Day 265: Asian People

September 22nd, 2011Today, my encounter with asian people was reinvigorated with the first day of classes here in my final Fall Quarter at UCSD. Tragic moments prior to this event as I clogged the toilet spilling a ton of toilet waste all over my bathroom. Cleaning it all up was not particularly fun, but as I proceeded my butt all the way over to HSS for my first ever Vietnamese class I realized this was the beginning of the end of my journey here. Tyler was hilarious when he was the only white person in the class and called out by the professor for not being “of heritage”. The teacher hilariously said if you’ve never been exposed to Vietnamese before this class is not for you, but instead recommending using “Rosetta Stone”. The only other white person in the class the teacher said belonged in Intermediate class which made me and Tyler laugh at in the back. The teacher called me out and said I should be in Intermediate but I had a discussion with her after class pleading that I needed the extra help. Combined with the fact that I already bought the non-returnable book, I convinced her to allow me to stay. Shortly afterward, I went to work while starving.

When work was over I visited Geetha and she bought me some pizza at Foodworx before we went to the Sixth College Visibility BBQ. It was false advertising to call it a BBQ when hot dogs were the only things there. I went home afterwards to do some fun Teach for America online activities before watching the Republican Presidential Debate. Ron Paul 2012. YEEE. Gary Johnson <24. Alexis came over to bother me during the debate as I cooked some delicious lasagna, and watched some Big Bang Theory with her afterwards. When all was said and done we got some delicious boba at TeaNMore, where I snapped a picture of a bunch of asians, representing essentially my day. When I got back I got some supplies at Von’s before busing over to Geetha’s place to hang out the rest of the night.
