Hi! Here I am finally in bed. Yesterday I went to my friend house to a sleepover. We were all exchange students and he organized it a long time ago. It was fun: we played games, we are chips and we made pizza, it was so good, and we stayed around the fire.
We really had a good time together and this is awesome and sad at the same time because we can not do it anymore because we all have less the two months here, and then we will go back to our home country.
Around the fire, two friends and me, talked about life and believes, America and his history, diversity and identification. We talked about everything and we express our thoughts and we listened to what the others had to say.
Now I don't remember everything we said but one of the things I remember is: when you describe a friend if he/she is "black" you said it or if he/she is "white" you don't say it in the description. At first I said no, this is not true, but then I realized it because I do it too, or if I don't do it there is always the question: Is he/she "black"or"white"?
It's ok, I mean, it's justified because of the history behind it.
Another subject was religion, I'm agnostic or atheist, I still have to figure it out. We talked about the representation of God, like a old white man with a white long bear and white long hair and I said: if you believe that God is an upper power, why do you represent it like an old man?
Who knows.
Also about it I said how can you believe in something that has a topic changed in millions of years like, before God was always mad and angry and now is a kind man who loves everyone, or the different things you have to do wrong to go to hell. Everybody would be there now if it didn't change.
