Hahahahaha what kind of question is that?? No.
What...? Yeah no
I mean, crazy stuff happens, but I think we will maintain our standards politically about voting rights.
Computers can be programmed to vote or imitate voting, but why would they "argue" for the right to vote?
Oh, interesting point. I mean, we use computers to cast ballots in a lot of places. But they themselves actually have an opinion and then make the decision because of it? Idk I could also be super behind on AI stuff. It all creeps me out. Anyway, how are you? Taking classes this spring semester?
High school senior...so kind of. Mostly IB testing right now. Meh. Are you?
Oh that's awesome! Are you stoked to graduate??? Where are you from? :) I am taking Spring classes. I am a junior so I am just trying to cram those credits in and get done My husband will be applying to med school this summer so I need to graduate the same as him haha!
YES! I am so ready to graduate. I'm from NY so graduation isn't until mid June. Good luck to your husband for medical school and you to graduate! How many more credits do you need?
That's really late to graduate! You'll be out here before you know it! And thank you, we need all the good wishes possible haha. I'm so stressed. I just need 2 more semesters after I finish Spring and one online class this summer. It's soooo cloooooose. What classes are you signed up for for your first semester? :)
My registration day isn't until June, but I'm hoping to get into Mandarin, writing 150, religion 275 (BoM), bio 130, and maybe racquetball/martial arts
Ohhhh yeah, Freshmen sign up later. Mandarin....that's so cool, do you speak it? Or you just want to learn it for kicks and giggles? Martial arts and racquetball sounds AWESOME.
Mrgh I wish I had some experience in Mandaing but I don't. My main motive is family history reasons, the other motive is b/c the only options my high school offers is French And Spanish I'm excited for the STAC classes
The STAC classes are definitely something to take advantage of! Plus it's so easy to get lazy as you start being busy with classes...it's a good way to stay motivated to be healthy Is some of your heritage Chinese? (forgive my ignorance, you just say for Family History reasons :)) My brother served in Hong Kong and speaks Mandarin and Cantonese and it's sounds so cool. I love other cultures. I think we have so much to learn from our ancestors. I took a genealogy class here (for religion credit) that was super helpful!!
Haha that's ok. Yep we're Chinese/Thai (which is still basically all Chinese) we're kind of at a road block for name's b/c of the language barrier and none of my immediate Family seaks the language We're Cantonese based but if I can learn Mandarin then I'll still be pretty set I love doing family history, it's just frustrating when there's all these related records that could hold family names and you can't read a lick of them
Yeah, road blocks are SOO hard. I can't even imagine with characters the hard spin that would put on it. But I have a HUGE testimony of ancestors on the other side helping with the work. I really saw that in Mexico with the people I taught.
Right? I've really seen how doing family history and going to the temple have blessed me and my family. You went to Mexico...on a mission?
Preach! Hahaha :) Yeah, I served in Mexico :) It's been awhile haha
That's awesome! There's a temple there...right? Or more than one? Can you still speak the language pretty well?
Yeah, I speak Spanish really well :) You kinda learn it whether you want to or not because you're so immersed :) Fun fact, the Mayan people live there so I learned some Maya:) There's like 12-15 temples there (I can't remember exactly) There is the super famous one you've definitely seen in Mexico City. I served in Cancun, so the nearest temple was 6ish hours away in Merida. I never got to go the whole mission :( Do you plan to serve ? :) No judgement if not :)
You learned Mayan! I want to learn so many different languages...but not enough time. OK I was way off on that temple count I want to serve I just don't know if that's what the Lord wants me.to do...yet I've been trying to focus more on school since I won't be turning 19 for a little longer than most
I totally understand. It's such a personal thing between you and the Lord. I definitely was so against it for me. But God makes His will known hahaha. Yeah, that's wise. An education is definitely something the Church encourages. And just because it's an option doesn't mean it needs to happen, or happen right when you turn 18 or 19
Yep! First things first: graduate
