hoobae

Tonight I had one of the best online conversations I’ve had in a very long time.

I love my hoobae.

비가 많이 오네~

so i was feeling all ranty and venty (nice, huh?) about my grades, when suddenly i remembered a joke my parents made a lot during freshman year.

아빠!!! 엄마!!! B가 너무 많아!!! (and all sort of variations)
Dad! Mom!  I have so many Bs!

아, 그래?  ㅋㅋㅋ  그럼 우산을 하나 필요하겠네… 하나 보낼 줄까?
Oh, is that so?  haha.  Then I guess you need an umbrella…  Should we send you one?

Premise of the joke is that rain in Korean is [bi] (like the singer).  So corny.

Oh, my standards are too low.

So what if my gpa sucks?  So what.  Maybe I won’t go to a good law school (or law school at all, haha) and… then… well, there are ways.  :)  After all, I’m not at Princeton to get good grades.

Although, I really ought to have higher standards and work harder.  Work more efficiently.  :)

it’s not fair

IT’S NOT FAIR

i really want to stay for dead week

why does princeton have to have such a crappy schedule?  first of all our summer starts so late that my internship is bound to expect me to come immediately.  secondly, appa starts summer school on june 9th and my family wants to spend some time together on a trip together somewhere nearby.  if i go on june 4th like i originally planned, it gives me no time to spend with my family.

that means i have to leave during dead week.

i’m so frustrated i could cry.  i’ve never stayed for dead week and i really want to.  julia talks about it all the time and how much fun it is.  i was really looking forward to this year so that i could stay and enjoy free time AT PRINCETON with my friends.

this year’s timing sucks.  i’m missing eumin’s graduation (EUMIN’S GRADUATION!!!) because of damn finals and i can’t even stay for dead week.  and i have to pay (probably a lot) extra to change my freaking plane ticket.

i hate you princeton i hate you i hate you i hate you

first you make me not sleep and stress eat like crazy (okay, no one makes me do that except myself… and my family’s genes, hahaha) and freak out about damn papers, and NOW THIS!?

i’m so close to crying.  (julia just guilt tripped me.)  is it because of the lack of restful sleep or the stress or because i’m really upset about this?

…

oh boo hoo, sumin, your life is so hard.  suck it up.

it’s so hot

I forgot that I don’t like hot weather.  I like it a little cool, you know?

I was happy to come to school in New Jersey because it wasn’t supposed to be hot and humid like Mississippi.

Little did I know that New Jersey also suffered from heat and humidity.

And little did I know that the North was barbaric and did not have proper air conditioning capabilities.

They say the South is backwards… Um, hello, Yankees?  You DON’T EVEN HAVE AIR CONDITIONING IN SOME BUILDINGS.  HOW BARBARIC.

where did all the time go?

I woke up tremendously early to choose classes.  (Read: 6:50am, which is normal time for a lot of people, it seems.)

Fact: I will be a senior next year, no matter how badly I finish my JP.

Oh my.  What?   How did this happen?  I now suddenly have plans for senior year.  (Okay, so I always had plans for senior year… no, I made plans for senior year.)

I don’t even have plans for the summer.  What am I supposed to do POST-GRADUATION?!?!?

Observation: I remember that junior year of high school was my hardest year.  Suddenly, junior year is no longer surprising.

Observation #2:  I must finish my JP this weekend.  Crap.
