Need to grow tough skin (but then what would I do with lotion?)

Can I just say that I am in love with my Shakespeare TA, in the most platonic sense. He really reminds me of Kevin Sorbo and he totally loves Asians (hence he is cool with me even though he's cool with everyone) since he takes Tae Kwon Doe. Random tangent: I don't know why but I usually find myself in classrooms with no Asians or one other Asian. Am I breaking the stereotype or am I becoming Americanized-white-washed!-because I'm pretty sure to other Asians I am Americanized but I'm still love Asian culture, I just don't like the meek nature of Asian culture.

I FIGHT AGAINST ASIAN SILENCE! Except when I'm in a class and it's awkward.

Back to the point. My TA thinks I'm smart probably and I don't even have to say much. He makes it really easy to talk in his class. I love that. It doesn't have to be really smart comments, well it can, but he derives or connects it to everyday life.

EGADS! Just thought of my next PipeDream article. I also published a poem (was on this blog before) in Free Press, another Binghamton publication and it felt really good to see it. A step closer to recognition? Yeah, right.
