How Rude!

I was at the drive through of a fast food chain today ordering a veggie burrito (I don't know why I like eating that.) today. I was at the drive thru window,when a older white man came stop abruptly in front of me, and got out of his car. Where he then walked towards my car and the drive thru window to have them fix his order.

When he got to the window, he yelled the employee for getting his order wrong. To apologize for having to inconvenience me, he then ranted to me about those workers not knowing English (which they could speak perfectly), being stupid and not getting an education, and how he is so annoyed. At that point I was already annoyed with the man.

I guess he realized later on that I was a minority because he told me he thought Asian were better. Asians actually tried he said. That only made me more annoyed.

He went on to tell me to get me my masters, and that his son was a 22 year old hot shot in NY making $120k starting. He told me his son got his masters at 22, which is very impressive. I didn't mind his ramblings about doing well in school because I know that education is important, but then he always had to add some insulting remarks to the workers there. How I should become all powerful and boss these "nobodies" around.

I really dislike racism or when people think they are better than others. We're all humans, and I think we should take care of each other. (I love anthropology because you can see how closely we all really are.)I never know how to handle these situations or if I should just ignore them.

I just hope I never offend anyone because of my rude behavior.

Busy Bee

Work has been interesting. It's not hard or really all that bad, but I think I've been so spoiled lately that it's hard to go back to a job where you have to stand on your feet all day and make barely anything. Not that I am complaining. It's nice to have another job, and have a way of making more money to do the things I want.

It's just that I love the kind of job where you can work on your own pace, make tons of money doing some work, and where I am using my brain rather than using my muscles. I shouldn't complain, I should just be grateful, and I am.

With that said... I apologize for being terrible at picking up and answering calls, texts, e-mails, etc. It's no excuse, but I feel like I am busy all the time, and I sometime fall asleep during the day, get really lazy or forget.

Wouldn't it be nice if I just win the lottery instead? I would take 100 of my closest friend (Not that I have that many) and take them around the world on vacation. That would be so nice...

I Want to...

I really am DYING to go on a camping trip. I have been to a few in the last few years, but I want to go again. I want to see something as beautiful as Yosemite (D). A place to eat ice cream and pizza while admiring the trees and river. Oh, how I miss trip like those.

I don't know. I think I could settle for almost any trip. I want to go to Universal Studios Florida to go to Harry Potter Land, Maine for Lobsters, Washington DC for museums, Yellowstone for geysers, or even San Francisco.

That should motivate me to work more hours. That way I can do more things. :)

Freeeeeeedom

Oh how nice it is to finally get a break from school. What shall I do with my time? Something productive? Pick up extra hours at work? Do a little cleaning? Read more?

Why of course not (except to the reading...)! I'm already planning my days (when I am not forced to work) watching a ridiculous amount of movies, tv, and especially KOREAN DRAMAS. How how I have missed thee. How life has been a little bit lonelier without you to take me on an emotional roller coaster.

I don't know though... I feel a little guilty being lazy, and it's only the first few days. When I don't work... I feel like I should somehow be refreshing my mind with something. Summer school perhaps?

I guess I shall just go with the flow...

Stress Galore

I don't know how I will get through the massive pile of grading, all the studying, and lack of sleep. I am already strung out so thin that I want to snap. I want a day to do nothing, and sleep in, but no.

I can't really blame anyone but myself for leaving things last minute, and not studying when I am suppose to. That and the fact that I strive for perfect grades.

I can see the end of the tunnel. I am almost there, but I still have to get through tons of grading, and make time to study. EEEKKKKKKK. Save me!

Headaches

I don't know if I have just be dehydrated for the last few days, and it's giving me a headache or maybe it's the fact that I'm stressed out with the final weeks of school. Wow, school is coming to an end, and that is a little bittersweet for me.

Who knew I would love the classes I currently have right now? I didn't think I would enjoy any of the classes that I was taking because honestly... I was never exposed to it. That just proves that knowledge can be fun, and that you should try things even if you think you won't like it. (Ok, I'll stop my nerdy lecture... Next I'll talk about world peace. Just kidding.)

As old as I am, I feel like I am still self discovering who I really am. I feel like there is always some deep corner of my personality that I still haven't discovered. I'm still learning who I really am, and maybe that self discovery really never does end.

I still haven't figured life out.

