  • 8 more days...

    I just finished my first presentation at the HR staff meeting. The final presentation to the Board will be on Monday, and after that I'll be done with my summer project here. I'm feeling especially tired today, not because I didn't go to bed till after 1 o'clock last night, or because I've been in meetings all day and trying to fix my PowerPoint slides for the presentation and had my manager nagging me about how I couldn't finish all the slides within the 30mins assigned to me in the meeting. I feel done, done with the internship and done with Folsom. I talked to Rachel last night about the classes we're gonna take together next quarter, and the Malongas she's going to drag me with her to, and plan after plan of what we can do when I go back. I felt I was ready to leave, to go back to the life I'm used to, where there are friends, classes and frozen junk food. I guess everybody gets tired of things they do after a while, even though the life is totally a stress-free one.

    My baby cousin started pre-school last week. Well she isn't exactly a baby any more since she's already three and half years old, but I really can't picture how she would look as a kid. Until I go home and see her again, this is how I will always remember her, a two year-old baby: cute little thing

    Anyways, according to my mom that baby has been going to kindergarten everyday with a giant green schoolbag on her back that she picked for herself. The bag is usually very heavy, inside there usually are, a water bottle, fruits, snacks, and snacks. I don't think she quite gets it that people actually put things other than food in a school bag, for example, pencils and books. Most kids in the class are 4 or 5 years old, so every morning this baby goes to her class and sits in the very front row and starts her day. The everyday activities for the class includes: numbers, Pinyin, singing, and watching cartoons. But not for this baby. She doesn't seem to care about what everybody else is doing. When other kids are singing, or repeating after the teachers, she only looks around, then hugs the little boy next to her, then hugs someone else close by, then plays with her toys. One day the teacher asked her: "ÀÏʦ˵µÄ»°Ä㶼Ìý¶®ÁËÂð£¿" Baby:"Ìý¶®ÁËѽ~" teacher:"ÄãÌý¶®ÀÏʦ˵ʲôÁË£¿" baby:"ÎÒÍüÁËѽ¡«" teacher: "...." But how could you possibly be mad at a little person cute like this anyway? I guess if you're cute as a button, you can always get away with things. After school one day my mom asked her:"ÉÏѧºÃÍæÂð£¿" she said "ºÃÍæѽ~" Mom:"ÄÇÃ÷ÌìÄ㻹À´Âð£¿" baby:"À´Ñ½~" then she thought for a while and added:"¿ÉÊÇÎÒºóÌì²»À´ÁË¡£" mom:"ºóÌìΪʲô²»À´Ñ§Ð£ÁË£¿" Baby:"ÎÒÌ«ÀÛÁËѽ¡«ÎÒÐÝÏ¢ÐÝÏ¢¡£"  Well... who said watching cartoons at school at day couldn't be stressful for a three-year-old??
