SCHOOLS OUT FOREVER!!

okay, now for whatever i was thinking about

when it comes to political things and foreign policy and all of that smart people stuff I am clueless. I have no excuse consitering the New York Times lands on my doorstop every morning but the only sections I read are arts and leisure, sunday styles, metro and the new york time magazine. I used to be the president of Model UN and I followed politics really closely but now I don't really have the energy - which i know is pretty bad, but I'm not too proud to admit that i can be pretty clueless at times.

Anyway, so i drive past thre schools on my way to school. One is a catholic school that my ex-best friend goes to, so i kind of scowl at it and get on with life. So the other day my brother rob and i were driving to school and listening to Jewel and rob commented on lyric that I've always been a fan of

"There are plenty of people who pray for peace
but if praying were enough it would come to be"

We got stuck at a light and we were face to face with a billboard that said "St. Thomas Aqainus High School Prays for Darfur" which I had never noticed. Rob would have been more inclined to consitering he was part of the huge campaign for darfur that our school had - tee shirts, donations and a huge battle of the bands to raise money. I thing we finished over ten thousand dollars - all donated to savedarfur.

i felt the snob in me creep up - they were praying and we were raising as much money as we could...

and now i feel horrible about myself
