Oh, senior at college??
Gambate!!

Yep. Thanks. Only a few more months to go and I'm free.

Let's see, only a couple more months and I get to go into sophomore year.
Not fun.
x.x

Highschool or college? Either one kind of sucked I suppose :chuckles:

High school.
x.x

Eh, yeah. High school sucked more.

Yeah, especially with my mom nagging about how good grades are oh so important.
x.x

They're important enough. ^^;

Yes, but still.
A B+ isn't that bad out there.
x.x

True, that's not too bad ^^

And yet getting three B+s on my first report card allowed me to be banned from debate team.
x.x

Mother's orders.

Isn't that a little harsh?

Yush.
I'm still pissed at her.

Have you tried talking to her about it? ^^;

yesh, and her response was, "it's for your own good. you can't concentrate on schoolwork if your mind is on writing cases"
>.>

Meh >>; So spend a little less time on it, don't ban you from it.

They don't think like that.
I have superbly asian parents.
x.x

But my report cards are gonna come out, and hopefully if I scrape A-s or As, I'll be able to go back to debate.
x.x

Ah ^^; Kind of the stereotypical mindset thing going on?

Except it's true??
x.x

Stereotypes are based on truth.

Sometimes. I don't much believe in adhering to them, though. Everyone deviates from them in some way or other, some more than others.

Hm, maybe.
But my parents are still very asian.
x.x

Ah. ^^ I grew up in a different atmosphere than most.

Was it a love love atmosphere?

Ever since reading the Joy Luck Club, I've felt so connected to the characters there.
x.x

In a way. I've always been considered a member of the family. It didn't matter if I was a kid or not. I had a part in everything - where we moved, what the names of my siblings are etc. For school, all that was expected was that I did my best. If I got a B after studying, that was ok.

Love family.

That's not my family.
If I get a B+ even if I studied my ass off, it would always be, you didn't study enough.
Sometimes it gets so frustrating.
