Need space.
Hastings has, for the most part, truly proven itself to be the school for me. Just the fact that it’s in San Francisco is enough for me to feel content about the geographic novelty and the advent of my adulthood. But with all that is good, I really miss having a huge campus I could camouflage into. I miss classes I could be invisible in yet absorb everything I needed to. I miss huge school...

Closing Cycles
I used to be obsessed with this essay in college. It’s meant to be uplifting and motivational, but the rite of passage to being in a good place is to confront the things that need to be confronted, so I’ve heard. I’m feeling the need for that. You know - something along the lines of closet-cleaning, clean-slate-inducing, past-purging - in order to move on with peace.
I thought...
Uhhhh...
Isn’t City Hall absolutely gorgeous?
I’ve been devoid of cohesive thoughts as of late. The beginning of this semester has been weird. A bad kind of weird, and a weird kind of weird. Once I get through this haze and regain lucidity, I’ll be better.

Le sigh.
Missing my UCLA days more than usual today.

Another Blissful Day
Beautiful Sunday. Another one of my random fantasies during finals was to eat at a particular Ruby’s in Redondo Beach, right on the ocean front. It’s a Ruby’s that I’d always drive by in the past, but never really cared about. Shelly accompanied me, and we talked and talked about everything we missed out on, ate chili fries, and then had quite an extensive, shameless, and...

Earl Grey Tea Lattes & Job Applications
There’s nothing like the earl grey tea latte from Coffee Bean. Commercial coffee chains can do you good, just like Starbucks and their green tea lattes. Good mood guaranteed. San Francisco is great with its quaint coffee shops and independently-owned-everything, but sometimes you just need to be able to drive, park, and pick up some good ol’ commercial subpar coffee. This summer job...

Home Suh-weeet Home
I’m finally after home after four months of law school. My mom put up the Christmas tree, and I’m being treated like a guest of honor (although, I think my parents go more all out for my sister and my brother in law). The first thing I did when I came home (besides seeing mom + dad + Rochelle) was drive my neglected car that had run out of battery from non-use. I’d fantasized...

Last day before D-day.
What happened in the past four months? I have no idea. But I do know that I have just one more test tomorrow then I’m taking a short flight down to LA for 3 weeks! As beautiful as you are, Sky Room, I probably won’t miss you until next May or so.

Coffee Chronicles
This is a vanilla rose latte from Bello in the Mission. I’ve never had anything floral mixed with my latte before, so I’ve been meaning to give this a try. It wasn’t the best, but it’s a good idea in theory. Next on the list is their lavender white mocha. Maybe it’ll be better, but probably too sweet.

Two down, one more to go.
After a grueling week and a half or so, the 1L class (hopefully which will include me next semester, & for the rest of law school) is only 1 final away from winter break liberation. After straining my brain to its maximum yesterday afternoon for Property, I made it a point to relax today. Ashley and I walked to Embarcadero, ate lunch at a diner by the pier, talked til our jaws were sore,...

Thanksgiving, SF edition
My first Thanksgiving away from home was not spent alone, but rather, spent with a few friends, a 3 hour drive to to Folsom (with a baby detour in Davis, quite possibly one of my favorite cities in the world), the lovely Park family, and delicious food.
The day after was followed up with some Christine-time. Studying, home-made peppermint bark (made by Christine + Eric), and my new haven,...

The Little Things
get me through. Law students, for some reason, feel as though they aren’t allowed to have any fun (except for the “occasional” binge drinking, of course). We’re caged birds, but I wonder if we’d even be any different if there were no cage. This is why I make it a point to enjoy the little things in my life to carry me through this law school thing. Especially being in...
Mmm...
For my 23rd birthday, Joyce got me “Morning & Evening,” a devotional book written by Charles Spurgeon. Joyce, if you’re reading this, I hope you know what a great encouragement this book has been for me, especially since the move. <3 I was thumbing through the month of October, and I came across a past devotional that rings so much more truth, now.
An excerpt:

Such a beautiful poem
I carry your heart with me by E.E. Cummings
i carry your heart with me (i carry it in my heart) i am never without it (anywhere i go you go, my dear; and whatever is done by only me is your doing, my darling) i fear no fate (for you are my fate, my sweet) i want no world (for beautiful you are my world, my true) and it’s you are whatever a moon has...
