This semester I am in International Law, the class is amazing and extremely interesting. We learn about treaty law, customary law, humanitarian law, environmental law etc. It is just amazing.

The only problem is now I despise America so much more than I did before. We have learned about all the laws that America has broken since 9-11. Learned about the stupid reservations that America makes on treaties by holding it next to the Constitution and if the treaty does anything above and beyond it, well then America refuses to do it... (like taking reservation to the death penalty for children in the treaty rights of the child, everyone else signed to stop it and the US said since the constitution didn't say that we couldn't put children to death then we couldn't sign that part) gah!!!! and I am reading a book about Guantanamo Bay which makes me even more angry, and once I finish the book you all will probably get an entire blog rant.

This class just makes me more and more ashamed to be an American I hate to say. We think we are so moral and just, but we aren't. So I have looked at other countries nationalizaion laws. I was thinking Canada, but New Zealand or even Sweden would be ok. Japan is looking good too...

Time will only tell though, maybe a new admin will give me a better outlook on Amierica, and if not I guess I will be doing grad work abroad and staying there.