Wow, why do I do sound like a philosopher? Oh how dangerous that would be... I would ponder my life away. ;)

Random Dreams

I have been having really random dreams lately... dreams where there would be a killer after my family. Dreams of being on a date with Thor (Yes, I watch too many movies). Even dreams about hunting (I blame that on the Hunger Games).

The more that I think about my dreams, the more I realize that I dream every night, and that I have more than one dream a night. It's weird. I never thought about it before, but after watching a segment on a show about being more aware of your dreams, I became more aware.

I know some of you keep a dream journal, and other usually always remember what they dream about, but I have never been the person to ever remember a dream unless it scared the daylights out of me.

At lot of times I can't get over a book I am reading or a movie I am watching... it stays on my mind until it resurfaces in my dreams. Sometimes when I am unhappy about an ending to a movie, I will dream an alternate ending. It sounds weird doesn't it?

I don't think my dreams necessarily mean anything except that maybe sometimes I am worried about something or I am stressed, but it's interesting to see what kind of imagination I have. :)

Happy Mama's Day!

I love my mama, and I am ever so happy that she is still here with me. She's everything I hope to be, and she really is the person I look up to. She doesn't know how much I adore her, and how I think the sun sets and rises on her.

I hope you all tell your mother how much you appreciate them today. :)

On a different note, I just finished the Hunger Games series I have been reading for awhile, and was wondering if anyone out there have any suggestions on what I should read next?

Mail Obsession

I am one of those people who really loves getting mail. Whether it's a free sample, a postcard from a faraway stranger, or birthday cards... I just love getting mail.

I may or may not get excited to take the mail in each day. It's a great day when I get a postcard or even a coupon for something that I need to buy. It almost doesn't matter what the piece of mail is... as long as it's for me.

It probably sounds strange to you, but I think it really shows how easily amused I am. :)

Material Goods

I'm not generally materialistic, (Well, maybe I would be if I had tons of money) but I saw something really adorable that I want so bad.

I love elephants, and I really love Fossil bags and wallets. I am not usually into expensive things, but Fossil always has the most adorable things. I have always loved Fossil bags for as long as I can remember.

While I was window shopping today, I saw something that caught my eyes. An elephant wallet. I was so excited to see it, but suddenly felt deflated when I saw the price tag. No way was I going to be able to justify that much money for a wallet.

But it physically hurt to walk away. It was so very hard when I left the store.

Hahaha. I can be so dramatic sometimes... ;)

Random Chats

BOOOOOM! That is the sound of my grade crashing because I have just presented my group project. I don't know why certain people can't speak louder when they are being asked to? SIGH. Life goes on.

I had a lot of interesting things happen to me this week. I just got another part time job. Yay for making more money although I will mourn all of that free time I used to have.

On a whim, I decided to have a chat with my anthropology teacher about her career. She went to school to be primatologist, and I am just so fascinated with her field. I learned so much. She traveled a lot, and has advised me that I must do the same. There is just something so fascinating you experience when you are able to travel the world and see all sort of things. Not just traveling to first world country, but to travel to the poor ones. I want to be just like her! Well... maybe not the same career, but you get my gist.

There are piles of things for me to do, so I guess I must stop procrastinating and get to it. :/

New Hobby

Well, I always say I need more things to do or that maybe I should be more productive with all the free time I have. Although it sure doesn't feel like that this week. I have been trying to finish the last book in the Hunger Games series, and I seriously just have to do too many things.

Summer is around the corner though, so it'll be perfect for my new volunteering position. I'll be working at my local animal shelter. I can't wait to wash the puppies and play with the kittens and bunnies. How fun will that be! I realize that I am working with a lot of unwanted dogs that won't be looking their cutest, but I think it will be fun to do once in awhile. :)

P.S. Happy yesterday birthday, Julie.

It's May!

Oh, how I can't wait until school is over, and I can sit around and do as I please. (Not that don't do that now.) It's becoming hectic as it is almost the end of the semester, and I am feeling all of the pressures and stress that I usually feel around this time.

I have had time to read the last few days, and started to on a new series called, "The Hunger Games". I can't believe how long it has been since I spent a lazy day reading for so long that I lose all track of time.

The series is pretty good, and I find myself looking forward to the movie that will come out next year.

Other than that I have been up to nothing too interesting, and have spent a great deal being a vegetable that I love to be. :)
