Mood: confused Fact of the day: In 1962, Illinois became the first state to repeal its sodomy laws. event of the week start of school...sigh...
I got back from Minneapolis only last night, and because the dorms were not open till today, I had to spend yet another night sleeping on the floor, in a borrowed sleeping bag. Sigh. My back hurts. And I'm so tired now. I wish I can just lie back in my bed and read a book and relax or something. But too bad, I have work due tomorrow again and I have to finish them tonight. Sigh.
I really wish I can take some time to reflect about my trip for the past week too. There's so much information I need to really think through. This trip really blew my mind. Really opened my eyes, expanded my mind, and set me thinking about a lot of things.
It's just so overwhelming. The talks I've attended, discussing gender identity, homophobia, Aids and so on. The people I meet: gays, lesbians, transsexuals, bisexuals, heterosexuals with Aids and so many more. Their life stories, their jokes, their personalities, their charm. Omigod, I feel like I've just been exposed to so much information, I don't even know where to fit all that into my little brain.
Today, I met up with Li and a few other people for lunch, and I felt like I had so much I wanted to share with them, but I didn't know where or how to start. Argh. It's kinda fustrating....like now, all I can say is how overwhelmed I feel, but I still cannot put into words what I've learnt from this trip.
Maybe tomorrow I will feel better. Maybe tomorrow I will finally be able to say what it is I want to say..
