I couldn't sleep. It's still pretty early in the morning and nobody else in my family has awaken yet. I've probably woke up about 5 times last night, in approximately hourly intervals. (As much as I love summer and the heat that comes with it, sleeping in a hot room isn't something I'd like to go through.) And although I don't really like being awake so early (I'd much rather sleep in), it's only around this time where the outside of your window is so beautiful. The birds would do their morning bird calls. The plants would be struggling for sunlight. And pretty much, the world is waking up.
But I'm getting way ahead of myself.
About 20 minutes earlier, I checked my temperature. I got 100.4. Except, I don't feel as sick as yesterday where I was about 98 to 99. Yesterday morning, I woke up with a sore throat which eventually went away. But by the time I was done cooking and eating lunch, I started feeling very woozy. My head felt dizzy and it gave me a headache. My limbs shook; they were so weak that it would take me a couple of moments just to open a drawer or walk up/down the stairs. In general, I felt horrible yesterday, horribly ill. Today however, I'm much better off yet how the day will go through I will not know.
Chemistry is alright. I don't mind the class since the teacher is both clear and the lectures go by so fast. But I most definitely loathe doing labs. It's not my lab partner or the labs that we do, it's that I am extremely bad at doing labs. I can't really explain, but trust me, I'm not that great.
We took a test just last Thursday. Overall it was easy (especially when Dr.Dang reviewed almost everything beforehand.) I'm most positive that I got at least one question incorrect, but I hope it doesn't add up.
Oh! That reminds me: I met a friend in Chemistry class not too long ago. His name is Michael Wu/Woo (sp?). He goes to Hercules and also plays clarinet. I thought he looked familiar and I was right. He went to the senior recital to see Ruth. But I'm glad I have someone to hang out with. It gets awkward when you have to eat lunch alone.
Well, now that we've reached this far into the blog, I'm judging you intend to read this through. It's about time I brought up the highlight of my summer this year. At first I wasn't sure if I should even speak about it, but my mother said it was okay. See, on June 23/24 my grandfather passed away. His death stung our whole family and as of now, I still don't like to think about it.
But why am I telling you guys? So you can offer your sympathy? So I can finally let it out? Perhaps. But the main reason I'm telling you guys is so that you can practically drop any events you might think about inviting me to. As a way of respect, I have to follow some old traditions that my Chinese ancestors also had to follow. They include the following:
-I cannot go to another person's (besides my own family member's) house.
-I cannot also invite others over.
-In general I'm not suppose to "have fun" (such as going to the movie theaters) but little things may be okay.
-I cannot eat meat for a whole month. (This can explain my fatigue yesterday.)
-I cannot wear anything with real animal fur (not that I do anyway.)
-I cannot wear red.
That's pretty much it. I definitely do not mind doing this since he is my grandfather, but I do have to withdraw from several events that may come up. For one, I cannot go to birthday parties. I hope you guys are having a wonderful summer. :) |

About Me: I am an odd person. I'll admit it because I can't really figure out who I am exactly. I think that's what life is partially about: figuring out who you really are, that, and happiness. I don't think many do find out who they really are in the end, but make a marvelous journey trying. I think that's beautiful. Frankly, I don't really want to find that one word or thing that would describe me perfectly. I think I'll just sit along with the ride and let everything just roll as it goes. I'm a very spontaneous person.
