I want to pass my last 3 months of senior life as fun as possible... not filled with homework assignments...

I want to graduate earlier, so I have more than a week to pack for leaving Taiwan.

I want to have a senior trip, but......... you know.........

I am kind of disappointed with how the _____ is now.

sigh sigh sigh...
I've been stressing myself out with school works since I was in Elementary school. Too tired now...

I want more FUN and RELAX TIME!!!!!

Saint and followers

Complains? Everyone has them.
Comments? Everyone has them.
Being stubborn? who doesn't?
But who really listens?

Who is the Saint and who is the follower?

Why can the Saint be the Saint?
Why must the followers be followers?

Who do you think you are?
Stop making lame excuses!!!

Guy or Girl? (draft)

This week our student representative council held a Spirit Week. Today, students get to cross dress--- men as girls, and girls as men.
Our class went for a short trip to 7-11 out side our school during Global Ethics class. It was interesting to see the reactions of people on the streets when we walk out with clothing that we don't normally wear. We had a discussion afterward on gender binary in the US and it with Asian countries.
The main difference between "gender" and "sex" is that 'gender' is a cultural difference between female and male; 'sex' is the biological difference between female and male.

I agree with Ms. Sheilah's comment about this Cross dressing day --- it's definitely a healthy experience because we get to experience different gender culture.
The society has always been patriarchal. So, as a woman, I am happy that guys are actually experiencing how girls feel by cross dressing. Our math teacher, Mr. Truchon, also dressed up in a girl's outfit; he said "Now I understand why girls look in the mirror a lot, because there are always things(clothes, hair, etc) to fix." I also heard some other guys who cross-dressed said that it is not so convenient when they dress in skirts because they have to sit properly.


We also discussed about if cross dressing more difficult for boys or for girls?
I think it's definitely more difficult for the boys because of the gender stereotype that has passed down for many centuries. Boys were told to act manly, can't show weakness, etc. Although there are also stereotypes on girls, however, girls still dress like boys in daily life and we see it as normal.

Pink leopard, Hearts, & Bear-bear!!

Blog template is updated :)

Hope it's not too colorful, lol

I was playing with GIMP for hours because of the typhoon.
But I still like Photoshop the best!

worried...

Just some thought about being in the Advanced Placement English class....
I know my English level is not as good as the rest of my classmates. I feel pressured to speak in front of them. When reading hard materials like Baldwin essay, I wonder if other classmates understand the essay. I usually assume they understand least 50% of it and therefore I question my own English ability quite often.
In short, I guess I'm not confident enough to sit in that class. Although Ms. Galland always cheers me up, I still feel worried. :-(
It's only the start of the school year.... hope by the end of my senior year, I will, at least, get used to college-level work!!!

Summer vacation #1

* don't steal my master piece!! >:-[ *

It's summer time again!!!!
Unfortunately, I am not going anywhere this summer, not even anywhere in Taiwan. :(
Anyways, I signed up for the Dale Carnegie course for teenagers. I've attended two lessons already. The first lesson was quite "scary". There is about 45 students in a class and the first interaction you have to make with others is to shake hands with them. It was quite strange and embarrassing to shake hands with someone you doesn't know. Overall, the first lesson was very nerve-wracking for me....
The second lesson was much better. We have to set up goals for four categories: family, personal leisure, friends, and school academic. One of my goals is to get over 1600 even up to 1700 on my SATs!!!!! :D

Oh, btw, Green Day, The Click Five, and Muse are good bands!!!!!!

Lastly, to everyone who read this entry: Have a great summer!!

EMO

HAh! I was very emo today. Probably it was because I don't have any safe colleges/universities that I can consider to go to.
Well.... after chatting with Dennis just 1 hr ago, finally I found a school that I can probably get into! Haha! I also talked to my mom about it. I feel better after talking to her. At least I have a thread of hope for getting into college again.
It's very near my aunt's house. If I go there, I can visit my uncles, aunts, cousins often and I can have a part time job in my aunt's Dunkin Donut shop!!!! :D
But, you know, everything is uncertain.
