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

Valentine weekend.
It has been a year since Xue and I first met each other in person. I can't believe that it has been a year since then. It has been a bumpy road for us but we're still making it through. I can't wait for him to see the gifts I made for him. I hope he adores it!

Seriously?
So the question about Xue and me getting serious has been asked.
I mean we are in a committed relationship to one another but I'm not ready for the next step. I like meeting his family and I like it when he comes over to meet some of my relatives(everyone lives in CA while I'm in MN) but I don't think I'm ready to think about marriage and who's gonna convert. If you're wondering why this came up, well he's in a family that is still practicing the traditional Hmong Culture whereas I am a Christian. I don’t want to feel that I have to convert because being a Hmong daughter-in-law I would have to regardless if I wanted to. I have to do that to “save face” of my parents and relatives (whether they are distant or not).
Regardless of that level or seriousness, I think that I’m more worried about making sure our long-distance relationship can last. I mean we see each other about once every other month or two months. That is a pretty long time but that gives us time to live our own life without feeling that you have to commit 24/7. I probably brought this up because sometimes, I just don’t feel like I’m being a “good” girlfriend to Xue because I barely have time for him during the day. The only time I really speak to him is before bed and we try to text throughout the day. I hate it, and I mean it with a passion, when he texts me and I’m so busy, either at work, school, or with HSO. I’m like, “Hello, get busy with something else because I am!!” I don’t know but that’s just how I feel.
So I think that about answers the question right?
