When somebody provokes your anger, the only reason you get angry is because you’re holding on to how you think something is supposed to be. You’re denying how it is. Then you see it’s the expectations of your own mind that are creating your own hell. When you get frustrated because something isn’t the way you thought it would be, examine the way you thought, not just the thing that frustrates you. You’ll see that a lot of your emotional suffering is created by your models of how you think the universe should be and your inability to allow it to be as it is.

Sooooo rocky

So I'm broke because damn things add up fast and I'm supposed to save for Vietnam. But planning a surf camping trip to San Onofre right now and it's making me really excited. I work like 30 hours a week and mostly at night so I can't hang out like I used to. I feel so distant but I need sleep so partying til 6am is hard. Maybe when I'm more caught up on sleep I can juggle work and fun better.

My brother used to be a little shrimp. Happy birthday! Can't believe we blew over $200 on Boiling Crab

2 A's, 2 B's. 4 out of 6 classes down! Summer started 6 days ago and I've gone surfing twice at Seal, daydrunk swimming at 2 beaches in Laguna, 2 kickbacks, fishtacos and street tacos, boba and crawfish. It's gonna be a great summer :)

A year left of school. Probably will take out loans for the first time to go to grad school for accounting since I want to be on track for my CPA.

And the other month when I was in downtown fullerton to catch up with high school buddies, I met this guy my friend has been seeing who’s a recruiter for a accounting/finance temp agency. Dude said he’d hook it up when I come back from Vietnam :D

So as of right now if my GPA can stay above a 3.0 I think I have the next 3 years planned out.

But I know what other people are doing...Mary got into the big4 and Kathleen is at a CPA firm. Most people I know go into the field, so maybe I should consider taking a gap year to make sure an accounting career would be meant for me. Ah well, I'm going to try to see if I can get into EY next year. Out of the big4 I think it'd be ideal. Though Darren told me that Ondoy's mid-level firm has super fun culture, so I may explore mid level companies too. If I go into full-time work with no school, I will definitely aim higher. But if I stay on my current path, I'll probably go for a small company accountant clerk job that will be less rigorous so I can try to finish my CPA by the time I finish grad school.

2 year difference.

I'm questioning life over a conversation I overheard someone else have and my refusal to dance on other people at the bar. What a very nice Saturday start

Am I a semi-recovering alcoholic with a damaged hypothalamus?

Is a claim to be recovered a sign of denial?

I've been surfing recently and today I rode away for the longest time since I started last year. We named our surfing crew PC bro. That stands for Pacific Cruisers, based off South Park. Hobby wise I think I'm the best I've been in a long time. Actually going out of my way to make things happen.

You post a picture of your face and you get a hundred likes. Doesn't mean that you have friends. But what it does mean is that if you mention you're lonely or there's not a lot of people in your life other people won't believe you.

2/27 - weighed myself at the doctor’s 5′4 134 lbs

OH and finally got snowboarding down! I can leaf down the moderate/beginner slopes pretty consistently, and I’m ready to learn how to carve now that my sprained wrist is healed.

Regressed on most of my personal progress over winter break, but spring is the season of resolutions. More fixated on becoming a person suitable for society than ever.

come up to the party and find out small world: friends knows the kids on the curb on probation. apparently there was a 10vs1 and the party got rolled by a G-unit. go to hang out after at J’s, low blood sugar leads to fainting + paramedics realized we have very bad emotional responses. at least compared to the average person. think we ended up leaving a bad impression :( met 2 canadians today. pretty cool guys, hope they get to see all of Cali during “Reading Week” annnnnnnnnnd I was being a jerk about this opinion when I expressed it to Tan, but I don’t think it’s right to harass members of the KKK physically. I think that it is just a belief and if they peacefully meet in a public space, that is their prerogative. I think it’s safer to keep extremist groups in the public eye because it is easier to monitor/infiltrate. I mean they seem to have stepped away from their past as a violent hatecrime organization and is more a gathering of racists/white supremacists. Is it wrong to believe that a belief I find to be ignorant should be protected? I really don’t like it, but if online haters are protected then this should be too. I don’t think that prioritizing your own beliefs is okay. I don’t think anyone should be a priority. To me this is similar to the white cops being protected in NY, then the Asian cop being scapegoated. I just think if you’re going to condone BLM being rude and attempting to take over rallies, you can’t deny the peaceful congregation of Roosh V or the KKK. One is hosting their own events for like-minded individuals and the other is actually encroaching on the efforts of others. If you can’t attack someone for holding a different view/vigilante-ism, why should you be able to pass that judgement on a group?

No more eating out or partying T___T
