For me, money is like…wearing a pair of skinny jeans. REALLY skinny jeans. It’s so tight that every step I take is just excruciatingly painful…and hurts my groin.
Every time I step outside my house is always a potential fatal blow to my bank account (which currently consists of $60). Lee’s…

HOLLER. I really love working with my org. LOVE. It’s...

I’ll do it soon.

OSCAR GRANT →
another article I got from Alejandro’s Facebook. smh.
RIP Oscar Grant →
I’m so flustered and disturbed by the verdict. This article is pretty biased, but definitely has some good points. I’m in solidarity.
I had a truly inspiring time with my organization today that reaffirmed why I am a Community Studies Major. The Oscar Grant case laid the icing on the cake. As long as I am a person of color, I believe the system will always be against me and people...
At 7:30 am
I was already sweating MAJOR BUCKETS.
It’s 9:30pm, and it’s still the same.
I’ve been complaining about the heat a lot, my bad. But really? It hit 102 today, and when I got to work, the AC wasn’t working. But… it got fixed just before it hit 102. thank goodness.
Finally.
Got an apartment. :).
pics and blog post later.
