Caution:
long story ahead...
Things have been alright around here. We are getting the house painted. I'm not real fond of the color. It’s just a cream color and my mom wants the shutters a dark green. The house used to be white and blue. Damn I wish my scanner worked!
Friday I went and got my sinus CT scan done. I had to lie on my stomach for 10 minutes with my eyes closed and without moving. Oddly enough, the only thing that hurt was keeping my arms at my side. My doc called me with the results this morning. He said my sinuses were clear and showed no sign of disease. Turns out my headaches aren't sinus. Now the next step is to go to a neurologist. What a mess!
School is going well. We are REALLY getting into the semester now. I already have a project due next Tuesday. My first Bio test went ok. I got a 75. I would have done so much better if it weren't for the fill in the blank part. The class average was 68. Ouch! So he's being nice and giving us an extra credit quiz on Monday worth 20 points that will be added to our test grade.
I was so sad today. I never thought I would be discriminated and the "minority" in my own country. My Family & Community class is full of people that can barely speak english. Most are from across the border but some have lived in town for a while now. On the first day of school we played a game where the teacher would ask a question and you had to move to one side of the room or the other. Questions like "if you have a job, move to the left". So I stayed on the right since I don't work. The teacher asked some more questions and the last one was "who here speaks more than one language?" so EVERYBODY in the class moves to the other side of the room. Everybody... but me. Today we did this circle thing where it was kind of like musical chairs. Musical partners is more like it. Short story long... we had to go in opposite directions and stop and talk to the person in front or behind us. People were actually avoiding me because I don't speak spanish and they are more comfortable speaking spanish. It SUCKED. Most of the people in my class will look at me and start talking to me in spanish. I'll just look at them blankly and say "what" and then they will translate. I hate it. I wish I spoke spanish. I blame my dad a lot cuz he raised me 4 days out of the week when I was between 2 - 4 years old. He could have easily taught me. I blame myself too cuz I admit, I don't try hard at all. I sometimes understand things. Like when Matt will talk to me in spanish I can understand about half of what he says. As soon as I graduate, I'm out of this damn town!
