oh my, i do take too long in btwn posts..

so this weekend was semi-eventful. i went climbing early saturday morning outdoors which was really fun, but i only got one climb in since was late. it's so fun to be outdoors..'cept for all the bugs.
another of my cousins got married. i swear, according to my memory, my other cousin that's married got married last year. but according to everyone else, it happened at least 3 years ago. am i going insane?

i've been doing a lot more martial arts lately. even some wushu. did some nanquan sections and shook some rust off. if only my hamstring was ok, then i could go all out. i don't know if i wanna keep doing wushu though since i have hkd and all the other stuff i wanna cram into my summer. i still wanna ride my bike around if that ever gets fixed, and then i also signed up for membership at ironworks again.

anyone up for climbing? i'm at least committed for the summer. maybe i can work my way up to 11's, maybe 11d's this summer. i was doing 11a's and b's at the end of last summer, maybe it'll come back? at least it'll be another way to hack off some fat

school's ending, and i'm gonna miss those ghetto fools. i even took pics of my first period today. some more students even showed up to take the final..they haven't been around in a long time, i thought they just quit school like the others. it's so depressing so realize how many lost souls there are. over the weekend for senior prank they just messed up the school. i mean, i can understand pranks like hanging all the picnic tables off the walls, or ripping out the toilets and putting htem on senior lawn or something, but vandalizing the school? they wrote '03 BITCH all over the place, FUCK AMY (our principal) and even cursed out the librarian. what's worse, they killed all the new tree saplings and the potted plants. just ripped them right out or dumped the pots. it was SOOOOOO fucked up. our principal was totally distraught. what's worse is that some students that i saw walking around didn't even realize what kind of crime or message it was sending out. whoever did that also went around the neighborhood and dumped all the garbage cans into the street.
i heard some really bad/negative comments from my colleagues too. things like the kids bringing their neighborhoods into the schools or about how they should get sent off to cuba to be slaves....it all made me really sad. it also made me really wanna stay and help out...but that'll be like me trying to stop the ocean waves with a fan. i'll just get killed again.

on the positive side, my last time seeing my first period went really well. i asked for some feedback, and one of my students wrote something really nice. and she meant it. maybe if i keep these letters and remember them, i won't go insane again next time i try to handle the ghettoness of oakalnd..
