long time no post.

Hello blogo-world:


I've mainly come back to say that I've read 4 books this August.


The Hunger Games
To Kill a Mockingbird
The Help
East of Eden


----

And, I'm glad I read them all. They were wonderful.

I'm especially glad I read East of Eden. Full of a lot of beauty.

However, I still don't really know why there was so much of the Hamilton history in it. Looking back, it just felt uncessary.

Did I try hard enough?
What if I didn't?

Saturday. April 17.

I woke up early. I showered. I came to Starbucks because it's walkable and I spent waaay too much money at Kopi's earlier this week.

Starbucks reeks of high school. Of skipped classes and stolen time. It feels like the time I spent trying to be someone else. That's the real reason I don't like coming. Not because of the bad politics and worse coffee (burnt!!), but because I remember watching her sit there, the small passionfruit ice tea between us, wishing I could be more like her. Funnier. Cuter.

I'm done with this unnecessary association. I'm done wishing I were someone else.

There are much, much bigger things to wish for.

This is Starbucks I went to this morning.

I have taken 12 official Sociology courses:

Intro to Sociology

Sociology of Religion

Social Problems

Social Thought

Social Stratification

Global Impact: US in the World

Race and Ethnicity

Practicum in Sociology

Research Methods

Seminar in Sociology

Social Context in Community Development (with the wonderful Dwight Jackson)

And 3 courses that were very similar to Sociology:

Intro to Communications

Intro to Conflict Transformation

Intro to Women's Studies

All emotional craziness and paralyzing fear aside, I have prepared to the best of my ability.

I live and breathe this.

I will pass this test.

I feel like Easter finally came for me.

Two days late, but a Resurrection Day nonetheless.
