Stuff

There's so much to write about I don't know where to start.

1) Santiago is the host of the Caribbean Baseball Series. The Santiago team (Aguilas) are also national champs. Apparently Miguel Tejada played this season with the Aguilas! I saw him play!!! =]

2) February is Carnaval!

3) To return to stateside, I'm upset right now that the Asian Student Association is not listed as a sponsor of the "Community Discussion" at Amherst. There are no other words that that is FUCKED UP. Way to continue overlooking us.

4) We went to a rooftop party Saturday night. Shout out to the Haitians who throw the best parties.

5) More than I thought I'd be, I'm so tired of having the same conversation about being a Chinese girl. I'm not Chinese! And me being as identity conscious as I am, I would never settle for someone identifying me as simply Vietnamese. For the perpetual foreigners of American society, the hyphenated "-American" is crucial to recognizing who we are. I'm tired of explaining.

6) There's more, but I have tons of research to do for my history of dominican lit class.

Nos vemos luego.
