das Wetter ist besser

Been doing stuff lately with this awesome weather bestowed upon us bay area citizens. the other day Dana, Gabe, Angelina and I went to Abbott's Lagoon out by Pt. Reyes. Beautiful drive even more beautiful scenery. The lagoon is right by the water so there were some sand dunes to play in.(not the best picture I don't even think I got the lagoon in there.) These cows were lovin' us and decided to pose. Cows are awesome.

It's amazing being a student. The new experiences, the long-lasting friendships, the newfound knowledge... the fucking budget shortfalls. It's even more amazing when you're sent an email from the school you go to asking for a donation, just like this email from the Chancellor-

RE: Donation Drive
DATE: March 1st, 2010

Today, in cooperation with the Planning and Budgeting Council, we are
embarking on a community-wide City College of San Francisco (CCSF)
Donation Drive. If each CCSF employee and student donates $5 or more, we
can raise over $500,000 - half a million dollars! All money collected
will go directly to the restoration of classes and services at CCSF for
the Fall semester.

Please consider making a donation of whatever you can. Each donation
matters. A little from each can make a big difference for all.

I mean, really? Is this what it's coming down to? You've already raised the price per unit, textbooks are extremely expensive, and now you want us to donate money? Of course, they must do what they can, and hell, i might even give them five dollars, but it's just dumbfounding to me that the school i pay money to go to is asking everyone for donations because they're doing so poorly. What is this world coming to when the schools can't get shit from their government and have to start begging for student donations? This shouldn't be how education works, and it sure as hell isn't.

(Please, if this is something CCSF does annually, let me know, because i'd like to know if i'm completely wrong in my judgements.)

this is great, i was thinking of funny english phrases/names/words some asian people come up with and went to the hawaiian bbq place (not really hawaiian) across the street and finally, after about 5 or so visits, realized the silliness of their sign. while it seems that the sign is of decent craftmanship, that one fucking n ruined all their hard work.
