UC Davis Students Protest Fee Hike

Students from my school protesting the newly approved 32% tuition fee increase, yesterday at the Mrak hall. 52 people were arrested. The protests continue today.

If it goes on when I get back on Monday, I am joining them!

I LOVE YOU.

you make me happy just like that :)

My cousin called last night, I'm going to have another nephew in two weeks :) She even told me that Zach asks her everyday if "Auntie Louise is going to come here tomorrow?" Just the heartwarming attention that I needed. Hopefully I'd be able to visit them again during spring break or summer.

But anyway, my cousin brought up my receiving of my green card. And we got into discussion about my education. I told her about my thoughts of pursuing education back home where it was cheaper and faster and she and I brainstormed a bit. Going back does have its advantages, and not. But she told me to talk to my bio dad about it. Well see, the idea of it seems pretty good.

I remember back in 07 how I wanted to feel numb so I went out one cold autumn evening in just a sleeveless top and shorts and ran as fast and long as I could without stopping. Well, I found a new and improved way of achieving that numbing feeling, all I had to do was wear a t-shirt and cycle around my school campus. Add in the saddest songs you have and you're set to feel so numb by the end of it.

This week is a horrible week. It has been and it will be.

I need to get away after my darned paper tomorrow. Need to get away from all these. Where should I go to? A day trip alone far far away sounds so inviting, so tempting to just leave my books and exam and drive today. Tahoe's only 2 and a half hours away but it's cold there, I need the sun. But the idea of the lake sounds so appealing.

And I know you're going through a really tough time; something that goes far beyond the hardships that I've gone through. But I know that I may have no right to know what's troubling you, but do know that I care.

Anything I can do, I will. To be a listening ear, a provider, anything at all. I hope you know that I'm just here for you and though I may not know the circumstances you're going through, I'm willing to go through it with you. You are definitely not alone, so please my dear sweet one, pull your head high up and forget all the negative things. They are all transient, they all disappear after awhile and you'll find yourself back to your happy state; stronger and another hard situation experienced and overcomed.

I'm here for you.

I'm supposed to be studying but the fire alarm from the dorms next to my apartment is blaring, and it has been on for the last 10 minutes. The firetrucks just arrived and it's probably the 35432332 fire truck i've seen visit those dorms ever since I moved in. There seems to be one every other day, and on really bad days (for the people in the dorms) there'd be at least three fire truck visits in one day. Imagine having to evacuate the building every time the fire trucks arrive :P Thank God nothing's happened at my apartment complex so far.

(I'm gonna go out and be nosey and stand around with the dorm students for awhile.)

Another blissfully intoxicating weekend is over and I'm back to my own little "humble abode" to suffer from the midterm exams, and even more from being away from you.

Moving out and having a place of my own sucks. What good would it do, if I were away from you? :(

Someone's sick tonight and all I'd rather be doing is taking care of her and being by her side instead of listening to boring podcasts which wouldn't do me any good anyway. I wish I wasn't so far away :(

And when someone tells you that "anything can happen," believe them with all of your heart, because they're right. Anything CAN really happen :)
