I fail.

Ugh, okay. I don't know if we're doing punishments, but if you want to give me one, just do it. >__< I know I deserve it. I'm just incredibly stressed and busy right now with several projects due in the next week. But I just wanted to post saying I was alive.

Sorry I'm lame that I also don't have a photo to put up. I promise I'll do a proper one next time. Pink swear. But how was your test? Is your new puppy doing well too?

New Puppy!

So I really hate to do this, but my blog is going to be pretty short (I might send another one tomorrow to make up for it...) I have a horrible test tomorrow in Spanish that I will literally fail, no exaggeration there. I also got a new puppy today. She is a poodle and is 12 weeks. I named her Penelope, Penni for short haha.

I was a little wary of getting a new puppy though because you fall in love with them so easily and I get scared that my other dog will get heartbroken and die sooner, especially since Judy is already upset that Ila's having a baby (which is kinda weird).

They are calling for more snow this weekend which pisses me off beyond no other. We're supposed to look at houses this Sunday, but if it snows again maybe not.

Well sorry to end this so soon, but I have to take care of Penni and study, study, study!!
Sorry the pic isn't clear....it's from the phone

Asian Eyes

Today my roommate told me that I had small Asian eyes. Okay, when non-Asians tell me this I laugh because I get that they're poking fun at my ethnicity and the fact that stereotypically Asians have small eyes, but it actually really annoys me when other Asians tell me this. Why? Because I'm not a part of that stereotype. Personally, I always thought that I had average sized eyes, which I admit is helped by the fact that I have double eyelids. Let me point to the chart I have made. At the top are your eyes, below are mine, then my roommate's, then my Korean friend Peter's, then Ni's, and finally Laura's. I must note that the other three Asians in the image do not have double eyelids, but disregarding that fact and only taking note of how much of the iris we can see, we can obviously determine that Peter has in fact the smallest eyes. Now, let's say compare my eyes to yours. To me, they seem the same. I think my eyes only appear bigger here because I think my image is bigger, but it can clearly be seen that the amount of our iris showing is about the same. So can you see my reasoning in getting annoyed at the fact that Staci told me that my eyes are small while hers are just considered extra small? I'd say that hers are small while Peter's might be considered extra small, right? And I'm just talking about eyes. Obviously in comparison to my entire face my eyes seem small and if a person has small eyes but an equally small face, then their eyes appear larger than what they might be. BUT IN CONCLUSION, I HAVE AVERAGE-SIZED EYES.

Anyway. Rant aside. I really want to watch Valentine's Day. Sorry about your Dad though, and I totally agree about whether to like the day or hate it. People might say I'm totally pessimistic about the idea because I'm single and whatnot, but that's not it at all. I just don't see the point in getting chocolate and cards or flowers or whatnot for one stupid occasion. If I were in a relationship, I wouldn't want some dumb chocolate or roses. I would simply want to spend time with my significant other. I'd take a cuddle or a really nice conversation over some hallmark card any day. I would think affection would trump monetary gifts any day and for those people who believe monetary gifts are affection, they seriously need to reconsider their relationship. Also agreed on President's Day, although I like to think we're celebrating the lives of those that actually mattered. You know, like the first...fifteen or twenty. Of course the dumb snow had to ruin your house plans. Well, whenever you guys go, definitely send me pictures. I want to see your future living space possibilities!

HURRAH for Ila! Definitely want to see the dog, and please do tell me about the scumbag. Awww, a little girl would be so cute! Definitely more likely to look like Ila too. Alexis Cheyenne. Well, it's not terrible but I'm not a huge fan. Just PLEASE don't call her Lexi. Lexis tend to be either white trash bitches or ho bitches, or sometimes if you're really unlucky, white trash ho bitches. Alex would be cute though. Where did she get the name from anyway? And my situation with being under appreciated definitely hasn't changed. As I'm writing this I'm trying to force myself not to take out the recycling to see if anyone else is going to do it because it's been overflowing for the past several days. I'm sure by the time I write a response to you next time, I'll have been the one to take it out. Has anyone else made dinner these past two nights? If not, you should just eat something outside one night and see what everyone else does. Maybe they'll notice then.

Tomorrow I have my job interview. It's at this placed call The Container Store. Basically a store selling organizational stuff from twice the price as Bed, Bath & Beyond. Hopefully I get it because this is probably one of the better jobs I could get in the city right now. I'm a little nervous as to how I'll be able to balance work with homework, but I feel like I can do it. Working will probably force me to do my homework on time now. I am indeed feeling a little overwhelmed by the work load right now. I keep telling myself that it'll be worth it in the end but I'm just so tired. You know when you had those days when you lay on the bed and think about how you wish you were rich and never had to work or do anything anymore? Well those days are every day now and it's rather disheartening.

