Sadly, the semester is going to end. I feel like I was not progressive this semester in anything (work, HSO, school). I just feel so down in the dumps this semester. I think the best thing that happened so far this year was my (non-alcoholic) 21st birthday and my Spring break trip to Cali to see the family.
btw, in two more months then it'll be a year for Xue and I! that's so crazy! XD

ENDINGS
In Hmong, many words begin the same way
But last letter determines everything
Screw up the last letter and
Fish turns into salt
Horse into human
Sour into penis
You may like the word nyiam
But if you substitute j for m, your word transforms into money
Tack on a g for nyiag
and suddenly the money is stolen
A girl may start out as ntxhais
But neglect the s
and she becomes nothing more than the water left over from cooking rice
