Especially people that I always wanted to know but never had the chance. I’m so excited that my senior project group is balanced, enthusiastic, level headed, and brilliant.
Here’s to making UNITE-LA proud!

“A policy that rests on the American military alone cannot by itself deliver the continuation of American primacy in Asia. We need to turn to diplomacy to convince an often difficult Chinese government to join in keeping the region prosperous and stable and to avoid the military clash neither of us can afford … [President Obama] and Kerry now need to try to “integrate” China more deeply into the global trade and commercial system and find a way to make it a more reliable partner on critical issues such as climate change and North Korea.”

“U.S. officials liken this new problem to the spread of cancer cells: Al-Qaeda nodes emerge in diffuse places, feeding off local issues and grievances. These cells have only a loose, ideological connection with what remains of the core leadership in Pakistan, but they are stubborn and toxic.”

This semester was so tough. To the point that I’ve woken up in the middle of the night for the past few nights, worried that I forgot to read a journal article or write a paper. I still have one last class on Wednesday, but I have officially completed all my work for the semester, so I will just be giving reviews on my classmates’ presentations.
Standing on this side of the 16 weeks, I can definitely say that I am better at writing, studying, managing my time, being less of a perfectionist, and prioritizing.
I have to be real, I cried a lot this semester. Once even in front of a professor, who was so kind and encouraged me. She really gave me the motivation I needed to end my semester as strong as I could. And she helped me see that I was capable but in a difficult situation. There came a point where I just went into survival mode. I had to put aside the fatigue and just get things done.
45 hour work weeks, 12 units, 2 clubs .. Never again, haha. And yet, I think my GPA this semester will be mighty shiny. I’m proud.
And I’m tired.

I emailed my professor to ask if I could watch his lecture online, since I was too ill to sit through the entire 3 hours and 20 minutes. So cool that I can watch class form my bed :).
