002008-04-23T20:13:00.000-07:00Isn't it remarkable how we can be so different and the same all at once compared to how we were in college? I imagine that your time(s) in India have been visceral examples of that. I love your blogs!

Wow!! I think Us citizens don't need to go around apologizing for their government's actions. And people who blame the US for all the ills in the world are well, subscribing to popular rhetoric. We don't go around accusing Chinese citizens for Tibet. Though Indians do get blamed for outsourcing :P.<BR/><BR/>I really liked reading your perspective on the whole thing.Over Ratedhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18159322765446103882noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4678644931642801103.post-70900231263867940622008-04-23T03:05:00.000-07:002008-04-23T03:05:00.000-07:00Right on, Bethany. I've been there too! I think that the "mea culpa" stage was important for us developmentally, and I don't regret a moment of it. Still, I'm also glad that our perspectives have been able to shift and grow to accomodate the range of our experiences, lest we grow up to be middle-aged conspiracy theorists wearing sandwich boards and groping at strangers in the subway. Or we could have multiple ulcers from the "how can we sleep at night with this guilt on our heads?" brand of ethics we used to subscribe to. Or serious interpersonal problems from our perpetual level of self-righteous rage. Now, we bathe more but self-medicate less! Thanks for your thoughtful reflection.
