So, Since I wasn't at class last Thursday, I figured I should explain why and my justification for missing a class. Well it was a normal day last Thursday and I had been hearing about the "Walk out" on march 12, but was sorta unsure about attending because that was the day of my most stacked classes. So I said to myself "Fuhhhhgedddabout it". Anyways, while I'm waiting in class for Ethics 210 to begin, I noticed a bunch of people still haven't showed up. So I'm sitting there, and in barges in a couple people from my group persuading us to go to the Walk-Out, so we all leave and decide to hold it down for the student community of SFstate. Well we begin marching onto 19th and joining the rest of the rebels at SFSU and begin chanting and yelling all the cheers that people are screaming. Although a large majority of the class left our group when they saw the T.A's -_-, some of 210s finest, mixed persuasian, and planateers held it down for the class. At first I saw this whole walk-out thing as somewhat obnoxious and pointless, Jiawei explained to me that it was these same types of events that got us Asian American Studies in the beginning! So while I was bummed about missing class, I knew that these protests were in fact important to making a statement as a community. Anyways, it was a great day with some different groups all being able to speak our mind as a community. Although the SF police department seems to be a little rude nowadays. Anyways, as you may have already seen the pictures, here's some photos from the march on 19th and the bonding with the other groups. ;D



Holding it down for Ethics 210 while still achieving true self determination. yayuhh.
210s Finest + Planeteers + Mixed Persuasion =
Probably the Finest Mixed Planteers you've ever met, Correct me if i'm wrong?
