Same World...Different Eyes

Netflix has been dropping some hot movies lately.  I am definitely trying to make this a Netflix weekend but I have way too much to do.  I should get started but I'm still cleaning the house and cant seem to stop. Ugh.  I have so much on my mind right now and I cant get anything accomplished because I'm too busy planning what all I have to do.  Truly sucks being obsessively organized. 

I was riding on the train yesterday and saw a group of foreign exchange students who were just as happy as ever.  And I couldn't help but feel resentful at how they are able to pursue their education with a clear mind and even their job search with a clear mind with the grants and free rides that so many of them get just for being a non-citizen.  But I'm living in this country, have put in years of work to make a living, have proven myself in college with more than just a high GPA and got nothing but a couple thousand.  So now I'm stuck working and taking classes since I cant pay the loans back, which makes me too busy to even look for a solid career that can pay for the loans.  Not sure I understand the way things are done here....or better yet, maybe I do.   

Its amazing how this is the same world but it looks so different through different eyes.
