As my friends and I sat around eating a dinner of roast chicken and potatoes in our London flat laughing at how silly the French are, I had a thought. I said to my friends, "we're all smart people--why don't we solve the world's problems?" And so we did. We each chose a developing nation, studied its political and economic systems, and identified the country's strengths and weaknesses. Then we made recommendations of how the country could improve. And so we began solving the problems of the world.
...okay...so maybe it wasn't my own brilliant idea to fix the world's problems...maybe it was an assignment... But we did have to study developing nations and solve their economic problems.
I'm nineteen years old and last week I had to find solutions for a small country's economic development issues.
My life is kind of ridiculous.
