My IQ and EQ has dropped 20 points since April...
...if only that was my weight.
These four months have been stressful without the stress. It`s hard to explain it in words. I don`t feel challenged at work so I`m wondering how I`m actually learning anything. I`m getting more and more fed up with my parents and even my brother now.
Lately, I feel as if my communication skills have gone down the drain. I don`t know if it`s being back home and trying to speak Chinese (properly), but my grammar and sentence structures are horrible. My mom has a bad habit of speaking. She doesn`t understand the concept of appropriate timing of speech. It pisses me off. Whenever I ask her a question, she answers back with another questions or some answer that doesn`t satisfy my question. It`s so annoying.
Here`s an example:
Me - That`s a nice shirt, where did you get it?
Mom - When are you moving back to Waterloo?
Me - Next week. Where did you get your shirt?
Mom - Are you going out tonight?
Me - MOM!
Mom - What? Stop yelling.
Me - Where did you get your shirt?
...
No I`m not kidding about this. I wish I was. My entire life since I was a child has been like this. It`s annoying. Beyond annoying.
I also began to notice that I never seem to get what I want when I ask for something. But when I speak up, I feel like I`m screaming at the person.
Another example (that has happened so many times this summer):
Bloor Street Diner
Me - May I get a club salad?
Waiter - Club sandwich
Fire on the East Side
Me - May I get the grilled chicken sandwich?
Waitress - Grilled cheese and bacon sandwich (
I`m not ready for this school year. My brain is unmotivated to think. My heart is just too tired of not being heard.
