Elaine and I…

are going to Ke$ha!

Chinese School

I woke up in a bit of a panic. I had a dream that at I was back in Chinese School. I actually relived some of my life events and they didn’t seem so bad then, but looking back at them now…I really really bad for 10-year old Caroline.

I was probably the least popular girl in Chinese School. I didn’t care about doing well in CS which made me a pariah among my female peers. I remember there was this awful girl, Vicki, that I couldn’t stand. I thought she smelled and she was really stuck up. 

Anyway, I hated going. The teachers sucked- you passed no matter what- so I purposely tried to do well to show everyone the flaws in their system. No one cared. Everyone was always surprised by me. I was the WORST kid in class, yet I always got all the big parts in the plays (yes, we had to do plays and perform- this is an Asian event after all) and won the debate competitions. I must have been the most frustrating student ever.

I don’t remember if there were parts that I did enjoyed, but if I did, it was dance class. I am 70% certain I did not actually enjoy it, but I honestly can’t remember. What I can remember was the teacher actually liking me, but the girls HATED me. Even girls who ended being my friends in high school were very mean to me. I remember Katherine and Katy (both girls I ended hanging out with in HS) making fun of my ribbons (which looked just like everyone else’s) and ignoring me in between performances.

There was Jane and Lisa- two girls who I still avoid when I accidentally run into them in town. They took dance class so seriously and hated the fact that I was always in the front (likely because I was the smallest) and got more solos.

I used to hold protests against going to Chinese School. When my dance teacher left, I got to get out of that. Soon, my parents could not take the constant chanting, screaming, kicking, and crying and finally let me quit. I think the one who probably suffered the most was my sister. Vicky. I don’t know if she actually liked Chinese School or not. She did love school normally, so I can only assume she did.

Chinese School did not foster any sort of creativity. It was a soul less dungeon where kids had to be just like everyone else- awful, competitive people. I think I realized where my distrust of Asians comes from- wow, what a morning so far.

Worst Idea Ever.

Just looked up the training for the half-marathon. 

First sentence reads, “Make sure you have been running for at least two months and can run at least 8-10 miles.”

Is there a plan for the first 8-10? 

Best Idea Ever.

Justin Timberlake in Vegas on 11-30

Also the OSU vs. M*ch*g@n game.

Also the time when Britney has her Vegas show.

Triple awesomeness.
