• Got two hours of sleep after helping food prep and packing.
• GOT WOKEN UP BY MY MOM AT 6AM HOLY EFF. To talk. Because she thought I would be up. At 6am..
• SASC SI training on Saturday. 
• Rushed to the airport and almost missed my flight. I was the last person to get on the plane. WOOOP. 
• Got picked up by le BBQ to go to Mr. Nowak’s retirement party. AHHH. One of the few reasons I would come back to Grove from time to time to visit. Having 38 years of students all come together, oh my dang. 
• Whatta crazy night, lol.
• Came home the next morning to finally meet my aunt and cousin from PARIS!! It’s like being united with my long lost relatives, literally.
• And came home to surprise my dad for Father’s Day. :)
• It was nice to be with just family. Not only my parents, but finally being able to be with family that isn’t my immediate family.
• I grew up not knowing most of my relatives (especially any of my cousins) since my family was the first to come to America. It was nice to finally have a cousin that is somewhat my age to hang out with. I LOVE MY COUSINNN. I LOVE MY FAMILY. 
• French people are interesting! My cousin has an accent!! He doesn’t know English too well as French so communicating was really interesting! Hahaha. 
• Ate good food and went hella shopping around to all over the place on Sunday. It’s been a while since I shopped, I got some stuff heh.
• Universals Studios today! IT WAS FUNNN. Then went shopping some more all the way until now. ..which is midnight. 
• I’m eggghausted. Like no other.
• I’m a little sad I wasn’t able to see anyone being home this time but it’s okay! I will be back soon enough.
• AND I AM MORE SAD THAT I WASN’T ABLE TO GET 7LEAVES. :( This never happens!! lkadsjflkdasfj.
• I got all of the jobs I interviewed for!!! One for Berkeley’s Haas School of Business for the Center for Nonprofit Organizations and Public Leadership department and the other for the Human Resources department of Berkeley’s Residential Student Services Program. I think I’ll only be accepting one — Berkeley’s Haas School of Business. NO TIME FOR TWO JOBS THIS SUMMER AND NEXT YEAR. :( 
• I have hella shit to finish tonight — SASC SI’s program pamphlet and to pack, my favorite. 
• My flight is at 7am tomorroooow.
• And it’s game time once I get back! SASC SI starts up.

• Then ICON.
• MEEEP. Okay, I go work on things now.
• Good night!

Because this is my cousin’s favorite picture… This is my French cousin! 

Life. It’s a scary thing. But you just gotta face it. LSDKFKDLF I DONT KNOW. I’ve just been thinking a lot. Not intentionally, but my mind has just been running on and on and on. I don’t even know. That is all for now.

• I’m having a hard time concentrating on reading/homework right now, so I’m just going to tumblr. Need to get all of my thoughts out.
• I’M HOMELESSSS. Just kidding, not literally. But I can’t move into my apartment until the 5th. So one more day! I’m really thankful to have friends who have taken me in, let me crash, have fed me, kept me entertained, and have always made sure I’m okay and have what I need. GRATEFUL TO THE MAX. Even then, I just really hate bothering people and not having my own space to be settled in because I feel so unproductive since I can’t just do what I want and put focus on what I need to. 
• MY PHONE KEEPS FUCKING UP. I don’t know why. My wifi connection doesn’t work and it keeps freezing every other second or so alsdjfkdsf. Okay, not literally. But it’s been freezing a lot. I tried going to get it fixed today but I have no idea. Technology is my worst enemy ugh. I’m probably not going to get it fixed until I come home though. Figured I don’t need to have internet on my phone to distract me! Smart idea, right? 
• Things have been bothering me. I just feel uneasy but I think it’s with the idea of not being settled and moved in. 
• I FEEL SO HAPPY FOR EVERYONE! :’)
• Officially booked my flight for ICON and my flight home for next weekend and July 4th weekend! Famiry from Paris & Paris By Night w00t.
• I miss my mom’s cooking a lot right now for some reason. And I miss people from home. 
• First FTC committee meeting was last Friday! Eggcited for what’s to come and to work with all of my committee members.
• I have a lot of bucket list items I want to check off my list before I graduate. Speaking of graduating, I’m already graduating after this year. I think it’s finally beginning to hit me after someone told me that it made them really sad that I have such a short time here at Berkeley. 
• Run a half marathon, run a full marathon, sky dive, ziplining. IT’S GONNA HAPPEN.
• Op hot bod is back into session once I get situated since I have no idea where my running shoes are. 
• 21212121. VEGAS!! 
• Europe, Korea, or Hong Kong!? Where shall it be. 
• This. is. real. life. I”m a little scared. Shit is getting real. The whole application process is gonna start up again soon. BUT IT’S GONNA BE EVEN SCARIER. Yes, I want to go out of state. My reach school is a bit of a stretch. 
• I seriously feel like I’m going to be forever alone, lol. I’m not kidding. Weeeeee. 
• 4.0 for all of my summer classes. It’s going to happen, I am determined.
• Looking for another job. 
• I love my fwends. 
• That is all. 

HI I’M TINA AND I’M A DUMB BETCH. 

My sister is moving out of the house today. To who knows where. After a day’s notice to my parents. What? Okay. My mom is going crazy over it. I don’t know how to feel about this right now. 

Kay, needa finish my paper. 

