A birthday is a day to be happy, to celebrate with friends and family.
It's been a hectic week for me actually.
I started by bombing my organic chemistry mid term, not too great considering I bombed the first one. I ain't doing too hot on them lab reports either.
In fact, this stupid ass course has got me so buckled down, that I had to take an extension to hand in the lab report... I stayed up til 3 Am finishing it up on my Birthday... yeah I know... happy bday...My mom has not shown much sympathy towards my terrible grades but my family has been supportive of me still. Just the day of my lab, I came home, tired, depressed... and I came to the kitchen to a surprise...
My family waited for me to get home late... and they made Hot Pot, they got the sauce they got the mix, they got the cilantro, they got the lamb, shrimp, tofu, shrooms, spinach, the whole set there.Probably the best meal I've had in the longest time. My family just put aside everything, put aside my troubles with school and we had a nice family dinner. They even waited an extra hour because I was late getting home.
Well I have to say, that cheered me up quite a bit, and later in the evening I got a happy birthday call from my Grandma in China, she was really reassuring telling me that no matter how terrible I've done up to this point, as long as I did my best, put in the earnest effort that was expected of me, that nothing really matters. Haha funny thing is I am always questioning whether or not I have been doing my best...
Well anyways, I finally catch a break and I write this saying, it's been a rough trip this month but hey, I'm a year older, that just means new goals, and new expectations.
I'd like to thank my wonderful family, cuz afterall it is a wonderful world.
Good luck and God bless
Teddy
