...to project groups and racism.

Thank God for my project group mates, without whom I would be very lost and have to spend more time studying. We make up study groups too, which makes studying wayyy easier than if I had to study alone. We all concur on that point I think.

For my Coercive class, my group's quite focused on getting good grades, and they seem like driven people. Lilian's the head of a dance group, something like Dance Blast, and also of her sorority. Like how busy is she. Daaman just got back from exchange to London and she did an internship at Sacramento (capital of California). When we get together, we talk a lot about Vietnamese and Indian culture (cos that's what they are) and the assimilations and impact on American culture and stuff like that. Even though we always meet after 10pm.

The other group for the Homeland class amuses me to no end. Maybe cos we usually meet in the afternoons so I'm more awake. The guy who's Armenian is a "hater", in his terms, and always goes on about how popular he was in high school despite being fat and wearing glasses. He thinks he's pretty perfect and has "natural talent" in everything. I quote his exact words! The girl on the other hand, is my partner in "hating" the guy, and we totally bond over insulting him haha! She's so funny.. I think if she could be more confident and daring and not think herself dumb, she'd be kind of a high flyer. When the guy starts going on about how Mexicans are all illegal immigrants (the girl's Hispanic) and how "blonde" (dumb) the girl is, and insisting that all Filipinos eat dogs (when he found out I was one he started insisting I did that), all she says is "your race has Kim Kardashian" and he shuts up. HAHA!

Sophia and Raz at one of our weekly meetings.

We had Verdi over for dinner today. Amanda and Lois go on hiking trips organised by him and his group (while I stay home and study blah). He's Turkish and about 50 I think but he's really nice and helpful and hospitable, even in our house! He said I have an American accent that sounds like it was exposed to other cultures. I was amused.

Then William and Kingsley came over to fetch Amanda to study, and I entertained them for awhile while she got ready. They're like so excited and high and crappy.. I was the one being entertained by them in the end. Even though they kept dissing black people in San Francisco. William offered to drive me to the airport in a few hours but he was so tired from sleeping only half an hour last night, I passed.

Maybe it's cos of their (Americans in general) accent and the way they talk, but they seem so enthusiastic about every topic which could be like about.. bananas? and it would still sound exciting.

What if we got them into Rhoc..?

Just a thought, haha.
