Spring Break 2014

Hello bloggers! Springtime has finally arrived, and I am...I am...I am sick. Nice story, isn't it? I had some fun in the beginning, though. On the first day of spring break, I got two new pairs of sunglasses. Yay! I love sunglasses; they make me look cool and more importantly, they conceal dark circles. On Sunday, my friends and I watched a Japanese Anime called "Pom Poko" at the Portland Art Museum. I never knew animations could carry messages such as protecting little animals and our environment until I watched this film. In general, Japanese animations always convey important meanings. I remember watching "Spirited Away" a long time ago and was touched by Sen's courage, honesty, and innocence. There was also a sculpture in the Portland Art Museum that left me thinking a long time. The sculpture captures a young, African boy who is diagnosed with albinism. It is appalling to read the caption that introduces the sculpture. Patients such as the boy are treated as "ghosts" by their society; instead of being cared, they are discriminated and are excluded from the rest of the society. Monday was officially the "sick day." I couldn't do anything except for homework (hahahaha). Every day that followed was pretty much the same except that I'm done with all of my homework now! :D Yesterday was perhaps the worst. As we all know, spring is also known as the SAT season. Because of my rather pathetic score, my mother is currently going through a tantrum. But this is not the end of the world, because I'll learn from my mistakes and hope the Fluke God will somehow stick with me the next time I take the test. 

May the luck be ever be in my favor.
