Not much I can talk about my family. There's me, my, mom, and my dad. Only child. Eh, it has its pros and cons. Pros: I don't have to share anything, I don't need to compete with my sibling, I don't have to take care of them, I don't have to argue with them. Cons: I'm sometimes lonely, I feel awkward by myself, I can't relate to having siblings, no one to share secrets to. Basically I'm either very lonely or very happy. There's no in between. I'm very close to my mom's family than to my dad's because we don't live near them (Taiwan). My mom has one older sister, one younger sister, and a younger brother. Because I go to my grandma's house after school (its like a 3 minutes walk), I always have to see my uncle (mom's younger brother) come home from work. He's like almost 40 with no wife, no children, no house and lives with my grandparents. It kind of frustrates me when he doesn't try to get a life. Everyday he comes home from work expecting there's food on the table that my grandma cooks. He expects the driveway to be empty when he comes home. He tells my grandma/grandpa to buy something for him WHICH HE CAN GET IT BY HIMSELF. When the food hasn't been cooked yet, he goes to take a nap and my grandma/pa will go wake him up when the foods ready. When I see my classmate's aunts and uncles having a baby or inviting everyone to a baby shower, I think of my uncle. Like go find yourself a girlfriend before you get too old. I've always wanted to hold a baby in my arms but that chance is never going to come until its my own baby. sigh... My mom's friend tried introducing this doctor to my uncle but he rejected saying she was too good for him. What he actually means: I am not brave enough to spend money on a girl who may eventually take all my money. Like its not like a girl steals your money everyday!! Hes super scared to do anything from taking a girl to dinner to traveling by himself. Everyday of his life: wake up, go to work, come home (occasionally go to buy something when he really needs to), eat, sleep. I would NOT like to live like that. I can't believe my grandma/pa allows him to live like that. But I think they got used to it... -Jen

So... I didn't really keep my promise of being more active.
I'm really bad at continuing things, which explains why I don't have a hobby. I've tried... stuff. One I can remember is video editing, but only because it went so badly. I might try it again, but... I don't have high hopes for it. :P I like writing, and I am working on a story, but who knows how it'll turn out. This time, I'm not making any promises about working on this website. Once I get into high school, I'll have even less time to do stuff I actually want to do. I'm dreading high school. I can't let loose and slack off like I could in elementary and middle school (I'm not saying you should, just that I'm going to miss that). So I better let all of this out before I still have my freedom. Anyway, I'm just going to use this post to talk about me. Like I said earlier, I like writing. I also like reading, eating, watching TV, running (to some extent), music, dogs/cats. I don't like work, or boredom. Which is a problem because my life is extremely dull. I tend to procrastinate, which I need to get over before I start high school. Again, I need to say that I am dreading high school. I can't see how you can possibly have any fun. I can't take all work, work, work for 4 whole years. The only reason I've been able to deal with the madness of middle school was of my ability to relax. I always make not-so-smart choices, and suddenly my choices are almost a matter of life and death. I'm super childish and not mature enough like some people I know. The lectures we're getting in class aren't helping, either. Maybe I'll grow up in time, but I seriously doubt it. While everyone's off taking extra classes, participating in sports, and generally preparing for the future, I've done nothing. I always hear about people who impacted the world in some huge way and changed everything for the better. I cannot see myself doing that in any lifetime. On a slightly separate note, science has been a nightmare. I officially hate ionic bonds. And I am never touching a pink marker in that class. Since I don't really have anything to say for now, I guess my rant is over. Sorry in advance about any typos or sentences that seem random. I type as I think :) Stay on the watch for more updates, but seriously, don't expect much. :P :) ~♫ Grades. Grades. Grades. The beginning of middle school was torture. Now I'm in 8th grade. Guess what, high school is next. My English teacher was talking about the future we have, are the courses that we take in 9th grade. Scary huh. My whole entire life is depended on what academics I choose and I'm usually a person that ALWAYS makes the wrong decision. Elective courses I'm planning to take is Chinese 3 and Beginning Engineering Workshop (I think that's what its called). I got into Chinese 3 because I speak Chinese fluently its just I can't read or write in Chinese. I want to take the engineering workshop because I like to create and build new things. I hope in the future I can make an impact on the world. Little steps lead to big ideas. Woah inspirational there, ok I'll stop. Anyways, I don't ever think I'm ready for the big world. I'm still childish and laugh at stupid jokes. Time gets tough when reality hits me and gives me an overview of the students around me. My classmates have already prepared and done extra homework/activities/sports/all types of stuff they can put in there college portfolio and I'm still here sleeping until 12pm in the afternoon on weekends and playing games on the computer. I don't get how some people can actually have fun in high school. Don't you know that every grade counts onto your future?? Well I guess some people don't care about their grades, but I'm not that person. Although I don't get straight A's I don't give up. In the end I still might not get an A but at least I tried? Update later -Jen
