From my trip... i know...i'm wasting time posting when I should be studying for my 2 tests. It's been a hard semester, especially with my boyfriend gone away. It gets lonely. Nobody to really hang out with or talk to, so I've just been spending a lot of time at the restaurant, hanging out w/ my parents...whom I'm worried for--both for their health and whether or not I'll be around them in the future after I graduate. What if I get a job far away? Away from everyone else, where I know nobody...? Well, that's in the future, right now, at least I still have my parents. I don't know, I guess I just lost people to jabber on with...like complaining about things...it's nice when u have someone to complain to. But not lately. Everyone's got their own boo, mine's far away working his tush off...too busy to be on the phone for too long. stupid oil and gas industries, working ppl like slaves. So my teacher went off about how his son got in a bike accident while crossing causeway on a bike coming from lakeside mall. He was going forward...it was a red light for the cars...but the car turning right sped up and turned anyways and hit him. The police comes and tells the boy he's wrong, doesn't call his parents (he's a minor), and lets the driver go. It's the great Jefferson police system at work there...or is it the morals of that particular policeman? Justice I tell you. So my teacher was really upset about how the legal system/prejudice in America was. He was so upset, he let the whole class know it. It's ok, he had to let it off his chest...and being a "fatherly figure" lectured us. I feel sorry for him and what his son went through. I mean, now his son wonders why he's in America and not back in Korea. My teacher, always going on about the "American Spirit" to his son, is now left with a foot in his mouth, not knowing how to go on teaching his son to be a just person when such injustice was brought upon him. But at least my teacher said this, that even though someone was mean to you, you still have to be nice to him. Turning the other cheek. I hope for the best in the law suit. I hope they find that police and get him fired. Anyways, some people in the class didn't approve the teacher's shpeel about justice in America, but it's not like he was accusing us. He was just opening his heart on the injustice on his family. One more lesson learned, one more story heard. Doesn't mean the teacher is a bad person. Anyways, I'm glad I finally got that off my chest. I have a lot of other weight to carry. This job application process bites. It's like applying to college but worse. No essays or anything, but people do chew your head off for an "unexceptional" resume (even though you've spent 3 years updating it and has been edited 3 times by career counselors). Then there are the trains of people telling you you're not good enough for their job becuase you don't have enough experience. Total bastards I tell you. Those people! Why would they go to a "college" career fair and expect people to have worked in the work force for several years already? Everyone in college has either internships or research. Nowadays, with the shortages in engineers...maybe they shouldn't be so picky! No wonder there's a shortage. **NOTE** Don't work for Google. |
so i didn't get to sleep for a while. And then the power goes off for a few mintues at 4 AM. And I was in my room baking under the covers too! 
like rain was going 360 degrees! it was crazy! I get to class, and I'm SOAKED from head to toe...cause my umbrella...it's a a standard collapsable size and the wind was attacking it in all directions! So i walk down to the basement and i FALL down the stairs! like flat on my butt...kicked the girl in front of me almost knocking her down. but she was ok, she was just worried about me...I was ok...BUT my umbrella got BENT! HMPH! 
and then he holds up an umbrella and is like "does anyone need an umbrella? I have an extra one..." and i shot up my hand like ME ME!!! and he lets me borrow it! Talk about GOD'S GRACE!!! i know i was wearing my Lucky Care Bear shirt today...but HONESTLY! I really think God's looking out for me...cause if it wasn't for that little umbrella (it's a kiddy umbrella!), I would never have gotten the chance to go to the library to borrow a book to study for my test! THANK the LORD! LoL!
