Lisa and I relocated to a cafe in K-town called Koffea. I'm having the most bitter iced coffee float ever to exist for humankind, and I've finally gotten through a draft of a factsheet for SB 1301 (the CA Dream Act). I don't know why, but working this week has been SO SLOW.
Gchat convos with Scott and Nessies have made things go by quicker (Interns, if you're reading this, please use gchat! Then we can all chat together). I hope I can dress properly for the gala tomorrow. I love this program and appreciate the opportunity to be at the gala, but frankly, networking is exhausting. As I told Scott, being myself is exhausting.
NAPAWF is great though, Lisa was the go-to person for all kinds of venting from all kinds of people today. Ageist stories, premature marriages...hahah and all amidst the seriousness of Propositions 4 and 8, and SB 1301.
I kind of feel like week 4 is going to waste though, because I've been much more unproductive than in previous weeks. I think it's a sense of being overwhelmed by all this work at this point.
Too many taiko gigs have tired me out, physically and mentally.
Completed one LT interview (my aunt), and Nessa and I are currently trying to secure the second.
Okay I feel like this was the most pointless post, but hey! Two per week it is.
I leave you with a picture of the man of the week:
I really like "A Milli," but don't listen to or read the lyrics because they're sexist. Welcome to modern day hip hop. Although, I think I'm in love with T.I.
Just to make this post useful, here are some surprising stats:
- Although many opponents argue that undocumented students are detracting from state funds and resources, the truth is that undocumented AB 540 students alone contribute over $64 million to the UC system - just by paying tuition!
- Additionally, these undocumented students contribute to the economy when they pay for books, housing, and transportation.
- In a single semester, each undocumented AB 540 student can contribute over $10,000 to the state’s economy.
