| so i've been thinking about getting more piercings lately.... i currently have 5. they're all on my earlobes (3 on the left, 2 on the right). i would never get anything other than my ears pierced, so i was thinking of possibly getting cartilage pierced. with 3 more on the right and 3 more on the left. all of them would be on the helix and top ear, mind you.
when i was younger and even up until very recently, i've been very against getting my cartilage pierced after hearing horror stories and my parents constantly telling me that having more than one piercing on each ear was bad (which, i know, did not affect my getting 3 other ones...).
but now, i think i'm a bit more ok with the thought of getting cartilage piercings except for the fact that almost everyone suggests getting them done with needles. normally, that wouldn't make such a big difference, but i'm kinda freaked out by needles thanks to a quadrillion shots, having a tube inserted into me, and having IVs while i was in the hospital (and seeing the latter 2 causing me to unnecessarily lose lots of blood). yeah.
so currently, i'm weighing out how much i want the piercings against my fear of needles and how they would look as i get older....
comments, anyone?

| so it's been forever since anyone's really used xanga. i don't blame them since the administrators of xanga have changed so much. and i'll tell you the truth, i don't i really like xanga anymore now that the entire site's reformatted.
anyway. i started xanga in 7th grade. it's a little strange to think that i've been posting personal thoughts and ideas and what i've gone through on the web for the world to see. but now that it's 5 years later, and i'm entering college, it's kinda fun to look back on how much i've changed in terms of how i portray myself to the outside to world.
but i guess the really interesting part is how i've stayed the same.
i wonder who will even notice i came back to xanga today? O.o | | |
| whoa. it's been a long time since i could access xanga. ...since Christmas in Hong Kong. i dunno how to work this thing anymore. >< anyway.... i'm moving back to michigan this summer, for those who don't know. but i'll be in ann arbor... i dunno how many people see this tho. you guys should log onto facebook and check my notes there if you want deep and profound thoughts. i think i'll just be journaling on here... btw: i'm in michigan already. got in thursday. email me or something to get a hold of me... i'll tell ppl once i get a phone.... or something. | | |
| ok. so a lot's happened in the past week or so. too bad i'm too lazy to explain. but to be honest, it didn't feel like just a week. felt like months. it's weird to think about it... u'd get part of the story if i u go on facebook.
ANYWAY... i'm in hong kong right now, on winter break. (have been on break since thursday afternoon) and OMG. it's freaking warm. it's like in the 70s. i don't think it was this warm last summer. i mean, i'm in shorts and a t-shirt right now. it's like WHOA, it's winter. huh?? but yes. it is winter. if only shanghai were this warm in the winter... well, i guess cold is nice too. just wish i could control the weather sometimes..
haven't done much since i've been here... well, kinda. i met up with celine and her friend yesterday... which was pretty fun. we took sticky pics and were asian. haha...
i'm supposed to be here until 12-31. but we might end up staying longer cuz of the ID thing my mom needs to pick up for my brother... so we might be leaving on my birthday. but to be honest, i should really be getting back before then so i can hang out with one of my really awesome friends who's stuck in shanghai w/o like anyone else there right now. plus i haven't talked to her in a while... i feel like i haven't seen her in AGES ><
so after almost 3 yrs of living in the huge city of shanghai, i've decided that city life isn't so bad after all... i mean, i am actually a city girl after all, being born in hong kong and everything... it's just a little overwhelming sometimes... but for the most part, it's pretty ok.
i really should do my APUSH hw soon. i know it's break and all but if i honestly don't do anything academic, i'm gunna be so screwed when i get back to school.
NARG. why is it that every time we come back to hong kong we always go to the history and science museums? is my family that nerdy? hmm... oh well. at least the history's museum's AWESOME. ^^

| the future. it's kinda all based on grades. with good grades in high school, you can get into a good college. with good grades in college, you can get into a good graduate school or a better job. but what if you're just not the type that's good at school? you're just left with whatever other ppl don't want. and i have to say, that kinda stinks. it's not a fair system but that's how the world works.
i mean, sure i want good grades, but that doesn't mean i'll get them. i'm not the type of person who can have no life and sit at home studying all day. even if i am at home all day, i'm most likely on the piano, guitar, or computer doing other stuff i like more.
for the past month my grades have been steadily declining. i need to get myself out of this hole i dug.
i just got my SAT scores back (which honestly did not turn out so well), so i went to check on the average scores for UM and MSU. and i have to say, UM is too competitive for my liking. but it's not like i really wanna go to MSU. i also found out that BU seems easier to get into, which surprised me.
from the beginning i wanted to take just the ACT but then i moved here, where they don't offer it.
so now, i need to study my butt off and work harder than i ever have before or else i won't accomplish what i set for myself yrs ago. (i've actually thought about college since my oldest sister graduated from high school...)
what's wrong with me? it's thanksgiving and all i'm thinking about is what bad grades i have.
i need to take a moment and thank God for everything he's given to me: friends who could care less about how stupid i could be parents that don't go crazy when i get horrible grades music for me to express my thoughts and feelings
i can't get off the topic of grades. i'm sorry... to everyone and myself.
i need to get away... | | |
