Late Night Blogging/Recap of My Week

   This week has been so ughhh. I've been sick all week so literally all I've done after class is come home and sleep. I feel fine during the day, but once I get home, I feel like crap and I just lay on the couch and sleep for the rest of the day until someone wakes me up to tell me to go to bed. I've done almost no homework or studying this whole week. I had to write my whole essay today and I hope it sounds okay, but it's hard to write a descriptive essay about online shopping without turning it into a research paper. I'm sitting in bed right now writing this blog post after I finished icing my wrists. I'm so bored and don't feel like sleeping but it's frickin almost 4 am. BUT ANYWAYS
   There was this one day this week (I can't remember which day it was) where I drank about 8 or 9 bottles of water and it made me so uncomfortable. With all the sleeping, I haven't had time to eat properly so I lost about 4 pounds, which is a problem because I have to stay over my minimum or my training sergeant will say something about it. All the people training with me are worried about staying under their maximum requirements and I'm here like "TEACH ME HOW TO GAIN WEIGHT." My minimum requirement is either 100 or 104 pounds, I'm not sure which one because I'm between 61 and 62 inches tall. When I went to MEPS in April, I had to eat more the night before to gain weight. Even then, I was only 98 pounds, but they didn't say anything. Now, 5 months later, I just barely hit 105, but being sick brought me back down so now I'm mad :( I don't even want to gain weight though. Being over 100 pounds bothers me for some reason. Like...just seeing that number mentally pains me and I just- no.
   But yeah so anyways...I don't actually remember what I did this week. I know that on Thursday I came home after my first class and sat in the dining room drinking a bowl of soup before leaving for my next class. That was fun, I guess.
   Okay I'm starting to get really boring and losing inspiration AND motivation so I'll just go to bed now-

Border Control

   Because I don't have anything to write about my day/week, I'll just write about an experience I had a few years ago.
   During the summer, my mom, my sister, and I were planning on visiting my grandparents in Canada. We were heading up there in a van with my mom's friend and his daughter. On our way to Canada and coming back into the United States, we were stopped by Border Control. Apparently our whole situation was weird.
   First of all, it was a group of Chinese people trying to get across the border. I guess that itself could be suspicious because really, Chinese people are shady af. Beware of Chinese people, I'm not kidding.
   Second, when my mom and her friend told the people that they weren't married, they found it odd that we were traveling together. To make things worse, the van we were in didn't belong to my mom's friend, it belonged to his friend.
   Lastly, my mom's friend's daughter and I have the same name, Cindy Li. I knew it was a common name, but really how much more suspicious can we get. I really think he copied my mom because I was born first but whatever-
   So this happened twice and I really don't know what we expected, trying to cross the border in this situation. In hindsight, it wasn't a very good idea but hey, we made it across. It was interesting and I guess you could say it was fun?

P.S. on our way back we may or may not have picked up some random Chinese people we didn't know just standing around at the border so....

