Love + America

I haven't updated anything on here in a while! well, today is not super exciting, I guess though. I really just have to study study study for a test later today. It so getting so hard to keep up with my homework AND tests! Ah!
Butttttt, hopefully this will start to come together soon! :) I've already got Sigma Phi Lambda going so that is awesome! I love my sisters!
Something I have been thinking about: Patriotism.
When I was in Spain it was obvious that, despite knowing they had flaws, they thought Spain was the greatest country ever to be a part of. That all had the  jerseys, the flags..... anything red and yellow in general lol  But here, is a different story. This past weekend was 9/11 and I didn't see any of extra "American Stuff" in stores. And I looked. In the end, they handed out about a million tiny flags on our way into the football stadium later that day, but I was still a little sad. I guess after seeing the amount of love the Spanish have for their country has made me a little jealous that we don't share that feeling about ours. So let me just say that I really love our country. It is not perfect in any way, but I do love the USA. I love the song Proud to be an American by Lee Greenwood...even tough it doesn't bother mentioning my dearest Florida lol.

If tomorrow all the things were gone,
I’d worked for all my life.
And I had to start again,
with just my family by my side.

I’d thank my lucky stars,
to be livin here today.
‘ Cause the flag still stands for freedom,
and they can’t take that away.

And I’m proud to be an American,
where at least I know I’m free.
And I wont forget the men who died,
who gave that right to me.

And I gladly stand up,
next to you and defend her still today.
‘ Cause there ain’t no doubt I love this land,
God bless the USA.

From the lakes of Minnesota,
to the hills of Tennessee.
Across the plains of Texas,
From sea to shining sea.

From Detroit down to Houston,
and New York to L.A.
Well there's pride in every American heart,
and its time we stand and say.

That I’m proud to be an American,
where at least I know I’m free.
And I wont forget the men who died,
who gave that right to me.

And I gladly stand up,
next to you and defend her still today.
‘ Cause there ain’t no doubt I love this land,
God bless the USA.

And I’m proud to be and American,
where at least I know I’m free.
And I wont forget the men who died,
who gave that right to me.

And I gladly stand up,
next to you and defend her still today.
‘ Cause there ain’t no doubt I love this land,
God bless the USA.
