Insomnia

Just saw my previous blogs on facebook (aka notes) and it was pretty interesting to look back and read them since they were sort of like my diary pages interspersed with articles/stories/surveys that were of interest to me. Let me tell ya, you can learn a lot about the person from looking at their diary, but there's also some parts that are not there. For example, someone who read my notes would assume that I am a very depressed person, but in real life, that status changes and it is not my true status. I would like to think that I am a very dynamic person, not in an arrogant sort of way, but in a very multi-dimensional sort of way.
I mean I am a very idealistic person, I know that I want to be in the program Teach for America when I graduate from Penn. I also know that I'd really want to enroll in Johns Hopkins, Harvard or Colombia's Public Health programs. Then go abroad with Peace Corps. I would also like to complete some nursing education at a random school of my choosing also someday in the future. I can only pray to God that somehow I would have a positive impact on humanity because of the life that I am leading.
Which brings me to another aspect of my personality, I tend to be sort of religious. Somehow, over all twenty years of my life I have not once thought about being an atheist. I may have been a Buddhist, agnostic and wanted to be a Wiccan in different points of my life, but somehow, I knew without explanation that there is indeed a God.
I also tend to be very quirky in my own little way. For example, I am a pretty big history geek and I really love to wear historical costumes or just plain elaborate costumes. In fact, if I was taller I would really have liked to be a model. I also harbor the secret wish of being able to act in plays.
However, I also realize that I'm an over-achiever, this semester I am trying to tackle being on Penn for UNICEF's board, part of perspective debate program in philly, tutoring kids for writing at the writer's house, doing food stamps and working with UNI through my ABCS course. To top it off, I also have a job as a lab assistant and am actively involved in church groups. Let's see how long I can keep this up w/out going insane.