My Uncle called me yesterday wanting to talk. That lasted for about three minutes until I pretended I was busy with friends and he hung up. He's really rather daft if he hasn't realized that I don't want to talk to him. Ever. If I obviously call my Aunt, Tina, and YounWoo, but don't call him, isn't that hint that I don't want to talk to him? I don't even keep his number in my phone anymore. I have no reason to talk to him. Anyway, speaking of YounWoo, the little brat didn't take his ACT like he said he would. My Aunt paid for it and everything but he overslept and his friend never picked him up so he didn't take it. I just don't get what he plans on doing with his life. First it was the army, then it was college, and now I'm pretty sure he'll do nothing but play his computer games. I realize that boys tend to mature slower than girls, but how much longer is he planning on taking? Would I like to help him? Sure, of course. Does he let me? No, of course not. He never picks up my calls and I'm just tired of trying to put in the effort. Did I also mention the fact that he still refuses to call our Mother and Father? Yes, he has mentioned before that he's not exactly a 'phone conversation' kind of guy, but it's his freaking MOTHER. Does he at least even bother calling her for Christmas? Do I need to even answer that? You know, in twenty years when he tells me that he regrets the fact that he didn't spend more time with her, I'm not going to give him any sympathy. He doesn't deserve it.

Wow, this was a really long post and I'm pretty sure I still have more to say, but I'll leave at here for now. Let me know about everything going on with you, okay? I will leave you with this image that I took this morning of some workers drilling right outside our dorm at about 9am. There's also snow coming down if you can't see it. Fun times.

Día del Amor

So it's Valentine's Day! I'm not sure exactly on my feelings toward this day of love. Part of me loves it because I am a sort of romantic, and the other practical side of me thinks it's just a ploy to get people to spend money on pointless crap. My sister and I went and saw the movie Valentine's Day, last night. I was pleasantly surprised, it was pretty cute and there were some actual unpredictable moments in it. (I also kinda cried in one part) Anyway we also had to buy my dad's Valentine gift for my mother because he forgot and he's entirely way too lazy to go out and buy it himself. Yeah we didn't get home until about two in the morning.

Tomorrow I do not have class because of President's Day, never have I loved a pointless holiday to honor those who have probably caused more problems for the American people than anyone else...or maybe I'm just being way too cynical. We're going to go look at houses which will be nice I think.

My sister is currently cutting my dog's hair, and I am a little scared...I'll post a picture of her in my next blog so you can see the end result. But, on the subject of Ila: I am very, very proud of her right now. She has finally kicked the guy out of her life. She is so much happier and just is having a better life. He just crossed the line--BIG TIME. I will have to tell you about that at a different time. Also we found out she is having a little girl! She wants to name her Alexis Cheyenne (I'm not a big fan of the name, but it's not my choice I guess...)

As a response to your post: I know exactly how you feel. While my situation isn't as bad as yours, I still completely understand. Like for example this week I cooked dinner every day. No one else offered to do anything, even help me clean up. It was just as though they expected me to do everything. One night I decided I wasn't going to cook and no one even attempted to come up with an idea for dinner. Finally, around 8, I ended up making dinner and ugh it was just so frustrating. I mean geez, I thought maybe someone would step up and try to take some responsibility. Also, you can be a whiny bitch all you want, because I know I'll be one too at some point or another. :) This is a free zone, don't hold anything back!

For my next post I'll talk about how my Lent endeavor is going...that should be interesting haha. Anyway sorry to wait until late to post this, but I was cleaning.

Have a wonderful V-Day, even if it is lame and lonely because that's how mine was. Also the picture is of the bear my mom got me. (Sad, I know...the only gift I get is from my mom :P)

Expectations

Do you ever feel like you expect too much out of people? I mean, it's not a bad thing and it's not like our expectations are outrageous, but it's just that people are incapable of doing the simplest things. I also realize that it's my fault for not saying anything to help them become aware, but once again, it's my expectation that I shouldn't have to say anything for them to just get it! Let's see, for example, today I had to go buy paper towels for the suite again. The first time Staci bought them so I bought them the second time and then they ran out and I figured that one of my suitemates would notice and go buy them. I waited a couple of days and that didn't happen. Is it too much for me to expect people to notice such SIMPLE things and just do a nice thing? I mean honestly, I'm the one who continuously buys hand soap for the bathroom, cleaning supplies for the bathroom, etc. etc. for the suite. Oh sure, they say thank you when they notice, but afterward nothing. It's not like I'm made of money and can afford to take care of and clean after everyone. Hell, if I wasn't here, the bathroom would never get clean and the entire suite would be a freaking mess.

Yes, I do realize that this issue would be solved if I simply said something, but whatever. The point is that I shouldn't have to. Right? Tell me I'm right? Although I will totally understand if you hit me and tell me stop being a whiny bitch, because I know I am being one right now.

So it's the weekend and right now I am going to say that I will spend most of that time doing homework, but we both know that's a lie. I'll probably procrastinate and sleep and then stay up and do homework the night before it's due. Someone needs to hypnotize me and change my horrible work habits.

So the only rules I can think of for this is to always label your post with your name...and include a picture that you took within three days of when you posted. Yeah. Sound good? It doesn't necessarily have to be of yourself, but that would be cool. Haha.
