so i'm watching sesame street today with the twins and this little african american puppet comes up and starts singing about how she loves her hair, how it looks good in cornrows or in an afro... how she likes to swing it around and let it sway. it caught me off guard... i never in my wildest dreams, thought i'd hear a song on sesame street with the words afro and cornrows in it. oh how the times have changed.
yes, i realize that was incredibly random and that i kind of blew your mind there for a second. allow me to bring you back to speed. today was fun times with the girls, lots of homework, and cooking delicious food for my delicious husband... umm... i mean... ;-D
so i'm doing a lot of work for my history class. i'm getting really into all the stuff i'm reading about. i just read about william penn, ben franklin, john woolman, and about the virginia laws/acts during the years 1660-1682. while i don't enjoy reading my history book, unfinished nation, i do enjoy the essay questions where i get to state my educated opinion regarding the question. the question i was asked was "if you were to visit colonial america, would you conclude that people were there to make money or to practice religious freedom?" if you want to read what i had to say, i posted it here. its nothing spectacular, i just thought it'd be neat to give you an idea of what i'm reading and what i'm learning. i'm enjoying being back in school, for the most part. i kind of feel that its reviving my rusty brain and perhaps, one day i won't feel like an ignoramus. hopefully. oh and real quick, i've gotten all a's in english - everything i've turned in has been a 90 or higher. that is very exciting for me.
tomorrow, i think i'm going to go to the doctor. my parents keep calling to see if i've gone and really, other than the fact that i don't want to spend the money, i don't have a very good reason for not going. my sinuses are full of junk, my lungs are struggling more than necessary, and head/ears keep hurting on and off. the thing is, sometimes i feel like its going away, like right now. but then a few hours later, i will start feeling like crap again. so i guess i should just bite the bullet and get to the doctor, get an antibiotic, and get better. besides, i want to go visit my new nephew this week and i am NOT going to bring over some nasty cold or whatever and possibly infect him. he's too little for that kind of nonsense.
becky's dad got a gigantic tv. i can't wait to play mario and bowling on it... this needs to happen soon. i love becky... <3 and no, not because her dad has a tv that is taller than i do. i love her because she's funny, a good friend, and a beautiful person inside and out. huzzah!
the picture of the day comes from my friend liz's facebook. i saw this picture and it made me miss hong kong... again. i swear, not a day goes by where i'm not thinking and longing to be back in hong kong. i miss it. *sigh*

this is sheung shui, new territories, hong kong. this is the first place we went/lived when we first got off the plane, the first time we went to hong kong. i miss it. oh nostalgia, you are a heartless wretch.
that is all for today. it is late and i must get to bed. 我愛你. byebye.
Congratulations on the "A's"!!
