Just sitting at the airport...

It's ironic that I'm blogging right now, just a tad funny I suppose since I'm about to embark on another adventure without updating about my last adventures...

In any case, I'm about to board a plane to Vegas. Thats right Baby, vivaaaaa las vegassss. My first but hopefully not my last trip here. As I'm getting used to traveling, I feel that I become less and less anxious... Packing doesn't take me as long and anxiety doesn't hurt me as much.... But then again im only talking about traveling domestically. No amount of domestic traveling can possible prepare me for traveling to Paris, Seoul, or Kathmandu.

Speaking of anxiety, I took my French final today. A few weeks ago I decided to take the class pass no pass (meaning I had to have a 75% or greater for a pass, I believe) and although I doubted my decision, I sure didn't today. I've been studying for this exam several hours a day and yet I still could not come to grips with it and FEEL prepared. I've been nauseous and had to force myself to eat at least one meal per day, things just wouldn't go down and refused to stay down. All in all, it's been a bad week for my health. Not sure if my scale is broken, but if it isn't, I lost 5 pounds in one week, which is all bad.

Side note, my flight was supposed to leave at 740 but I will be waiting until 840.... This is the 6th time in a 24-hour period that southwest has changed its mind about this flight. Where is the transparency???? What's going on????


T-minus 9 days now..... Before i must put my French skills to the test.... So what will I do in the interim you ask?
August 10-13 Vegas
August 13-15 Los Angeles
August 15 Catching a flight back to Oakland and pack and grab dinner
August 16 Moving out of the summer sublet
August 16-18 Prepare to leave
August 19 It's D-day!!!

By the way, if you are interested in sending me off, let me know! I would love the tearful and joyful goodbye :)


Another side note/ question: why is so easy to talk to strangers but so difficult to talk to people you actually know? The conundrums of life indeed.

Shoutout to Janice

Oh Janice, young child with almond eyes, why do you look like a nut, when you smile? Your round head and pale skin, I think you look like a fresh peanut. Your "mama hang" whine is fresh and refreshing But your smell is not. Why oh why, does Janice smile with almond eyes?

Obtainable Goals: Conquering the RSF & Food Finds & Forever21 order

I've decided to switch back or rather add some more easily obtainable goals. One of which is to try every single Group-X exercise class offered by the RSF (the campus gym) at least once by the end of the semester or at the very least, this summer -- although I must say, the caveat might be the aqua classes given I don't have swimwear here and classes in Hearst Gym.... In the past, I have tried: Bollywood -- quite fun but the steps can get complicated Cardio Kickboxing -- whew, what a work out, I couldn't even make it through the whole session Some yoga class but I can't remember which one -- it was so slow, I almost fell asleep This semester, I have tried: Nia -- quite fun, the instructor was super nice and it was a lot about grounding yourself and finding yourself Toning Express -- quite intense and quick too, only 30 minutes! This week alone, I have tried: Power Yoga -- Not bad, not too rigorous either -- there was a focus on aligning your breath with you...

Re:My Last Post & It Gets Better & Goodbye Friend & Health

I apologize for the incompleteness of my last post. I was quite upset when it happened suddenly. Sigh. Oh well, life goes on. Word of warning, most likely, I don't have your (or anyone's) phone number. Please text/call me sometime :) ___ Regarding: It Gets Better We had a discussion on Chela Sandoval's differential consciousness in class on Thursday. In the most simplest terms, differential consciousness refers to the "practitioner’s ability to read the current situation of power and self-consciously choosing and adopting the ideological stand best suited to push against its configurations, a survival skill well known to oppressed peoples." It is the ability to think and operate in different gears because of the limitations inherent in a singular mode of thinking. My professor then proceeded to briefly discuss the "It Gets Better" Project that derived out of the suicides of teenagers who had been bullied because of their sexual orientation a...
