Man I dominated Finals!!!!!! THis has to be least stressful set of finals,ahhhhh why can't it always be like this. Ironically this quarter overall was one of the most stressful. I practically lived on campus, and I camped out in the art studio more times thanI want to remember.

Strangly, after takeing 18th century British Lit, I grown to hate Europeans. How am I going to go to Italy now ? There is been centuries worth of European discouses of colonization, exploitation, and domination. Argg Europeans are evil. And of couse worse of the worse - Orientialization. It seems Europeans think  every asian female is a subservient, passive sex slave. Well... some are. Esp, in Irvine is seems. Someone mentioned something about drunken slutty Asian girls there. Stevieeee you should head over there for Spring break

It's so fokin' cold in Davis. I haven't been able to feel my feet since Thanksgiving. I walk to on two big icicles attached with a pair of 10 smaller icicles.

Oh my gawd!!!! I finally went to see the chuck close exhibit at the sf moma. Incredible!! I was soo excited, like really excited. Art can be arousing people, it's possible. It was so sad we had to leave at the end of the day. One day is not enough to absorb all the art there. I could live in there for a week and still not have enough time to stare at everything. When I'm in front of a piece, its like zobie status. Don't talk to me, don't look at me, don't even be near me. I'm kind of a bitch about that. But it's like a spiritual experience. I can only correlate the experience with Bernini's Extacy of St. Teresa. ahhh. Good , good times. Next stop hopefully will be the sf moca, de young, and gheary street. I think I'm going to be a puddle on the floor. sooo wonderful.

The only complaint I have is the museum gift shop. They sell absolute crap but it's expensive crap. Of course being a loser ass tourist I bought into the hype and bought crap from the gift shop. I spent 20 bucks on a Kandisky calendar. I basically spent 20 bucks for 12 sheets of paper.

 To quote Dan, CalPIRG has taken over my life. I have 10-13 hour days on campus. Every break and piece of precious free time I have goes into PIRG. I even think about it at night, planning and organizing in my dreams instead of actually sleeping restfully. I don't think I'm obsessed rather overwhelmed with coordinating.  It doesn't help that the powers of calPIRG change their minds at the very last minute. Thank gawd the co-coordinator has her phone back!!!

Props to my few good interns. You know who you are!! I would quit here and now if I didn't have them. Hopefully we can rouse those other lazy asses into action. Things are so crazy that I drove through the most hellish of freeways (80, 5) to get to Sacramento to get a polar bear costume ., it's not for halloween either... We got lost so many times; at one point we were on our way to LA.

I think the energy campaign is going to be ambitious and host an energy fair. Goo turbine power, hybrids, and photovoltaic panals. Gawd I sound like a solar nerd.

!!!!!!!!!Artic Awareness Days 10/20 & 24!!!!!!!!!! Tell your congressmen to vote against drilling in Anwr. No on BUGET RECONCILIATION BILL. It's fast and easy and you're helping to save the Artic Wildlife Refuge ---http://www.nrdcactionfund.org/arcticphotos/action.asp?step=2&item=52877 ----

Arnold Shwarzenegger invited UC Davis CalPIRG core members to come to his solar conference today!! He wants to hear our input about the issues. I've been working on the Renewable energy campaign since last school year and I can't go . This would have been the pinnacle of my work. I'm bumed out especially since I'm coordinating the entire campaign this year. But then again how am I suppose to ditch two art/art history classes I'm teaching???

It's amazing that I'm like obessed w/ renewable energy. Last year when I was working on the campaign I was more apathetic. I was motivated by what had to be done rather than the cause itself. And this year it's like I want to do all these renewables  like make a solar pizza oven, bring in solar pannels and lobby for the village in Davis that would be 100% renewable energy!!

Amazingly enough I think this is going to be a productive and fun school year for once. I think it's because I've finally reconciled with the idea that I'm stuck here  and I might as well make the most of it.

I feel like it's the start of something new. Maybe something glorious. THe only hard thing is to let go of my baggage. And cough commitment issues.

Does that stuff air-born work? I think not. I took it when my throat started =hurting. Hours later my throat is still hurting. I shouldn't have taken it, I would have been happier b/c I'm still sick but at leat I didn't drink that nasty stuff. In water it tasted like diluted orange juice.

Ohhh the Chinese Ballet company is coming to Berkeley! I might go and see one of their shows.
