<p>Hehe I don’t think my parents are going to be divorcing anytime soon :P</p>
<p>But it’s okay. I’m over it.</p>
<p>And dude, story:</p>
<p>Today when my dad and I were in the car towards Walmart, we started talking about (what else) college and my plans. He asked what I wanted to major in, etc. I said English or Journalism. He said I was going to fail at life, all that good stuff. I ignored it all.</p>
<p>Then I came on CC, read the “What’s the fate of liberal arts grads?” and started getting depressed because everybody was saying engineering + business = yay! English + history + art therapy (Yeah, roam, it was mentioned :O) = :(. Then I was like…uh oh, maybe I shouldn’t major in English.</p>
<p>Was depressed for the day.</p>
<p>THEN after dinner we got fortune cookies, and guess what my fortune said!</p>
<p>“You are going in the right direction. Trust your instincts.”</p>
<p>And then I was like eeeeee and was all happy again because fate likes me. :D</p>
<p>=) I think you’ll do just fine for yourself. Coincidentally, I just finished watching All The President’s Men. Woodword and Bernstein seem to be doing just fine if you ask me. </p>
<p>I got the same thing from my dad a while ago. First it was the “YOURE NOT DOING LAW!!!” (my dad hates lawyers), then it was the “YOURE NOT DOING LIBERAL ARTSY STUFF” (apparently that makes no money), then on thursday it was the “YOURE NOT DOING ANYTHING THAT DEALS WITH WALLSTREET” (that makes too much money) speech. My dad is just *<strong><em>ed off he never continued with physics and is trying to live vicariously through me. *</em></strong> that though. I’m doing what I want. Jenny, I suggest you do the same.</p>
<p>Edit: The fcc doesn’t even regulate curses on tv or radio anymore yet i still can’t say a synonym for pee. god. I admit the other was a lot more vulgar but still!</p>
<p>Aww tako! That’s sweet! That’s right, Pursue your dreams!</p>
<p>…though really, I’ve had a similar dilemma for the longest time about what to major in. But now I have decided and it just looks SO MUCH BETTER than the other option I didn’t even know why I had the dilemma in the first place. lol :D</p>
<p>And karen, gosh, majoring in physics? That’s hardcore! XD It’s an AWESOME major, but I will no doubt die if I majored in that because believe it or not, physics is my least favorite science course. I want to say it lacks… elegance perhaps?.. that comes with something associated with the complexity of uncertainty and life, like biology or chemistry. XD</p>
<p>haha, I love physics and it’s one of my best subjects, I just don’t want to major in it. I could never spend my life in a classroom or a laboratory. That just isn’t me.</p>
<p>um…i assume so considering they didn’t block out anything on all the presidents men and they were cursing on the radio the other day. Plus my mom said she read an article about that somewhere. so i don’t really know, i’m just making an educated guess.</p>
<p>Hello everyone! I haven’t been on here for a few days (reason below), but from the looks of the slow postage, we aren’t getting to page 500 anytime soon. SO POST MORE! </p>
<p>Jenny, we’ll discuss parents more at TASP. Not that I don’t like my parents, but you’ll appreciate your parents’ involvement a little bit more after you hear my parents’ antics. And yay, camera. I’m shocked by how early your parents have determined your present (and Christmas plans too =O ).</p>
<p>Karen, go somewhere for your birthday and make your parents pay for the flight. It works really well, at least from my experience. A $500 ticket btw, will EASILY fly you to Ann Arbor =P.</p>
<p>(reason for neglecting cc): I got a freaking virus on Friday and started feeling really ill during my French final. My fever finally ended today, but my throat feels like it has been chipped with a chisel. I’m not going to get into details, but you get the point. I hope this ends soon; I don’t want it in the way of TASP, or my last final on Friday. =(</p>
<p>Wow I just read the 2007 Discover Card Tribute Award Scholarship Winners and I…am…wowwed. These kids are AMAZING. How will I get into college? </p>
<p>Depressed.</p>
<p>Heehee but a funny story:</p>
<p>My dad was trying to convince me that journalism is hard for us “people” (meaning asians). He cited a story where his friend’s daughter majoring in journalism and once she got out of college she couldn’t find a job.</p>
<p>Then my dad was like, “yeah…she couldn’t find any employment so she had to resort to…<em>gasp</em> teaching!”</p>
<p>And then I wanted to laugh. But I didn’t, and instead I feigned shock and said - “Teaching? How could she?”</p>
<p>And my dad nodded solemnly and now thinks I won’t major in journalism because it might mean I’ll have to teach. </p>
<p>Okay another funny parents story. Sorry for all this double-triple posting - I really frown upon it, but if we’re going to post 37 pages worth of posting…I think we need it.</p>
<p>My crush <3 came over so we could learn how to skateboard, and so I was leaving the house and told my mom I was going skateboard.</p>
<p>Now remember, my parents are the type of people who are like - eww boys Jenny don’t even go NEAR them.</p>
<p>My mom: A boy???
Me: Yeah.
My mom: Who is he?
Me: A journo kid.
My mom: A senior? (you could tell she was getting quite concerned at this point)
Me: Yeah.
My mom: Where is he going?
Me: Oh…Berkeley.
My mom: OH OKAY THAT’S FINE THEN.</p>
<p>HAHAHA it was funny. Okay I really need to get a life…hmmm…500 pages or life…FIVE HUNDRED PAGES.</p>
<p>that they are. I just sat through a whole car ride where my dad was giving my mom a lecture about honey bees. now that was interesting</p>
<p>Dreamweaver…I’ve used it a few times that but was a while ago. It was probably a few versions older than yours too jenny so I would be no help. </p>
<p>At rita’s we were talking about where my bro should get his mba and apparently my mom wants him to go to Stern (NYU) since they have an entertainment mba (His masters is in film from UCLA). I just had to sit there asking myself why my brother got to do film and i can’t do anything i want. It’s no fair. I say I should at least get a car
(that porshe that my mom pointed out she was in love with) for this kind of punishment.</p>
<p>HAHA (I would edit my other post but this will get the post count up) </p>
<p>My parents are the same way, in fact, I’m the same way to an extent. If a boy is coming over or i’m going to hang out with him his aspirations and college of choice are what they care about. On of my friends came over last weekend to study for finals and teh first thing they asked me was “Where does he want to go to school?” -“Stern daddy. Don’t worry.” -“Oh that’s fine then.” and he smiled and walked away.</p>
<p>Oh I just remembered it was the same with my prom date too. My mom was just excited that i was going but my dad gave me 20 questions about it. Actually it never reached 20 questions since he asked where he stood in the senior class and I was able to answer “val” and later he asked me what school he was attending and I was able to say “princeton”. Of course he was almost in shock, but leave it to my dad to ruin a good moment he dropped his smile and jokingly said “no respectful jersey-an goes to princeton”</p>
<p>Hehe yep. My parents asked all about my junior prom date too. Luckily my date is highly interested in physics, which meets the standard, apparently. He also wants to go to UPenn, so you know It all works out. </p>
<p>Oh man, but a year ago my senior ball date went to <em>gasp</em> Cal Poly San Obisbo! Which is actually a really good and pretty selective school but my parents had never heard of it (neither had I, actually :P) so they were somewhat upset about that.</p>
and was all happy again because fate likes me. :D</p>
It all works out. </p>
