Summer Summer Summer

It has been a month since the Spring Semester at San Francisco State University ended. I have been going through a month withdrawal not being in class on Monday and Wednesday. Eric Pido touch us all with his excellent class. I miss being in his class lecturing about the Philippines and America. He was a great AAS professor that I have taken. He was layback and wasn’t too strict like the other professors that I have taken. He made students feel comfortable speaking up and ask them how their weekend was. I like how he was young and was one of us (a struggling Asian finding his identity). I feel comfortable taking his class and I was not afraid to speak even though I had nothing to say. There will be no other professors like him. It will be hard to accept that I cannot repeat history.

It sucks that my one summer class at San Francisco State got cancelled. I really needed that course because I do not want to take five classes during the Fall or Spring Semester. Now I need to kick all both semester in order for me to graduate in May 2013. My mission is to finish and succeed into better things in life.

Since I did not have an alternative summer plan I just been relaxing. I still volunteer at the International Hotel Manilatown Heritage Center. I cannot stop helping the place out. Matthew and Ryan appreciate the big help that I doing by taking pictures and attending the events that are being held (I enjoy helping them out). It is too bad they did not offer me a position. I would have taken the opportunity to work with a great organization. People need to be aware that the place existed and that is dedicated to the Filipinos.

I am still working at Sam’s Club. I am getting less hours which is OK with me. I want others that I work with do the hard work. Don’t get me wrong but I am way too dedicated at my job. I feel like I am not allowing anyone take my spotlight. I did a lot at Sam’s Club and I do want others to have a fair chance to do the hard work.

I still got two months left until the Fall Semester begins. Hopefully my summer is good and I have a fun time. We’ll see how this summer ends.
