I can only see out of one eye because my right contact was irritating me more than it was helping me see, so I took it out and temporarily stored it in my compact mirror case. I’ve kind of been staring at things for a while to make them focus.
Also I fell off my bike and landed flat on my ass. A Sierra Club guy across the street came over to help me. He was really nice, so I gave him a...

Because my Ethnic Studies GSI is pretty darn amazing, I have three quotes to share with you from discussion section today.
“Sometimes the richest things we carry are the hardest ground.”
“Journaling connects your heart to the words you already have inside of you.”
“We put labels on things to not give ourselves permission to do them.”

Dear male privilege,
Stop touching me without my permission. I don’t care if you’re cute and charming (ok maybe a little). You putting your hand on my arm or shoulder makes me uncomfortable.

When a white person asks "Why should I be punished...
zuky:
I can only say with sympathy, you’re already being punished: Listen to yourself. You have inherited a racial anxiety and apparent cognitive dysfunction which distorts your perception of the world and experience of humanity, and which dehumanizes your own heart more than it can ever do to we who form the great majority.

You’ll likely be gone all next fall, in a city I won’t visit til a year later. That means this semester might be the last time I see you for… 8 months.
So why is it still so hard to talk to you?
I suck at life.

Freaking out and about to cry because I just realized how very behind I am with my Alternative Breaks work since my co-leader is no longer in the program, and I am stuck doing a lot by myself.

tattoo
I went to Industrial today and consulted with one of the artists on a design for my phoenix tattoo (the initial sketch was gorgeous). He’s going to work on it this week, and I’ll go see it on Friday. I’ve scheduled a date for the actual tattooing in February.
I’ve always wanted to get this particular tattoo on my 21st, so why now? Frankly, I’ve got the money, and...

Been doing nothing but learning over the past few days, but with slow Internet access and a packed conference schedule, it’s been hard to update.

…that I can’t live with my mother/family after I graduate, even if I work in San Francisco. I need to move out.
You can’t tell me how to dress anymore.
You can’t tell me “good girls” come home at a reasonable hour, so how dare I be a bad Chinese daughter and walk through the door at 11 p.m. after going to a comedy show with my friends. Fuck that.
You...

It is 4 a.m., and I just finished the Asian & Pacifc Islander American Scholarship Fund (APIASF) application.
I also applied for an additional scholarship that provides $4000/year for two years for students dedicated to pursuing a career in law, public service, or government (HELLO!! ME!!). Although it’s specifically for juniors, I hope they at least consider me because I fully intend...

…that if you beat whipping cream and powdered sugar too much, it will turn into butter.
Learned the hard way, as I was trying to make frosting and over-beat the mixture.
*sigh*
Now I have to go buy a new carton of whipping cream tomorrow morning and finish assembling my cake.

…that CATs has done me a lot of good as a public speaker, and I was complimented as being “polished.”
However, I also learned that I tend to form really long period-less sentences when I am nervous/feeling under-prepared. Something to work on. :]

“We are two soon-to-be PhDs within Asian American Studies who want to think and write about what it means to be Asian American, but who struggle with the limits of academia, in the kinds of questions it allows and answers it provides. We are left wanting, as we struggle to reconcile our knowledges and our questions, our intellectual pursuits and our daily lives, our selves and our...
