Earthquake

I think this is important.

It won't be real for any of us, but I feel it's useful for us to get as close to it as possible so we can truly understand the pain that others are experiencing, and be thankful for our lives and their simplicity.

I just took two finals and I've been complaining about them all day. I have one more yet to come in a few hours, and life could be a whole lot worse.

It's raining here in Rome. The world is so big. Today I'm applying for a workshop in Houston this October for travel journalists. We'll see how it goes.
