Paper 3

I'm a woeful 3% into my last paper for this semester. And yes, it is due tomorrow. Horrors. 

But, you have to read / see this: 

In South Africa, they have a phrase called Ubuntu. Ubuntu comes out of a philosophy that says, the only way for me to be human is for you to reflect my humanity back at me. But if you're like me, my humanity is more like a window. I don't really see it, I don't pay attention to it until there's, you know, like a bug that's dead on the window. Then suddenly I see it, and usually, it's never good. It's usually when I'm cussing in traffic at someone who is trying to drive their car and drink coffee and send emails and make notes. So what Ubuntu really says is that there is no way for us to be human without other people. It's really very simple, but really very complicated. (TED Talk Chris Abani Muses on Humanity)

this one is to this guy: to his incredible sense of humour, ability to be completely unjudgemental and for how he handles every situation.
I know that I might not know all of you. But for our few shared moments, and memories that could in all probability be just mine - I admire you. I adore you and I and love you.
