I don't know if I've mentioned this before but I am a avid fan of learning. No matter what people say there is an endless, I mean limitless, amount of knowledge out in the world for us to learn and absorb. There was a saying that, "Knowledge is power"...whoever said that, credit to you. That saying is true, with knowledge in hand, you'll be able to achieve things that one who only holds a diploma can only imagine.
Although I am a bum...possibly by nature. No matter where, at the most important event or of such, of course only in my family, I seem to have the urge to gravitate towards the world of sleep. Public events, it seems, I have more self control because, no matter how sad this truth is, I am really not that fond of my family. I love my mother and brother to death. However, that can not be said for my other families especially my uncles and aunts from both sides.
How often do you hear one of your aunts bad mouthing her own siblings, nieces and nephews? Well that is my aunt. Accusation was probably her favorite pass time. I mean, come on, my mother is someone who can't lie for anything, actually she probably can't lie even if her life is on a line, that woman dare goes and say my mother is a greasy, greedy, lying b***h. HER OWN SISTER! I would've slapped her myself if it wasn't for that fact that culture does not allow such blunt disrespect. So as a true daughter to my father, although sometimes I swear I wish that I was someone else daughter who accidentally was switched at birth, I gave her passing, pissable and sarcastic remarks about everything. She still didnt get the hint. AND THEN, the damn nerve of that woman! She dare speak ill of my brother...of course, he's a bastard but still, MY BROTHER! No matter how much I hate the git, he's still my brother, she had no rights. Then she went to me, I mean I don't care. Talk all you want about me because, truthfully, I don't give a sh*t about it.
Its sad that she talks and talks about us behind our backs, and ruined my mother and father faces in public here in this small (yeah right) Vietnamese community and kinda hurt my pride at being Viet, because really, all these Vietnamese people in this city (maybe not all) are gossip crazed, backstabbing a-holes that needs to mind their own businesses. However, since her departure back to Vietnam last Saturday, I found out all the people she was backstabbing and gossiping with about my family, are telling my mother what her nasty ass was saying about us and THEY'RE backstabbing her now. What goes around, comes around.
Anyways, back to school. Gosh, I seriously can't believe I'm in college now. Of course I was immensely excited about my first day of class last Monday, and I was almost jumping with glee and eyes barely focused on anything, was highly disappointed. College, I thought, was to challenge everything and anything I've learned but these classes were a little less then what I had expected. However, I liked the classes, especially my Japanese Language class, I thought it was fun last Wednesday! My sensei looked about to burst into tears listening to us introduce ourselves in Japanese (of course copying the books), might I add bad japanese? We stuttered, mispronounce, etc. It was funny but by the end of the 3rd hour and we got better, she smiled and told us we tried hard and she expect us to try harder! LOL I don't mind, I like the class.
My friend (although in a different State now) text me and tells me to make friends. How am I to do that when these 'adults' looks no where but forwards? I feel sooo little in all my classes well except for Pre-Algebra, not the only one in there that feels stupid for failing the placement test.
Anyways, post is toooo long! So see you guys, whoever follows and read this, later.
Much Love,
Yao
