A little international perspective on neoliberalism and our US healthcare system.

Under the leadership of the Democratic Leadership Council (aka Third Way), today’s “Democrats” are the moderate Republicans of the 1990s. Please recognize that centrism (aka neoliberalism) is simply a more gradual, incremental concession to conservatism, but still a concession.

Yesterday, I went to help my neighbor with her barn duties. She has owned her horse Winni for almost the entire 14 years of his life and he is seriously just the sweetest horse I’ve ever met. He’s helped me a lot with overcoming my fear of horse riding after my accident two years ago. Because of him, I’ve started riding again and I really love every second I can spend with my neighbor and her horse at the barn.  

Winni is the horse in the middle of the last picture. The little girl is my neighbors two year old daughter. She had a blast sitting in the hay rack and cuddling with Winnis stable mate Endor.

Trank you so much for telling me all of this! I'm actually really happy with my decision. Right now I'm in my third semester of Japanese studies. At my university we are required to pass our Japanese language courses by a certain time in our studies (especially the first one) and I've come to realize that I would just need more time to really learn this language than I have at University. I'm still going to keep studying Japanese but just for myself and with the help of a friend of mine, but it's really not going to work out for me as a subject to study at University. So that's basically why I've decided that a change was necessary, even when some people in my life (for example my father) don't understand at all that sometimes the first thing you choose to do may not be the right thing for you in the end.

I'm sooooo happy for you for passing those tests! Great job ^^ I'm still really far away from graduating university, especially since I decided to change my subjects with the beginning of my next summer semester. So I'm always really excited for people who've made it through their studies because it's kind of a sign for me that I, too, will eventually get through it. :D

Thank you very much, and you know what?! I spent and wasted three years at a university pursuing a degree that I just couldn’t get. I ended switching completely and starting over with court reporting. Honestly, I feel a lot of people switch their degree plans. Sometimes what you thought you wanted to do at 18 isn’t what you feel like doing anymore at 21. Don’t feel bad at all for changing things. Ultimately what matters is that you’re happy doing what you’re doing. And if it’s what you WANT to do, then do the shit out of it. You know, one of my court reporting mentors said she did so bad in court reporting school that her teacher told her to give up and find something else to do, that she was wasting her time, not learning the skill fast enough. And guess what, she ignored that teacher and kept at it, and she graduated and ended up becoming the president of the Texas Court Reporter’s Association, which are the people who administer the CSR examination. So she took longer than some, she ended up being bad ass anyway :)

Let me introduce you to our beautiful little princess Chihiro, a three months old Akita, who moved into our home and hearts just about one and a half weeks ago. Even though she has only been a part of my family for such a short time, it already feels absolutely normal to have her around all the time.
