O M GEE! It's that time of year again, where the weather is so beautiful and warm outside, and all you want to do is lie on the grass with your friends and hang out. Yes -- you guessed it correctly. It's FINAL EXAM PERIOD! Where I'm from anyways, we have final exams during the last few weeks of April to the first week of May, and for me is one of the most dreaded times of the year  I just hate exams! Or perhaps the correct word would be despise? I get to stuck inside my house or in the library studying my brains out. Then to only pour out what information I actually retained on the papers they hand out during exams. Haha~  Anyways, this semester I have 4 of them coming up! This is what my schedule looks like till May 2nd!

• April 24: Business Law Exam
• April 27: Chemistry Final Exam (elective course! woohoo?!)
• April 28: Advanced Managerial Accounting Exam (gross)
• May 1: Income Taxation in Canada Exam (double gross)

Anyways, after I am done these exams, I will be FREE for the summer! yay! Except for work - cause I'll be working lol. But at least I'm not going to be taking any summer courses this time around (although they do help speed up the graduation process..) to rest my brain abit, since I've been in school all year round (including last summer vacation with 4 courses too..)

GOOD LUCK ON YOUR EXAMS TOO (if you have any! && if you don't ..well BLEH  i wish I was you haha)

I decided to make a new deviantart account. It's not like my old one that I used to have where I posted my drawings. It's where I'll be posting my fashion photos   so if you want to check it out here's a link: http://letsplaydressup.deviantart.com ~ (and if you have a DA account, add me! )

I bought 2 new books last week~ which is rare for me XD since I barely do any reading for my own pleasure...but I went to Indigo and picked 2 novels up that I thought looked interesting. I got a gift card for my birthday worth $50 from my aunt, so I decided to use some of it up! I bought "It's kind of a funny story" by Ned Vizzini, which is a novel I actually saw in teen vogue magazine (yes, I like to read magazines) and it's about a 15 year old guy who suffers from depression and attempts to suicide off of a bridge. I won't give too much detail in case you would want to read it too.

I think I  might have a mild case of depression? In the book it sort of lists some of the symptoms a person has if they do suffer from depression and I seem to have some of them! But it's not that surprising since I don't really feel happy in this stage of my life. I'm not shy to say that nothing is really exciting to me anymore. And my last visit to my doctor we actually talked about whether or not I was happy. And my answer was no...but anyways back to telling you about the second book I bought! Oh, and I actually alraedy finished reading "It's kind of a funny story" in I think 3 days. (That's how I spent the last few days of my spring break..besides helping to clean around the house) The second novel I picked up is " The Gatecrashers" which is by Sophie Kinsella. She also writes the series "Shopaholic" which is one of my favourite book series. (Except those novels are more for girls, in case you're a guy and you're reading this! But who says guys can't also read it too? )

 This novel I haven't read yet, but I'm going to start reading it tonight I think before I go bed! I think there's a movie with the same title, but I'm not totally sure. I'm not really good at remembering movie titles and who acts in the movies. From the back of the novel it's about a woman named Fleur who crashes funerals and tries to find love o_o; so I'm assuming it's a lot like the movie "wedding crashers". I really like this author so I  think I'll also enjoy this novel! 

Anyways I think that's all I really have to ramble about..if you know of any good books you think I'd want to read please leave a comment~

Cheers

GETTING MY HAIRCUT TOMORROW ;3

im su excited. peace <3

The following are five things about being asian that I dislike: [caution: these are my opinions,so don't take offense to them...if you do then I apologize in advance ;3]

1. When you're out and riding on a bus or metro,another asian - or more specifically an older asian man or woman makes eye contact with you and throughout your whole ride, they don't stop staring. I don't know what exactly this is,when they see another asian person, (ie. A chinese grandmother sees me on a metro train) they stare at you the whole time. Do I have something on my face?..Is my shirt on backwards? @-@
2. "You're asian - you must be Chinese". Ok, so maybe I am Chinese, but there are alot of other asian cultures or languages that are out there besides being Chinese...And then they automatically think that because you are Chinese, you have to be smart or know a lot of things."Oh....I thought you were smart..what happened?" *sighs*
3. "You eat weird food". Here I am not talking about general tao chicken, or anything like Shanghai noodles or chow mein. I am talking about the fact that people cannot handle that people in the world might eat dogs (obivously not the kind you would keep as pets =_=)or sea urchins, or cow brains or anything that is not ordinarly found at a place like McDonalds or Burger King. Well, people who are poor will eat anything that they have access to. It is the same as eating any other foods like chicken or beef. It is just that these animals have always been depicted as the kinds of animals that people keep as pets.
4. The fact that many asians do not have manners. This of course doesn't apply to all asians. But, from experience of working in a Chinese restaurant for about 3 years, I can say that many of those workers did not have good manners. They will raise their voices really loud in order to communicate with you, even though you are in the same room as them. you can probably hear them from 50miles away. Or the fact that when a lot of them eat dinner, they will talk with their mouths full. (while speaking really loud) >..< I really am self conscious about the whole "don't talk with your mouth full" idea. I believe that it is good manners to chew and swallow before you speak. I don't like seeing the food your are chewing while I am having a conversation with you. Then there is the cutting off of speech. Ok, so you have a lot of things to say. But that doesn't mean that you always have to cut off what I am saying. Again, I go along with the "Let others have a say before you put your own 2 cents in". Maybe I am just too americanized? Is this really the culture that I belong to =__=
5. Lastly, the fact that many asian parents have a need to brag about their kids accomplishments to other asian parents. Well, this is good when you're child is doing well in school,and by all means,you should have a right to tell others. But not excessively. Don't bore us with the list of activities that you're child is in and start listing everything O: ie: "Yes,my daughter is so involved in extracurricular activities, she plays piano,goes swimming, plays the flute, tutors highschool kids, O did I tell you she got an A+ in advanced physics? O and did I mention she plays piano?" ..It is ok to mention good things about your child, but not to brag about it all the time. It really can get tiresome.

Anyways these are just a few of the big things that bug me with the fact that I am asian. I have thought about what it wouldbe like if I wasn't asian. Of course, there are also good things about being asian. I just like to point out some of the bad things, or at least what I consider to be bad, about being an asian.
