Done the Impossible

Apologizing for not posting a blog for a long time

I have finally done the impossible. I have finished my last semester at San Francisco State University. I know for the fact that I did OK even though I felt like I was slacking off. I felt like the grades that will be posted in January does not matter to me anymore. All the matter that I care about is that I am done with SFSU and got the last two classes out of the way.

The Fall Semester was my toughest. I was on campus Tuesday and Thursday from 7am until 12:15pm then I was driving to Concord for Sam’s Club. The commute going to and from has taken a huge toll on me. For example I suffer pain on my upper right side of my body on my 33^rd birthday in October. I also was lacking on sleep. I was waking up early on the days that I needed to be on campus and sleeping very late. Doing assignments from two classes were tough because I was exhausting after getting off from work. It was also hard for me to get with classmates about the group projects for class. I had to rearrange my schedule to work with them. There were days that I did not have to go to work.

What will I miss about San Francisco State University? I can say that there will be no more early long commutes. I would also say that I did not expect to be an Asian American Studies major. I came to SFSU as a Journalism major but that change the following semester. Learning Asian American taught me a lot about what happen in San Francisco. I never knew anything about Chinatown having a Manilatown and being the home for Filipinos. I learn about Angel Island. There were a lot that I learn from taking AAS classes. I met a lot of people and had excellent professors.

My goal now that I am done with San Francisco State is applying for jobs. Where I am applying is anywhere in San Francisco. The city has a lot to offer me. I already apply for YouTube and a media studio off of Market Street. I need to keep on applying until I get a job. There is no giving up. It would be a waste of my diploma if I did not look for a job that is not retail. My time to move on is happening now.