• Physically and mentally drained. Just a bit. I just want to sleep. Ironically? When do I ever want to sleep!? Lol.
• 3 papers due this past week. What is life!? One that was due Friday, another 10-paged paper that’s due tomorrow night, and one last one due Monday morning. When will I be able to sleep? I don’t even know. Dat Berkeley stress. Definitely challenging but that’s what makes it great. Woo hoo! 
• Finals are coming up. What joy. 
• SASCerade in the city! Good way to celebrate the last day of instructions. Too cray. I HAVE BATTLE SCARS. Bruises and cuts. End of story.. 
• STC North was today! Regretted going to SASCerade for a bit since I was so tired.
• Say hello to the ‘13-‘14 OutREACH! coordinator! And transfer director.
• I’m tired. What am I saying? Okay.
• Going to work on my paper for a bit longer, sleep, wake up, work on my paper, and finally, CKI’s banquet. 

• LIFE HAS JUST BEEN CRAZY. Period.
• Where to start!!?
• SoCal OutREACH! trip definitely made my spring break worthwhile. SO MANY FEELS. I don’t know where to start. The whole week was simply amazing. 21 outreachers coming together as strangers and ending as close-knit family community. REACH!, or OutREACH! in particular, has definitely made my year at Berkeley amazing. Although it might not have started that way, I can now finally say I’ve found one of my communities here. JSDKLJLKDSFJ I SERIOUSLY DON’T KNOW WHERE TO START LOL. Crazily fun, eye opening, and inspirational. Even though I did Central Cal OutREACH!, this experience was one of its own. Hmm well for our inspirational story time, I was one of the inspirational speakers. At first, I honestly didn’t want to do it. Or well, I was afraid to. I hate talking about myself and I have trouble doing so when it’s in such a large group because I get so damn emotional and it always brings so much pain in a sense doing so. Ya feel me? My family life, growing up, my dad, choosing to go to a community college, transferring, etc. Telling my life story to this group of semi-strangers was scary and emotion as EFF, but for once, I felt at ease and it felt beyond great. Attending a community college and being a transfer student, shit can get hard. Reality check? The stigmatism and bad connotation of community college in today’s society closely lays in many individual’s mind today. It’s almost natural especially being at such an elite university as Berkeley. Being able to gain so much respect and developing passion in the outreachers as they outreached about community college was amazing. SO EMPOWERING. Where am I going with this? I HAVE NO IDEA. 3 words. It was amazing. And I was really happy that some OCC’ers were able to come out to experience the program themselves. :) I guess the only downfall was not being able to spend time with my family and everyone at home. 
• Although I believe the values and programs within in REACH! is amazing, there are changes that I feel needs to be made in the structure. Therefore, I recently applied for a Coordinator and Executive Assistant Director position. 
• I had my formals just last weekend! Super tiring weekend as a whole but damn it was fun. I FELT LIKE A PRINCESS LOL. Just kidding. 
• I AM THE NEW FTC CHAIR!!! Super egggg-cited for the upcoming year on district board. It’s definitely going to be one hell of an experience. Although I haven’t been as active this past year in Circle K, I definitely know that Circle K is where it’s at! Definitely couldn’t have done it without the support of so many individuals SDKFDSJF you know who you are. :D
• Officially going to ICON and CANADA!!! WOO HOO holy eff.
• Vietnamese culture show is this upcoming weekend on Sunday! I wasn’t going to stick to it at first, but I’m really glad I ended up sticking to it because damn. We had tech rehearsal earlier today and the feeling of being in Zellerbach Hall, our concert hall here at Berkeley, brought back so many memories and feels. Dat performance lyfe. Srirarcha hip hop and acting… IN VIETNAMESE LOL. Definitely getting in touch with my nguoi Viet Nam. :) Having Vietnamese lines made me realize how rusty I got in Vietnamese since I don’t have the chance to speak it up here often. But holy macaroni, this week has been SUPER tiring. Practice every night ‘till the AM. And I got sick from being in the cold from last night’s practice. woopdy doo! I felt like @#*&% today.
• Senior weekend is also this weekend! Bringing them accepted golden bears in to show them the ropes of Berkeley. UCLA that was once my dream school turned otherwise. It’s weird how twisted life works lol. Do I ever regret it? Nope, I love Berkeley. It’s always gonna be what you make out of it. The experiences and knowledge I’ve gained just amazes me. 
• I was working on a casework for a student who was trying to appeal to Berkeley this past week. What an interesting process and experience. 
• Acceptance letters (UCLA and Berkeley) for transfers are coming out soon! Seeing everyone get there acceptance letters make me so happy. It’s a weird feeling because it brings me back to a year ago when I was in that position. Seeing the people around me grow just gives me smiles!
• I. love. school! Am I a nerd or what? I love my classes. I’ve not only been gaining knowledge, but knowledge about my own identity, my culture, and backgrounds. 
• Recently registered for my last fall semester this past week! Got the first day of telebears/registration as a current senior standing feels GRAPE. Yeah, I said it. I can technically graduate early if I wanted to. But I don’t because I want to take in the full two year experience here at Berkeley. Time flies by too quickly!
• Everything simply feels right.
• IT’S GONNA BE MY LAST YEAR IN COLLEGE NEXT YEAR WHAT!? $hit is getting real. This is crazy. 
• I miss some people. I wish there were more hours in a day sometimes. 
• But nonetheless, excited to see what’s in store!
• The end. To be continued. I’m tired. 

I don’t know what happened with my old tumblr… it just disappeared. Like poof! Therefore, I have decided to make a new one because I felt it was necessary for my rantings and life talks. LOL. 

Things have been crazy. Real crazy. I don’t even know where to begin! Real life is beginning to hit me and it’s sorta a scary thing. It’s so surreal. Uugh.

MY NOSE IS SO STUFFY. Can’t breathe and I still sound like a dying cat.

That is all for now because I have class soon. Goodbye. :)
