Humans are self destructive by nature. Some are more than others but everyone has that fault in them. And it seems like we hurt the ones we love the most.
I hurt someone I love deeply today. As cliche as it sounds, knowing that my actions caused someone so much pain hurts even more.
I need to do something to make it go away both for me and for this other person.

SUMMER ABROAD WITH THE GAYS
We are trying to host a foreign student for one month this Summer. The idea came up when my co-worker Janet was talking about the students she has hosted and whatnot (you might have read the entry about the Japanese students at Gucci). It's a program that the Multi Cultural Center here at the university has for foreign students who want to improve their English skills.
Janet referred me to "Ms Volunteer" who coordinates the "host parents". By the time I called her, Janet had already talked to her about my "situation" so she was very upfront about it. Although she would love to have us be part of the group, she was not aware of the Program's guideline and that it was up to "Ms Program Director" to select the families. She gave me Ms Program Director's phone number and informed me that she was already aware of my "situation". We talked a little bit more about the students and whatnot and her only concern about us is if the student would be comfortable with this "situation".
So I emailed Ms Program Director last Friday but I still haven't heard from her... I have a feeling it will be a no but if that's the case, would it be discrimination?
