It's Late Again

It's late at night again. It's like 10:30...heh heh ^ ^;; *awkward*. LOL xD okay so not that late. But I need meh sleep. So this post will be quick (thus there might be some grammar errors :P).

Teachers have been giving stupids tests like every other day. It's bugging the crap out of me. So. Much. Studying. OTL. I'm going to die at this rate xP. My grades have been getting terrible lately too!! It's like no matter how much I study, I fail. You know how much that sucks?! And it's not that I don't study enough. Rin-chan forces me to study like every night (which is killing me as well!). I usually just wing it and get good enough grades xD. Studying with Rin-chan doesn't help though! It seems like the topic is either too hard for me to wing or studying just doesn't help me. I vote second idea :3 (haha if only xD). I formed a new way of studying though. Instead of Rin-chan asking the questions I do. Which helps much more than you would think. My brain is weird, so I learn better if I hear the answers instead of saying/thinking up the answers myself. I hope I do better on tests soon because if I don't start improving I will die of bad-test-sickness.

Kohai-chan is funny. She can't pronounce my name and/or doesn't remember how to pronounce it. The way she says my name is the equivalent to pronouncing Emiko (em-ee-ko) as Emuka (em-oo-ca). It's rather amusing. I would usually correct a person who can't pronounce my name, but it's not a big deal to me xD. Plus, I have a feeling she doesn't really care~. All the children, Boss-lady, and Kohai-chan can't pronounce my name correctly. It's cute when the children mispronounce it, but hilarious when adults can't xD.

I'm Chinese, and can't speak the language fluently. Lots of people make fun of me for it. You always hear them say, "You can't speak Chinese?!" or "Haha you suck." or "You're not a true Chinese!" ...yea >_> not very pleasant. So you would think with all these insults I would learn Chinese right? Well wrong xD. But I know a few words :3. Not enough to have a conversation, but it's not like I don't know anything at all. All the children at my work place is Chinese except for like three of them. The Chinese people can all speak Chinese, so two kids tried to teach me some of the language. ...except don't trust kids to teach you Chinese! These children are only in like elementary, so they were teaching me how to say "poopoo head" and "poop is on your head, now you die." and other stuff that I can't really remember at the moment. I relearned a bunch of stuff too. Like they were calling me stupid and crazy in Chinese, and I was able to understand xD because those are part of my very small vocabulary.   ....sigh *head desk* this is very sad and depressing. I'm so fail xD

*yawn* okay~ meh has to go to bed now ^ ^ so good night people <3

ps. yesh this is what I call a "quick post". and yesh I'm able to write this much in 20 minutes xD

Another Day at Work

It was another successful day at work again :)
....gosh I feel kind of old now that I use that word >_> I don't know why. It's just that this sudden thinking of "Oh my gosh only old people say that." hit meh. ..Yesh, I'm saying that 20+ people are old x3. LOL xD I'm afraid that Nyu-san is rubbing off on me. She's the type to think that she's old because she's getting older with every second of her life xD. Hmm...but I guess teenagers work too, so maybe I'm not that old just yet x3.
Anyways, I'm in the mood to talk about the pros and cons of my job today~. I think I shall. Okay, so like everything else we do in life, let's start with the pros/positives :D! ...wait, what's that o.O? You don't always start with the positives of a subject?! Well you should. Anyways, moving on!

Pros

-Since I grade homework of all kinds, my English and math skills have improved. Even though it's elementary school homework, it still helps :3. How? Well for English, it helps me review basic grammar and review meanings of words and what not. For math, it helps me increase my speed of solving simple problems.
-I'm surrounded by kids who loves meh <3  (which...might actually be a creepy thing xD)
-I get money $$$ oh ho ho ho~!
-The experience I gain is good ^ ^

Cons

-I have to walk there by myself sometimes TT^TT so scary~. I wish I had a friend to walk with :3 but sigh~ no one goes in the same direction.
-It's far (lol not really xD only like 6 blocks)
-It takes up my pressure free time D':
-the kids are too clingy > <

Yuupp that's all I can think of for now xD.
It's kind of weird. These kids are like in elementary school having a face book, email, cell phone, cash, and everything. But when I was their age all I got was...wait I didn't get shit! (excuse my french). So yea, kids these days are lucky xD.
Back to the clingy thing though. I swear these kids are weird ^ ^;;. They all ask for my contact information...it's creepy, but they're just elementary kids, so it's not like they're stalking me. . . I hope xD. Anyways, there's this little girl who's like fallen in love with me, and asked for my phone number. I gave it to her (she was so cute. it's hard to say no..plus I'm a push over, remember? xD) She called me twice. The conversations were interestingly odd... xD;;. (I'ma name her Aya. and her brother will be Yasu). thoughts are in italics btw :3

~First convo~
me: Hello?
Aya: Hi Emiko!
me: who's this?
Aya: Wah~?! How do you not know who it is?
me: i..i don't know.
Aya: It's me Aya!
me: oh...hi ^ ^;;
Aya: you gave me your phone number!
me: yea..i did no shit sherlock or else you wouldn't be calling me right now xD

i was eating dinner so that was the end xD. Aya is ...kinda weird for a 4th grader ^ ^;;

~Second convo~

the phone rings and I look at the caller ID.
me: Oh it's Aya. *answers the phone* Hi Aya!
Aya: oh my gosh! How'd you know it was me?!
me: i'm psychic :)
Aya: huh?!
me: I can tell the future :D
Aya: really?! That's so cool!
me: yuup.
Aya: I'm going to give the phone to my brother now.
me: okay...
Yasu: wei wei? (chinese way of saying "hello" over the phone :3)
me: hello~
Yasu: wei!? wei!?
me: hello!
Yasu: talk louder.
me: HELLO!
Yasu: Too loud!
me: ^ ^;; uhh..
Yasu: How many family members do you have?
me: weird question I have seven..
Yasu: Really!? That's a big number! I have 13.
me: that's um..a bigger number xD Cool!
Yasu: i have my six sisters and my seven brothers. plus my dad and 3 grandmas and 3 grandpas. also me and Aya and my other sister.
me: That's nice :) ...um..that's more than 13 ^ ^;;
Yasu: Aya is in the shower.
me: that's nice...i didn't need to know that >_>
Yasu: wei?
me: i'm still here..
Aya: Emiko?
me: hi ^ ^;;
Aya: can you come over to my house?

and yea after that she tries to convince me to go to her house...which was weird xD. The conversation I had with them was odd to say in the least. Rin-chan cracked up when she heard about it. >_> I wonder how many calls I'll get that are like this. I think about 3 fourth graders asked for my contact information...and they're most likely to share it. One little boy wrote my phone number on his eraser and another memorized it in a day. Sigh~ life seem like it'll get interesting soon xD ...the sad part is that I'm getting phone calls from elementary schoolers instead of, I don't know, something more favorable(?) like cute boys LOL xD jk.