Because I Can't Have One Normal Day

   I didn't have any classes today, but my sister did and my parents had to go to work, so I was left home alone. I woke up around 10 and brought my sister's lunch to her at school. When I came home, I made breakfast for myself and sat down to play games on my laptop. While I was playing, I noticed that my laptop was unusually slow and the speakers were making weird cracking noises. I told me dad and decided to take it to Office Depot tomorrow.
   When I finished eating, my dad told me to head over to the restaurant because he needed to pick his car up from the shop. He also told me to bring the warranty card for my laptop and a phone he was selling. I put my laptop in my bag and pulled a few books out of it so it wouldn't be so happy. Then, I went to look for the warranty card. I knew that when I registered my laptop, I put the card in a safe place so I wouldn't lose it. Problem was that I forgot the safe place. I then went to grab the phone my dad was selling out of the bag it was in, but it was gone. I remember it being packed in its box, sitting inside the bag next to our computer. I looked in the bag multiple times before calling my dad.
   My dad had me running around the house for about 5 minutes looking for the phone before telling me to leave it and that he'll look for it when he gets home. I then told him that I forgot the safe place where I put my warranty card. I thought he would be angry with me because he specifically told me not to lose it. On the contrary, he wasn't angry and actually knew where it was. He said, "Did you check the safe?"
   The safe. The safe. Of course it would be there. Of course my safe place would be the freaking safe.
   So after I grabbed it out of the safe, I went to put it in my bag. Halfway there, I stopped walking and stared at my bag. There was a box sticking out of it. I bent down and grabbed it. It was the phone, the phone I just spent 5 minutes looking for. I know I didn't put it in there though. I don't recall sticking my hand in the bag that the phone was in and finding it there. I don't recall feeling the box in hands. Heck I didn't even know what the box looked like until I saw it sitting on my bag. It was sitting there so unnaturally. So...uncindy-ish. (That's how unnatural it was.)
   I couldn't get over it and kept thinking about it the whole drive to work. It just kept bothering me. My dad said I'm losing my mind, but I swear I'm not.
   Later on, while I was at our restaurant, I tried to hear those cracking noises from my laptop's speakers again to show my dad. When I heard it at home, it was every time my laptop made a sound, whether it be the music I played, the music from my game, or just the usual computer sounds. When I tried to hear it again, it didn't make those noises. The noises were gone and my laptop was back to normal speed. I don't know what the problem was. It only happened while I was at home, alone.
   And now, as I'm typing this, my laptop's fan is making an unusual amount of noise. Send help ㅠ~ㅠ

It's Only Tuesday...

   I originally planned to write on Sunday, but my day didn't turn out the way I planned. I woke up that morning and went to training. We have PT in the morning on Sundays and it was fine. I wasn't as tired as I was last time because I couldn't do the push ups, mountain climbers, burpees, and all those other exercises where I need to use my hands and wrists. I ended up doing maybe 100-200 jumping jacks. I checked out that morning, which was a bad idea, so I showered in this other girl's room. We planned to head across the street to McDonald's for lunch, but another trainee talked us out of it and we ended up heading back to the base and eating at the Landing. There were sooo many people and it made me nervous. After lunch, we didn't do much. That afternoon, I was planning on heading home after I ate, but I checked my phone and it was about to die. I slept in my car for about 2 hours while I waited for my phone to charge. When I left, it was 6:30. It's a four hour drive to get home so I was tired and just went to bed.
   I was sore when I woke up Monday morning, and I really didn't want to go to class. I pulled myself out of bed and realized that if I just keep walking, the soreness doesn't feel as bad. After my classes, I originally planned to go to the grocery store to buy ingredients for the cupcakes I was going to make for International Club's bake sale. I didn't realize that my parents would make me stay at work until about 8:00. I had to hurry to buy everything and make the cupcakes. I finished around 11 and the mess was huge. The cupcakes were delicious by the way :)
   Now it's Tuesday and I just want it to be the weekend already. I have dance class tonight and I'm not looking forward to moving my sore muscles.

Training: Day 1

   So I’m writing this at 11 am, but I won’t be able to post it until later. We finished with the first part of our day and we’re having our lunch break right now. I always just go to the gas station and buy a snack. I’m eating it in my car because I have to work on some homework. We’re having PT later on and I don’t want to eat too much. We may not be able to run because it looks like there’s going to be a thunderstorm.

   I had some apple sauce this morning and my stomach has been feeling crappy all day. I think it was probably too cold. My mom and I both don’t have good stomachs so there’s a lot we can’t eat. I really shouldn’t wat a lot of cold food, but I can’t just sit here and eat a bowl of soup or anything. Maybe tomorrow I’ll get like a Hot Pocket.

  I don’t know much about birds or animals in general, but when HUGE flocks start flying away, is it alright to assume it’s going to thunder? Because when I say huge, I mean HUGE.

