My Whole Brain is Crying

New Earphones, people leaving, need to write my resume

Phiaton PS 20

Great great great earphones, really quirky design which gives it a spacious sound and not a “in your head” sound that most earbuds give. Great bass that doesn’t overpower that focuses on a warm sound in general. 2 things that really wowed me. The sound stage is amazing, which is partially due to the design, and as a person who likes the sound stage offered by headphones, these really take the cake. The midrange is incredible, none of it is sacrificed to the powerful bass that happens way to often with “bass earphones” and the treble is also great without drawing back or being overpowered. I listened to most genres of music and some movies and everything really just came together to create a surround sound experience that never seemed to swerve out of control.

Also, goodbye Cornell people, thanks for the shirt Kevin, see ya during thanksgiving or homecoming (no one better have died by then…)

My resume looks like a 3rd grade wrote it, someone help please…

That awkward moment when you’re not sure if you should start a conversation because you think you’re annoying the other person.

Visiting gravesites

Coming back to China, it’s kind of weird going to the grave sites of people I saw smiling, talking, and cracking jokes 5 years ago, which was the last time I saw them. Despite the mosquitoes, two hour drives, blistering heat, and sometimes pouring rain, I knew I would never miss visiting any of their graves even when I was never close to them. It didn’t feel like an obligation to myself or to anyone. But those few minutes when we’re all together, praying, talking about the person, laying out candles, fruits and playing music, it feels just like the person is right there with us. I’m not very spiritual in any sense, but it’s a great feeling, a fulfilling feeling to be there. I find myself one of the last ones to leave and when I pray to them, I can’t speak Chinese well so I instead just envision all the memories I have of them and say the few Chinese sentences I do know like: “I’ll be a great doctor. I’ll save many people. I’ll take care of my family and friends, because that’s what I love doing. I’ll make you proud.”

I can’t really say much about this because over-analyzing things just takes the feeling away and it’s a feeling that I find rare in my life nowadays. A mix of cherishing, missing, remembering, loving, respecting, yet not being in so deep to feel the pain of it all. I do wish I got to know them better, but hey, I’m fine with this too.

Mom and Dad

Love you and all but…

1. You installed metal fences around our windows to keep “burglars out”

2. Right under that metal fence is a thorn bush…

3. You lock me in the house from the outside in when you leave, so that I can’t go out of my own house from the inside (you think this somehow adds another layer of protection…)

4. ^all of this combined actually means that if a fire starts in my house and my parents aren’t home, I will actually die.

5. You are the worst gossiper in the whole nation

6. Worst temper I’ve seen out of anyone in my whole life

7. Kept me from doing any sports or any extracurricular that did not “aid” in the college process (which you were thinking about since I was born because you didn’t want me to learn an instrument because “stuff like that won’t help since every kid is doing it”. And I only did Scapino, a hunter theater production, in the beginning because you guys urged me on that it would help my resume and set me apart from other kids since my CT teacher said I should definitely try out…fortunately I learned that I liked acting and the whole thing was really fun), and only until senior year did you let me because “I have time to do my silly little games”. The first question you ask me when I asked if I could join the basketball team: “Are you going to be the captain? Are you going to join the NBA? Then No”. Volleyball team: “LOL, you kidding me?”

8. You laugh at my inability to speak Chinese and make fun of me for it in front of people even though you never tried to help me learn it

9. You refuse to MAKE me do chores or anything around the house because you think I’ll mess up and cause more trouble (washing the dishes? Taking out the trash?), you then complain about how no one is helping you do house work…

10. Allows my brother to basically do anything he wants because “he has a 98 GPA” so it doesn’t matter.

11. Uses the same explanation above to explain why she’s willing to let him do any sport or any extracurricular because he’s “inherently smarter than me and therefore can spend more time on things he wants to do” and then brings up the GIANT gap in gpa from his 98 to my 95.

12. But my brother doesn’t do anything and stays home all day playing videogames because my mom wants that more than anything, for him to get 100’s and stay home in her protection and not risk doing stuff outside. Then says how he inherently isn’t an outgoing person and isn’t like me who likes going out and doing stuff.

13. Told me to not drink in college…like actually seriously telling me not to drink in college

14. The college process is everything, once you get into college, it’s smooth sailing. Therefore, we will mold you into the prototypical college product because building character is bullshit. Oh yeah, discouraging you from doing things you’re interested in is a must, because grades are everything and you must be in the safety in your own home.

15. Expect people to naturally learn things at a certain age when there is no actual teaching going on.

16. You think there are no benefits to failures or mistakes, that both are too costly and you should avoid them at all costs.

17. You didn’t let me use a wallet until senior year because I lost stuff that I carried in my pockets, your logic being that if you lose one thing, that’s okay, but if you lose your wallet, that’s losing everything at once. Um, isn’t the point of having a wallet so that its big and doesn’t fall out of your pocket easily, and it organizes everything so that you don’t lose stuff you just shove into your pockets…

18. You don’t let me go bowling because you think bad people hang out at bowling alleys. You don’t let me go ice skating because you think I’ll break my ankles. You don’t want me to ride a bike and never taught me because you thought it was too dangerous…

Can think of so many more things but done ranting. It’s good that you guys have 100x more positive things. And family is family, but please consider taking off that iron fencing on the windows…

Could have gone clubbing for last day of Beijing, instead stuck with mom in hotel doing nothing cause she’s my mom. gg.

I hate it when someone starts to tell you something but they end up saying “never mind”.

So I was coming out of my hotel room in Beijing…

And saw this dude passed out, sprawled across the carpet floor in the hallway. I just stared at him for a minute:

1. Obviously think of worst case scenario first: …this must mean…there’s a MURDERER SOMEWHERE.

2. Nevermind he definitely passed out from drinking too much

3. Oh shit that will definitely be me at Penn…

4. Shit maybe he fainted from a medical condition, I should go get the receptionist

My mom sees me standing in the hallway looking at something and says “What is it’?

Oh just, a body lying on the floor.

Oh, can I see?

Then we look at the guy for another minute, and she just turns and goes back to her room like nothing happened.

I then go get the receptionist and proceed to finishing “Never Let Me Go” in the hotel lobby at 12:30am.

Very good book btw, definitely recommend it, last 30-40 pages was a real page turner.

No point to this story, seeing the Great Wall of China tomorrow Yay.
