• So I haven't updated in a while...

  Seems to happen a lot. But the past few times I've been wanting to post, the second the Weblog Entry page popped up, the internet would crash, so naturally, all this anger has been building up from being unable to post...

  
  

  Not really.

  
  

  Well, actually, yes, in some ways. I ought to go shower, I ought to go sleep, I ought to go study Spanish. I have to go tutor math bright and early tomorrow. Early...Yucky. So I'll go to bed relatively early today, wake up early tomorrow to study, then leave early to tutor. Goody. It's neat though, to see how much I've forgotten, and how fried my brain is in the early morning.

  
  

  So, Saturday I took SAT IIs again, but this time I feel like I bombed 2/3 instead of 1/3 of them. Not really a good sign...Spanish just makes me feel sad now. And if people ask me about my scores, I'll be officially angry at them. Leave me alone, unless you're a good friend of mine. Grades are private anyways. It bothers me when people who don't even talk to me on normal circumstances try to size me up by asking, "how'd you do?"..Why not ask me "how's your day going?" and actually caring?

  
  

  So I cheered myself up by eating. Not really, I ate out of necessity, and since neither my father nor brother knew when I'd be home, they went ahead and bought food without me, so I had to cook noodles for myself (which weren't too delicious, but that's alright). My sister finally got home from Duke..she's leaving really soon too. :. My brother saw my noodles asked me for some. My sister saw my noodles, asked me for some, so in the end, I decided I was done eating. I had made more than my big stomach needs anyways.

  
  

  So I cheered myself up by going shopping. Not really, I shopped out of necessity--for a homecoming dress, since time is coming up...I'm excited about that, since Jason is coming--how do you even date someone if you haven't seen them in 7 months? That's just ridiculous..long distance is stressful (but I'm pretty happy with where we're standing right now...minus a few minor things, but I guess I can live with them). I'm not much of a shopping person either, unless (dork) for school supplies/art supplies/foreign country stuff (cheap asian, or perhaps I'll say "frugal asian" since my mom objected to "cheap"..it's the same anyways, and it's the truth..). But I do love my dress, it is green, in case you were wondering, though there are doubts to whether or not this will even be read. It is exactly what I wanted, and it is a long dress, which is kind of bad since I am short...I need to wear heals to remedy that. But I was hoping for a dress like this since I watched Troy. It doesn't really look like anything there, but something about it reminds me of it, and I liked what I think the dress might have looked like (oh ambigous..).

  
  

  My current background is of my parking space. I want to post some pictures, but since the pictures are all on the other computer, and it is turned off (our computers are networked, so normally I could go ahead an retrieve them anyways, but since it's off it doesn't work like they're networked), I can't do so.

  
  

  So a quick explanation of my parking space painting:
  +the Campbell soup can--I painted that because it reminds me of my sister (she like's Andy Warhol, etc.)...it seems random, I like beef stew (hey! I park by Taylor too, and back in 8th grade there was an inside joke about beef stew that was part of our geometry class), and such.
  +the Tree--I care very much for the environment..I am a tree hugger (yay). It also reminds me of Davidson a little bit (so many trees there, and Megan and I had inside jokes about collecting napkins...which are made from paper--so much for loving trees)
  +A Clam and a Fish--(yes, my capitalization is erratic), Clam=Jason. So about the fish, that's a long story. I like fish because it was an inside joke between me and several of my former best friends. Fish because it was one of their last name's. Fish, because one forced me to listen to her reading an excerpt from the Two Towers & The Hobbit with Gollum exclaiming about fish. Fish, because I've been fascinated by the colors, the life, the brilliance of the ocean--tidal pools, coral reefs, it's all thrilling to me. Exhiliarating. Awesome. Fish, because in Chinese, it sounds like happiness. Fish, because it represents Christianity, in some ways (Jesus fed them all..?..Or perhaps it was metaphorical--the general idea. Something that might be conisdered in TOK)
  +Peace sign rainbow attempted tie-dye look--reminds me of Caddy and her love for the Beatles, Bagism, and the like. Peace. The idea is pretty sweet. But then I was talking the other day, and explained my doubts of world peace--even plants fight to the death for nutrients sometimes, or even sunlight..strangling others to get their own. But the concept of accepting is pretty nice in itself, and I feel like I am pretty peaceful sometimes. Maybe on the surface. But since I'm fairly moderate with most things, I think I should be pretty peaceful. Some subjects just anger me though, or they hurt me, or remind me of things that were meant to be buried, forgotten along with my forgiveness, but provoked and here comes a deluge of emotions. Anyways, yes, a peace sign. And I used to wear one made by an elementary school teacher around my neck. Wonder if I still have it.

  
  

  I also went to Sea World a few weeks ago--a girl my parents called my niece (though she can't be since she is not the daughter of my sister...she is older than my sister) gave us tickets that she earned from working there. I kind of wish I could've talked more with her, but my Chinese speaking skills are becoming rusty...yikes.
