Today, I was tabling for Student Health Advocates at the Muir College Health Fair. It was pretty low-key with about a dozen student orgs/wellness cluster organizations. There was a raffle going on for Jamba gift cards so the SHA’s and I took turns in going around table to table to fill out our raffle ticket forms.
I encountered a pre-health organization. As I was introducing myself and the...

Personality Test
I took it too :)
Understanding
You are willing to take the time to find out what’s going on with other people, especially if they’re in distress. You’re a good listener, you don’t criticize, and you offer unbiased, respectful, honest advice when it’s requested. With a high score on the “understanding” trait, it is likely that you are enthusiastic about...

“But while I don’t believe our roots necessarily define us, I do believe there are racially inflected assumptions wired into our neural circuitry that we use to sort through the sea of faces we confront. And although I am in most respects devoid of Asian characteristics, I do have an Asian face.”
Boyfriend linked it to me. A bit of a long read, but sure worth it.

After a brief meeting with my advisor Dr. Gina Flemming, director of Student Health Services and Health Education at UCSD, I thought I would write my academic internship research paper on diagnostic testing of mental disorders for college students. She expressed that there’s so many students who should get tested, but there aren’t efficient ways on doing it, and how potentially an...

The SEA in me
Today in Acting 101, my professor asked a class of 30 of us to stand in an imaginary map of where we were born, and where our parents were born. We then grouped ourselves into little regions of our motherland. I of course, was in Southeast Asia with 3 other Vietnamese students and 1 Cambodian-Chinese student.
My professor asked us to find something all of us had in common. He gave an example as...
pet peeve
when professors upload lecture slides online in
a) too large of a format (pptx.. omgaaah so slow to load, requires converting to .pdf)
b) not the .pdf I’d prefer :( — my mol bio prof put up three set of slides for one lecture (1 slide per page, 2, and 4) none with borders! — and what happened to 3? i like the 3 slides per page plus room for notes on the side!
ohh I will try...
Re-cap of Spring Break!
You know, I actually had a long Spring Break! I finished my last final (a lab report, no not even, a homework assignment for lab) at 3pm on Tuesday on Final’s Week.
After that, I got to hang out with my roomie as we got our oil changed together, and then off to LA I went! My booboo broke his arm snowboarding the week before and I went back up to be with him through his surgery. I also.. met...

I'm so glad it isn't me.
If one of the nicest people that I know shares the same sentiment that I do about a particular someone, it sort of relieves me in feeling that hey, I’m not a bad person.
My tumblr posts from topic to topic so much. Oh boy, you’d think that I’m writing these at all separate occasions, saving them, proofreading them, and uploading them on tumblr all at the same time. But nope, I’m just procrastinating. Haha.
Art is going to call me at 6:45am, because, that’s when the sun rises and that’s when he wants to start studying. Oii.
“I guarantee there’ll be tough times; I guarantee that at some point, one, or both of us is gonna wanna get out of this thing; But I also guarantee, that if I don’t ask you to be mine, I’ll regret it for the rest of my life… because I know in my heart, that you’re the only one for me.”

Today, I told my lab partners I was at the Tim Wise Anti-Racism Event in PC.
One of them looked at me with the you know “wtf” look.. and asked “Linda.. why would you even go to that?”
I answered him, “Oh well, you know.. I’m apart of student organizations that are in solidarity with the BSU & MEChA students. With the racist events that occurred last year,...
"so are you letting them fuck the students over?"
Okay this might be really unprofessional of me, but I think I just want to evaluate a conversation that just happened with an acquaintance I met from ICS ‘10. I may delete it later, so read if you want! Hahah
But.. I believe I answered his question well (not the fake/rehearsed VAYA pageant winning answer, and yes, I so went there) but.. No, I answered my friend, in his question as to if I...

I can see where I spend too much time. Linda Luu, there’s a reason why education is listed before experience and activities -___-
I don’t eat tomatos. - I do not like it in my burgers! I’m always a grilled onions, no tomatoes, spread on the side kinda girl. - But I LOVE KETCHUP. - And I eat a whole lotta broke college student pasta. Pasta sauce and I are one. Ragu sauce is bomb diggitity. And tomato+eggs+garlic red rice is love as well. - Sometimes I’ll eat the tomatos in my Mommy’s omelet though, but...
I’m trying to blog more…. Recently, I got two wonderful friends of mines journals as a self-healing/personal-growth thing. I think I’m going to give it a try!
Dude. ICS was just a month ago.

I spent a good 4 nights and 3 days with him and, though that would be good to hold me over for a week or so, I miss him already! Haha
For CubChiemster.
Last week, I drove up to LA to see my boyfriend. I left Sandy Eggo at 5:40pm ish… When I got home though, I checked sigalert and it said travel time was gonna be nearly 3 hours, so I told him it was going to take me awhile to get there!
