Just updating on my life.

3:46 PM

My life is just as good as it could ever be. I’ve gotten my mind off school for the past few days, regretably. Just for the record, there’s no particular purpose in me writing this entry– I just want to look back one day and think, “so this is how my life was back on…November 8th, 2008″. This might be interesting to people who are curious about some random teenage Chinese Canadian girl’s life.  

For the past few weeks, I’ve had people badgering me from time to time about this club I want to start. I personally think it’s a good idea and I haven’t gotten any criticism yet. It’s going to be called the Asian Student Association. I know that it’s going to be somewhat controversial because it’s focused on Asia and its culture but I actually have a very good reason for this. Besides the fact that I am Asian, I’m starting to get really annoyed at the amount of attention Africa is getting. I know they’re poor, miserable, and sick, but so are the people in Asia. These organizations claim to be working towards ending world poverty but all I’ve been seeing is ending the poverty in Africa. Also, I like pandas and I don’t want them to disappear from the face of the earth. I’m sure there are people who’ll agree with me on that. Anyways, there are a lot of misconceptions of being “Asian” despite the population of Asians all over the world. Just because these Chinatown restaurants have mice running all over the place doesn’t mean all Chinese restaurants do. Just because some Chinese drivers are ridiculous doesn’t mean all of them are. Even Chinese people are starting to discriminate themselves! For some reason, there’s a border between Mainland Chinese, Hong Kong Chinese, and probably Taiwanese Chinese. In any case, I want to clear these misconceptions in everyone’s mind. It’d be fun to teach Asian culture and learn a few things myself. We could make tofu….All this is starting to sound like a Chinese club because I’m Chinese but I plan to start a committee with an individual representing each Asian…culture. Sounds good, right? Now I just need to run it through administration when the time is right…

My units are okay, I’m not too behind because I’ve only recently stopped working consistently. I have confidence that I can go back on track any time I want but I really shouldn’t be procrastinating any longer. I wouldn’t want my workload to accumulate. Relaxing and doing nothing is so enjoyable though! I’ll edit this post later and record the time… Time to work on something else.
