Holy fuck, I forgot there was such a thing as diversity!
I need to get out of Utah.
For various reasons, too. Here at my school not only is everyone different countries and ethnicities, everyone speaks different languages and practices different religions. In terms of languages, we have Oromo, Cambodian, Polish, Russian, Spanish, English, Thai, Korean, Vietnamese, Chinese (we have a class on this now), German, you name it, we have it. And we practice religions ranging from Christianity to Catholicism to Islam to Agnosticism to Mormonism to Taoism to Wicca to Buddhism to Russian Orthodox to Atheism and everything else in between.
The fact that we've all been thrown together and forced to come together or die apart because of IB is what has made us restrain ourselves to the point that we have achieved such harmony between us all. That's why no matter how many times I hear religion rants, I disagree with them, because that is not my experience with these wonderful people of faith at all. If anything, their faiths all seem to add to their convictions, in a very good way.
On the plus side, though, I imagine it must be nice in Utah. Here in Colorado we have mountains, forests, deserts, and a wildly erratic climate. How is it over there?
