I had a good day yeterday. I found out that in 10 years, I'll have 350k to buy my own house or build one. My sisters are getting the samething. So like, when my sister is 26, she might have her own $350k house. We already know MY house will be cooler. I swear, I will have a water slide in my house.
I got some work back (2 test and an essay). A on one test and B on the other. I'm not too satisified with the B but at least I know what to expect from his test next time. I'll study to make an A for sure. 23/25 on my essay. I could have made a 25 but apparently he wanted a work cited. He said, "this is not a report so you don't have to look things up". So I just sat down one night and wrote 3 pages about the 14th century. I didn't look anything up. It's still an A. I don't care.
Kung Fu Hustle came in Wednesday. I watched it twice since. At first, I was disappointed, but the second time around was a lot better. The fighting was most excellent. The envoy international movie night comittee has not gotten back to me about what movie they decided on. I still hope they pick Kung Fu Hustle instead of a movie from France or Iran. IRAN!!! I didn't even know they made movies. Kung Fu Hustle will definately draw the biggest crowd. No doubt in my mind. (Uncle Rico quote).
In the computer labs at school, I've noticed a lot of people checking their "internet friend's" xanga/livejournal. Everytime I see someone at a blog website, I roll my eyes back and die a little inside. I probably shouldn't care. It's none of my business.
I think I got my serve down in tennis. I got 65% of first serves in once I figured out how I should be doing it. At the very last moment before the racquet hits the ball, I bend the wrist so that the racquet aims down. I just need to practice that more and ball placement in the serves and I'll be set.
I was thinking: What if I just started using chinese phrases in everyday english? For example, my little cousin Nhi who is 5 years old. She ask a lot of questions. Instead of saying "I don't know" if I don't know how to answer her question, I'll say "Wo bu zhi dao". Is it possible to get some short common mandarin phrases intergrated into everyday dialogue? We'll see in a few years.
