    Well today was really boring. I mean I don't know how it went by soo fast when I had absolutely nothing to do today. Usually its if you have nothing to do time goes by soo slow. Oh well. Right now its 2:26 a.m and I am not at all sleepy or tired. So tomorrow also looks quite boring. I got a little homework, nothing too serious.
    Well speaking of school I just started my second semester in college (freshman year that is). First semester was okay I guess. I got all A's and one B. So my parents were pretty happy. I just hope that second semester runs through the same rhythm.
    But so far I'm not so sure what I want to do...for the longest time it was between photojournalism and just plain journalism, but of course my parents hated the idea. I mean when I told them that I wouldn't mind traveling in war-stricken countries like Iraq they went ballistic. I was just kidding..:rolleyes:..well kind of. They think totally differently.. they first wanted me to become a doctor..But after much discussions they realized that that's not what I want to become. So now they're settled with me becoming a lawyer. I don't really have a problem with that except that I'm just not that sure. I just think that my parents want me to have a good career that has many benefits. But its really annoying to have listen to them always say "If i was your age and living in America, I would have taken all the opportunities that came my way.".......then they continue especially my dad..."That's the problem we had raising you and your siblings in America, you guys are not appreciative of all the things that you have"...
    So in a way I guess that I've become a schoolaholic b/c of my parents, especially my father. I feel that I have to satisfy him. I hate disappointing him. I mean I am appreciative of what I do have. I understand that it was tough for my parents growing up in a third world country.. So in a way my father indirectly is trying to give my siblings and I a better chance in education, jobs, careers, and life in general. But I just wish that I could just find something that will make both of my parents happy and well me too. Right now I'm just a college student..that's all.
