the experience

hi guys, it's ria and i just got home from our asian american culture class. on my bus ride home i did a lot of thinking with my headphones on blast just muting the whole world so i can find some sense in my life. and to be honest you may or may not be interested in what i say but i'll just be rambling about a lot of shit, so be prepared. okay, so we recently finished our midterms and i thought everyone done a great job. even though our first run wasn't as successful at least we gave it a good try. however, the second attempt was pretty nuts. like i honestly felt like we all forgot about the midterm and was fighting for something real. and in realism we were dealing with current issues with the budget cuts for our ethnic studies. the whole experience has made such a big impact in my life and i'm not even exaggerating or trying to sound cliche. but since day one this class has opened my eyes to new things and helped me experience new things. i never thought i'd be apart of a strike, so that was pretty cool. just feeding off of everyone's energy it felt so real to me. like right before i was about to make my speech i start bugging out. i'm not use to voicing my opinion to a crowd i've always kept it to myself or a minimal set of people. but you know deep down inside of me i wanted to do it like the beginning of this midterm i planned to be the camera man. so just being out there was just a whole new experience. it actually makes me want to get out there and support other shit you know. like ghandi said be the change you want to see in the world. i remember all through out out middle school and high school years we were experiencing so many cuts with teachers and classes. and the only teacher i truthfully believed i gained the most knowledge was from my middle school teacher ms. hughes who was a history teacher. but she was so dope no doubt, and i swear she reminds me of irene so much. she was all about the experience too like she dropped a lot of knowledge but she also taught us so much about ourselves. like she found beauty in culture, youth, history, etc. she was just so deep about everything touched every part of my soul sincerely. and you know what's some real bullshit she was one of the teachers that got cut and that took away a big part of me. like i was really hurt with their decisions because she loved her kids. she was all about empowering us to become the solutions to this fucked up world you know. and i feel irene is the same in so many ways. so i'd be damned if she got cut too. i just hate the fact that there's this "value" on our our education. because teachers like irene do so much more for us than they can imagine. like i feel they should be giving us more money to help eduate the youth after all we are the fucking "future". ahhh! okay this shit just got me hyped and i apologize for all the cussing haha. i'll leave this blog on this note. . .

"the problem with this song, is it's not long enough to say
how fucked up it is that we living this way
nothing is alright, but everything is okay
so we plan for tomorrow, but we live for today" --murs
