Piti, piti, wazo fe nich li

So I had my interview today. It went pretty well. I'll know by next week whether I got the job or not. The Van Andel Institute is pretty awesome. The designer of the building was brilliant! The lab is set up with a full window ceiling so, unlike any other lab, there is sunlight. Woohoo. I hope I get it.


I also went to the January series today. Paul Rusesabagina spoke today. He's the guy that Don Cheadle portrays in Hotel Rwanda. If you haven't seen that movie, you should. He basically gave a recap of what the movie shows, but then added that the United States(and probably other developed countries) has apologized for standing by while genocide was going on but it is still going on...in Darfur, in the Congo, in Uganda, and many other countries. That's something to think about.

I've been thinking more and more about getting out of North America. I'm kind of sick of it. I don't really know how I will do it though. It might have to wait 10 years or so. But hopefully the time will come when I can experience a place that has more appreciation for cultural diversity(not that Canada doesn't but Canada is still very much like the United States, and I don't appreciate that).
