I know I will learn and become stronger from these things I don't like here but I need to vent how I feel right NOW.
Things I hate.
when people talk "asian" to me. wtf is wrong with you?! and there are chinese-dominicans that live here. why are you so ignorant? i was speechless when this guy tries to speak to me in japanese and mandarin. if i was a guy i think he would have ended up with a bloody nose.
i feel like everyone wants to be on vacation BUT I DON'T WANT ONE! i miss Amherst (classes). i want a balanced experienced so i'm working but the entire system is frustrating... for example students cannot even explore the library stacks because someone "qualified" has to get my books for me.
things are so disorganized in classes and we never analyze or discuss anything. i'm fed up...
i hate have to be conscious when i go anywhere that i am a woman. the way women here are expected to look and carry themselves. the safety issues. the piropos.
and also, if you're reading this now, i probably miss you.
(i feel better...)

Phuongggg I miss you. :(
I wish you were here. So 5PAN isn't going as well as I expected and I'm kinda tired/frustrated. But we've been having the lectures/lunches with APA professor candidates and that's kind of exciting, minus the fact that the two that have gone so far haven't been that great. Sigh. Hm. Maybe I should put this in emails? Okay, I'll send you a long(er) email later. :)
hola!!
girl i completely feel you. i'm the only latina in my program, let alone a chicana. i get frustrated with the ignorance i encounter and having to explain shit all the time. but i've reached the point where i don't care. the system here is also frustrating as well, the classes are different and blah. don't worry though, we're made of tough skin.
