Subject: my plant!
Date: Sat, 28 Jul 2007 15:01:44 +0000
dear mom and dad,

someone is overwatering my plant, im sure of it! everyday i get to work and the soil is moist. maybe the staff is watering it in the mornings? which is piss poor timing, dammit! all those other poor plants that died; finally i get myself a "take care of oneself" plant, NOW they want to water it? i'll have to get to the bottom of this. my plant will NOT die. im on the j-o.

otherwise, work is going well. these "summer intensive" classes are going ok. they're 3 times a week, so coming in to do class 9am to noon, and then again from 4pm-10pm is proving to be rather draining. thank goodness one week is over already, im tired! well, it does make the weekends off much much more appreciated. i have having a lot of fun with the morning class, the kids are really smart and fun, but still i really wont mind when class is over.

things are going fine at work otherwise. i have one elementary student, his name is greg, and he speaks just about fluent english. it's his first time at cdi, and he spent a year or more in the filipines i think, so he speaks with a pinoy accent, it's the cutest thing ever. he makes me think of my cousin... or whoever that little girl is, when we went to visit Lolo Manny in LA? and that little girl asked her mom why, even tho she was born and is being raised in the states, why she still has a filipino accent? how many relatives did i meet that day? 50? and that was just the garcias, huh?

i got the essence magazines last week, thanks so much. i havent had nearly the time i did before to read now with these morning classes, but i'll get back to it. dad, sorry that at&t has been so sucky, are you switching back to cox? i think i told you that i cut my internet back home for a while, b/c cox pissed me off so much? talk about crappy customer service. they have us by the jugular! the internet is a drug! ... of which i myself am a pathetic addict. maybe this is secretly why i havent made efforts to get a home computer.

hey im thinking kanisha may have my jill scott cd, so no sweat if you cant find it. or actually, i think i dont have it on cd, i think it's in my hardrive on the computer at home. i'll get nisha to burn it, and maybe she or teddy can drop it off to you on the next visit. they're still recycling, arent they?

dad, i really thought Medium was one of the shows you watched. well, b/c it was so crappy, i figured it just HAD to be one of YOUR shows. oh, ok, you know what, i was thinking of "The Ghost Whisperer" maybe. which, incidentally, ive seen reruns of here in korea too, and hey whaddyaknow, it's a crappy show! ~daughter.
