31 things I did this week:
- Had study hall at A's and wondered what the weird moaning sound in a neighboring apartment was. I said it was Chewbaca tied up in the closet.
- Wrote a paper on Chicana/o and Latina/o students and disengagement.
- Stayed on campus all night working on #2.
- Pulled a second all nighter Tuesday/Wednesday writing a paper on outreach (aka academic preparation or intervention) programs.
- Finished the quarter and first year in my program.
- Avoided blogging and fell behind on reading others' blogs.
- Replied to email just 'cause I was bored with my papers.
- Read lots of articles as pdf files on my computer.
- Went to four restaurants before finally being able to have dinner with Ome.
- Watched Finding Neverland and loved it.
- Read Las Batallas en el Desierto by Jos� Emilio Pacheco. Caf� Tacuba's Las Batallas is based on the book. I recommend both the song and the book.
- Tried to get the May haiku in order so I could finally post them.
- Picked up my cap and gown.
- Stopped by work to "work" and then celebrated a cool professor getting tenure with US students.
- Tried Red Bull for the first time.
- Tripped over my own pajama pants and fell in the kitchen. Ouch.
- Gave/received a pep talk from/to Machuca.
- Laughed at HP's misadventures driving from Monterrey to McAllen, Texas and kinda missed his punkass.
- Assured the woman who waxed my eyebrows that I was Mexican and not Japanese.
- Felt an earthquake and enjoyed it.
- Missed my parents (they're in Atlanta).
- Went to Disneyland for Grad Nite with Isabel and ran into people I knew from my former high school in the chaperone lounge.
- Pulled allnighter #3 for the week (sleeping at night is so overrated).
- Hung out with my cohort for a final end of the year gathering.
- Enjoyed a beautiful day on Friday for the first time in the week.
- Attended my first Muslim wedding and saw some of the MSA sisters without their scarves for the first time in years that I've known them.
- Was reunited with some of my favorite CPO slackers, Kim, Arshad and Cheryl.
- Went home for a little bit to play with the puppy, chat with the sister and check out the new carpeting.
- Went to East LA for Isa's graduation party.
- Graduated.
- Really, really, really loved the poem Kris wrote for me, hailunares.
