Chinatown

Took the Muni and got off at Powell. Walked to Chinatown. It's unbelievable that I had to go all the way to Chinatown to get a textbook. It's for Asian American Studies.

It's so different being in the city. There's a sort of loneliness to it. I mean, sitting in the muni, waiting for Powell street, listening to my iPod. Watching people get on and off. Going through the turnstiles--I think that's what you call them. It's lonely, but nice.

I had to walk under this tunnel that ran for like 1/8 of a mile. And then--there it was. Chinatown. There were all these cool dim sum places and stores. Real nice. Unfortunately I couldn't stay long. I got the book and left.

A freshman from my university passed away today. He fell into the ocean at a retreat for the Presidential Scholar's program. I didn't know him. But still...you still feel sad.

Hello

This is really neat. I'm glad I did this. I will write back later. I have class in a few minutes.