   I finished training for today! We did some team building exercises while it rained, but the rain stopped so we ended up going outside for our run after the exercises. I cut 2 minutes off my run time! I'm not sure if it's because I got better or because I was feeling sick last time. Now I'm back in my hotel room, sitting by the window sill, eating Chinese food and watching TV.

   The rest of my day will probably be spent doing homework and stretching to make sure I won't be sore for tomorrow.

I'm in Delawareeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

   ...again. I just drove four hours to gt here for my training weekend. I'm not looking forward to going, but if I didn't, I won't get paid :( This hotel is way better than the one we stayed in last time. I don't know if I'll have a roommate, but there's two beds in this room. I'm nervous about tomorrow because this is only my second training weekend, and I have to do it in splints. The sergeant said that he'll make something up for me so I'm worried it'll be something like running the whole time.

   My mom used to worry about me driving long distances because she's afraid I'll fall asleep while I'm driving. I don't fall asleep because I have my own ways of staying away. I sing along to my music and talk to myself the whole four hours so it's almost impossible for me to fall asleep. I do get bored though, very very very bored. When you're driving down one road for ninety miles, you start to question the meaning of life. Now that I'm here, I don't know what to do. I'm eating my dinner and trying to figure out which of my homework assignments I should start on, but I really don't want to work on any of them.

I'm Behind on Posts...

   I think I only wrote one post last week. I meant to write more but I couldn't think of anything to write and, before I knew it, the week already went by. I'll probably have more to write about this weekend because I'm going back up to Delaware again.
   Today's Labor Day so my dad decided that we should close the restaurant early. By 4:40, we had everything cleaned up and my sister and I were getting in the car ready to go. Then my mom called and told my dad that we should stay open longer so we had to go back inside and bring everything back out again. Needless to say, I was annoyed. But hey, I'm home now so :)
   I had to go to Patient First to get my wrists checked out because they've been hurting recently. I had to wait for an hour before getting an X-ray done. While I was waiting, I really really had to use the bathroom so my dad told me to go quickly. When I walked over to the bathroom door, I wasn't sure if it was just one bathroom or stalls so I opened the door without thinking. I saw legs and things on the floor so I said sorry and tried to close the door but the lady inside stopped me. When I opened the door more, I noticed that there was a wheelchair in the bathroom and the lady was on the floor. I freaked outttttttt. She said that her nurse was supposed to be helping her but didn't come back. I told her I would go get a nurse and walked out the bathroom. There was another lady standing at the door of one of the rooms across from the bathroom. She was either a patient or came with someone else. She asked me if the lady in there fell and I told her she did. She said "Yeah I heard it but I wasn't sure." I was soooooooooooooooooooo mad. She knew that they lady was in a wheelchair, yet when she heard her fall, she didn't bother to check. What kind of person would do that??
   I ended up not using the bathroom because my doctor came. He checked my wrist and told me that they're a bit swollen and probably caused by making subs at work. I don't really think it's from making subs because I've been doing it for almost two years now and it's only now starting to hurt. Now I have to wear wrist splints on both arms while I work and have to take anti-inflammatory medicine.
   And that's how my Labor Day went. :)

Post #1

   Wow I'm so behind on posts this week. This week is actually going by really fast so I didn't have anything to write about until today.

   So because our class was cancelled this morning, I decided to sleep in. I almost overslept and ended up rushing to get to my 11:00 class. I was running back and forth getting my things together, and when I finally arrived on campus, it was already 10:55. When I got to class, I found out it was cancelled. I was so mad at myself for not checking my email. During the JumpStart program, the peer mentors reminded us to always check our email. Now I know why. I didn't have any other classes today so I really didn't need to come but jgioreniogrenkvoldekvcx.

   I went straight to work after that. I was wearing shorts and a sleeveless shirt so my dad told me to change into a uniform shirt and put on an apron. Problem was that wearing the apron makes me look like I'm not wearing any pants from the front. I really didn't want to wear it but I had to. At least it kept my white shorts clean. 

   This might be weird but I think I developed a girl crush over the weekend :O 

She's just so pretty-
