Hmm.... I've been feeling so ... drained recently. It doesn't really make sense considering I only have 5.5 classes. Maybe it's because I don't really get *into* any of my classes. Sure, comp sci and Eng. Tech is fun, but there's nothing as awesomely cool as US History. America in Transition is a good class because it forces me to think differently, but I don't really like to think like that. We usually look solely from the American point of view, which doesn't really come naturally to me. And some of the reading we have to do is so obnoxious! I'm used to thinking about what I'm doing, but this year, I haven't been able to settle down enough to really think about my white papers, etc. ::sigh:: And what happened to weekends? I remember back in middle school when weekends were laid-back and homework was kept to a minimum.

Speaking of homework, I wasn't able to do my white paper yesterday because mom decided to talk to me for 2 hours about me and my personality and where they messed up in my upbringing, etc. Yeah, that's stuff that I want to talk about, but not right then. So how do I say to my parents, "Yes, it's important that we address this and talk about how I am myself and how my current state is a result of my closed environment, but I have to write this essay right now." I can't say no to my parents. ::sigh:: It took me all my energy just to counter their pressures earlier this year for me to drop AP Chem and BC Calc. blah.

parents vs schoolwork, I'm glad to know that MY parents aren't the only ones who do this ^^V course my parents don't like to admit that they messed me up, only thing they will admit to is me not regularly attending preschool, hence my lack of social skills, but other than that I get psychology, art, cooking, religion, programming, math too high for me to care about, and so on from them.. thing is parents talk about things when they feel like it because their old people and they'll prob forget it if they don't tell me now.. that's what's so fundamentally great about college, no energy draining parents, remember the "I got this far on my own, I think I have learned what I can handle" arguement (altho it sounds a lil' harsh there) which is a sub arguement of "I'm a rational thinking adult" but that one doesn't seem to work too well (too easily countered with "you're still my child") ah well.. good luck with 'em and think a year from now you'll be far-ther away from them >unless your winter break is.. well you know what I mean< ah well you prob shouldn't take any of my advice anyways given how messed up I am ^^;

hmm.. yes, college=happy prospect.

Wow.. you get that much from your parents? I just get systematic indoctrination. Internet is bad. Chinese aren't communists. Shanghai is the best place is the world. Anime is bad, etc. Oh, and the funky Communist Chinese songs. ^^;;; Our talks usually involve relationships, me, them, people in general, learning, etc. But I guess they have a different concept of time b/c neither of them really works. Due dates are kinda set by themselves, so they're usually like, "I'm bored. Let's talk". o.O;

It'll be so weird if I get into Stanford. >_
