monday monday monday
Can I just say that I'm about a week behind in homework, I have a 1000 word essay due tomorrow for an online class, and i'm choosing to sit here and blog?
really. go me.
And really, wasting all my night last night watching the VMA's hit it hard. And we still have to go grocery shopping! I can do it, I can do it.
I'm yet again looking for a job, seeing as my current one is not giving me hours. rent, car, cell phone, and groceries don't just pay themselves! Although I wish they did. That would be fantastic!
my grandma bought me a cute digital camera. she's pretty rad. I think she was really tired of me borrowing hers all the time.
lets talk about culture pressures. Have any of you been badgered about not dating or not having a boyfriend? My parents think i'm weird that i've never done/had either one, and are insisting that my life is not going "the way I want it" because of this. In MY latino culture, I should already be married and have 5 kids. haha, no but seriously, minus the kids. I should be in some sort of relationship. I think this is a very big gap within the american culture and my native puerto rican culture. If I lived in Puerto Rico, I'm sure that things would be different, and I would have gone through a few relationships because it's encouraged. What have I learned here? INDEPENDENCE! WOOO WOOO. I don't NEED a man to keep me DOWN! And damn straight have a learned the lesson of being independent. So, it's a tug-of-war between cultures. On one latino hand, I should be shooting for family but on the other american hand, I should be going out and finding a career and being successful for the advancement of my gender. Where to I draw the line? What do I really believe in? All these questions, and it's no wonder why i'm so eager to be an Anthropology major. I think culture identity is really something that many people face here in the United States, especially those that are "non-white". If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to share.
but enough about that, I think i'll go attempt to eat something and do some homework. wish me luck.
ciao ciao!
really. go me.
