Today my boss lectured me for a really long time on the importance of saving money. I understand that he has good intentions, but sometimes I don't really get what he's saying. Anyway, I understood that he was trying to tell me that I should save up money for when I need it and that's good advice. So I'll do my best! Also, I have to work 5 days next week. I don't really like that my boss keeps telling me that if I wasn't his daughter's friend, he would've fired me a week ago. I mean, I'm doing my best.. and I think I've gotten better... well, I think he's just stressed out about his business. So I'll forget about that part of the conversation.
I have been watching dramas, watching movies, and watching the olympics. I played badminton today and I realized I really suck. If I do nothing else but play badminton/train for the next 4 years, would I have a chance at the olympics?! Probably not, but it's nice to fantasize about. I thought about it for rowing too, but that's about 1000x less possible.
Mainly the reason I'm updating is because I'm tired and I can't keep myself concentrating on this drama I'm watching. Because I don't really like 'period'/samurai/whatever dramas, but I forced myself to watch this one because good actors are in it. I guess if I knew Japanese history better it'd be more exciting.
Btw, Japan got bronze in the men's 400 relay! yay, except no one cares because Phelps got his 8th gold. Haha, Xu & Sarah and I were talking today about how that's basically what everyone in America has been focusing on and it's kind of annoying. But Phelps has probably accomplished more than I ever will in my life, so good for him.
