Well contrary to my sincerest hope, Kerry lost the election. I was so mad and depressed at first. But that won't change the situation so there's no point in being upset. I do feel that the USA is now careening towards its destruction, which really makes me want to leave sooner. I really get mad at myself for not completing my BS earlier. I still have a good 2-3 years left. If I go to Tanzania without that it will really limit what I can do. My hubby is totally ready to go. He's never cared to stay in the US anyways and feels he could be doing alot more back home. The only reason we are here is because of my education. I do want to have some preparations in order in case we need to leave on short notice. So I'm applying for passports for myself and Zora & making sure we have all documentation in order. I swear if there is another "terror" attack or if this idiot invades another country, we are leaving immediately. I can always return here and finish school or finish up somewhere else. The 'perks' of life in the US are just not worth it anymore. The results of the election showed me more than ever that this is not my country, I am not welcome here and I don't belong. I am so disappointed and disillusioned with America now, and I don't see that changing.
