Joy of Zen

I just wrote a letter to this asshole (Chancellor Reed) without cussing, so now I’m going to cuss. This stupid fucking prick is VOLUNTARILY taking MORE MONEY from the CSUs to give back to the other asshole, the governor actor. Oh, and I should point out that we were already given budget cuts, that was bad enough. The CSU didn’t receive 215 million dollars it was supposed to. That amount shouldn’t have even been taken either.

The additional money this fuckhead is giving is over 31 MILLION dollars.

I am so pissed off right now, you have no idea.

If you could PLEASE take a moment and send him a fax, click here then click on Take Action. They have a form letter thing, so you don’t have to make it personal (although that does work better). We are trying to get him to rescind this terrible decision.

So. Pissed.

I’ve decided that working 7 days a week while being enrolled in 12 units is pretty damn hard. It’s a good thing I don’t do it regularly.

I don’t think I’ll ever feel caught up with school this quarter.

I hope you peeps are well. I’m gonna make a youtube vid next week and go live on blogTV w00t.

I’m tired.

I got a crappy 82% on my midterm last night… so now I have an 89% in the class Thankfully that’s an A-… but I dunno where that’ll go. Since I did so bad on that, I thought my midterm today would be 20 million times worse. I think I got a B, but I’m not sure. There were 28 mult. choice questions, so they were sorta worth a lot :/ Then 2 short answer and 1 essay. I was 2nd to last one to finish. Sigh.

My brain is much. I was gonna take a nap, but kerouac came on, so I’m there. Sigh, he just ended. Now my mission is to stay awake. Still chatting with some peeps in there though. I think I started typing this like 45 minutes ago haha.

I still have another midterm I’m doing next Monday. And work, and other school work and…

I’m not gonna go in to explaining why I’m still up even though I gotta work in the morning… but…

Earlier I was at Cahuenga and Sunset and I saw the Hollywood sign. I looked at it and thought That looks like the Hollywood sign... Is that a fake sign? I thought it was fake because I could see it so clearly over on the hill, I swear that never happens. It was just strange. Looked surreal.

Yeah, what an exciting post huh?

Okay, I’ll add a lil’ more… helping MissTruly with a cookie order on weekends (the same cookie order Catherine is helping her with during the week).

Yeah, I’m wide awake, this is no good. SO tempting to go to my addiction on BlogTV sigh. Okay, I just went to copy a link. If I’m up at this time of night, I usually end up here. They stay up so freaking late. I usually go to bed before them and they are mostly in Central and Eastern time zones.

I hope I fall asleep by 2

The other day on campus I saw a guy, looked in his low-20s, who was walking around but didn’t seem to know where he was going. He was blind and was using his cane and taking small steps and didn’t seem which direction to go. I decided once I got to him, I’d offer help. My heart just sunk for the guy. Completely lost in the dark with hundreds of people speeding by. I’ve seen a couple other blind people master the campus, so I am guessing this is his first quarter.

As I got closer, the two guys in front of me tried to dodge his cane, but one accidentally bumped it. He said sorry to the blind guy and they kept going. They were about five big steps ahead, and the blind man turned toward them and quietly asked if they knew which way it was to the food court. At this time I was right next to him. The two guys could’ve pretended they didn’t hear and kept going, but they walked back and helped him.

That was just completely awesome. I felt a little renewed faith in humanity at that point. And I went in to work still feeling pain for the man who was so lost, but happy that there are still people out there (other than me) willing to help and actually give a damn.

And other small random acts of kindness that are pretty effortless can make someone’s day (or night) too. Last night when I was leaving campus, I got in the elevator in the parking lot. The one next to it has been broken for almost the whole year, and this one is slow as fuck and makes crazy ass sounds (the permit expired 2/15/07…illegal??). So if you miss this elevator it’ll be a few minutes that feel like FOREVER until it comes back.

The door was almost closed when I saw a guy (who I’ve had in a class but I don’t think he recognized me) make a run to the elevator in desperation. It’s late, around 9:40 at night, and you just want to go HOME!! So I stuck my arm between the doors so he wouldn’t miss it. He said THANK YOU SO MUCH! So relieved he made it. I like when little stupid things like that can totally make someone’s day.

Since I’m talking about all this feel-good stuff, I should pimp out a blog to you. It’s called Operation NICE. My online pal, Mary’s friend does this blog. And it’s spiffy, and I should link it in my sidebar.
