I'm not really sure how to answer that, haha
heyyy Shauntel long time no chat haha
Oh hey!!!! Haha that's cool! How ya been?
its been good! I had a wonderful weekend.
Awesome! What did you do? What made it so wonderful?
Had a wedding for my good friend from my mission and had a great birthday dinner for my girlfriends brother. her dad is such a good cook
Oh nice!!! That's so exciting! Sounds like a fantastic weekend
what about you?
Mine was good. We have a family BBQ at my brother's house. Everyone was there, we made way too much food but it was soooo good I had lots of homework too which wasn't very fun
left overs are cool though haha. i hate homework. Im glad I don't haev to deal with homework for a few months
Yeah they are! Me too, homework is the worst part of school haha
honestly the school system is not really good right now
Do you mean like Nationwide?
yes
Yeah, I wouldn't ever say it was perfect haha
the letter grade system is kind of bad because it doesnt trully determine your intelligence as a human being
Yeah I think so too. I feel that way with huge exams too, like the act and sat
yeah did you take teh ACT?
I did yeah!
how did you do?
Haha I didn't do great on it though. I get really good grades but I do terrible on standarized tests.
timed tests are the worst
They are and they stress me out big time
same. I have testing anxiety so i do bad on tests
I understand. So any fun plans for today? Haha I'm at school currently.
im just chilling today. I don't have any responsibiilties or work I really need to do so
Oh man that sounds nice haha. I wish....
its actually nice when you have days like this after a busy week
I agree. Sometimes you just need days where you do nothing
yeah just to refresh and reset
Yes for sureee
how do you reset or refresh?
Haha I like to bake when I'm stressed. Or just listen to music Also driving in the car in silence is pretty nice sometimes What about you?
yeah i also do the same with driving in silence. Music has gotten boring lately I also like to just go on a bike ride and just meditate that way
Haha really? Nice! I love bike rides!!! They are so fun! I could bike for miles and I would be so happy haha
right the feeling of the wheels rotating as you pedal and the freedom feels so good. something about it makes me so happy
Haha yes! And the wind rushing by while your riding feels pretty great too
yess it does.
Now I really want to take a bike ride haha
hahaha My girlfriend is borrowing mine
(btw if I leave this conversation without saying goodbye it is an accident. My phone kicked me out yesterday while I was in the middle of talking to someone I felt so bad about abandoning them lol We were having a good conversation too haha
no worries
Haha okay.
if you could live in a fantasy universe what would it be?
Oh goodness, I don't know haha. Maybe just a place where everyone was kind to one another. This world has gotten so crazy What about you?
probably harry potter. the world of magic sounds really fun. I'd learn all the convenient spells and make my life easier
Oh yeah! That sounds pretty cool haha. My sister would love that too. She's a huge Harry Potter fan. I never really got into it though I only read like the first two books
I never read the books either. Not a huge reading guy.
Haha yeah. I like to read but I don't do it often enough. Life just gets busy
same
So any fun plans for the summer
but the time I spend playing video games I probably could read a book
Hahaha that's finny Funny*
in the summer IM just rock climbing as much as I can and working
Oh fun! Rock climbing is so much fun!!! Would you ever go skydiving
yes and I would love to hang glide someday
Oh yeah!!! That sounds thrilling haha
what are somethings that are on your bucket list?
Haha traveling is a big one. I haven't really thought much about it What about you
I lvoe to travel too, but I travel to mostly eat the food and the scenic area are just bonuses haha for me right now I would also say traveling and doing a tour of south korea and japan
Haha I was thinking about food too!!!! I would love to e able to try authentic foreign food Oh yes! That sounds amazing! I also want to go on a cruise one day too. My parents went on one when I was younger and they had the time of their lives
I need to go on a cruise they are relatively not too expensive
Yeah haha depends on where you go though too
where did your parents go?
Haha, honestly I can't even remember. I was like 6 when they went.
thats the worst! I can say that I did a lot of things when I was younger but I cant remember them
Haha I wish we could remember more things. It's incredible how our brain chooses what we remember
yeah it is very interesting
For sure
I also think it is interesting that our brains choose to remember what we want to remember but hides the hard and dark part of our lives sometimes and even though its hidden in our brains it affects us some how
Haha yeah. Isn't that like called suppression? Where like our subconscious does that for us?
yeah I think so.
Have you taken a psychology class? I took one, it was pretty interesting stuff
yeah I've taken AP psych when I was in high school
Fun! Me too
the creepiest thing I remember learning is schitzophrania
Oh yeah for sire
we had to close our eyes and listen to a recording of what those people here all the time.
That one is pretty crazy
it was super creepy
Oh really? Oh boy... That does sound pretty creepy
its scarred me
Oh my word, haha. My class never did that but we watched several videos on it
its kind of sad that those people get it I have a theory
It really is Any mental illness is unfortunate and sad What's your theory
I think psychological ilneess like that is what happens when our bodies get weaker and get closer to the vail and we are hearing the evil spirits putting us down
Hmmm that's interesting. Makes sense too
right? I wouldn't be surprised if I am right when we find out about this kind of stuff after we die
Yeah true. It's all going to be super interesting It'll be crazy too to be filled with tons of information we could never understand in this life
yeah I can't wait to be honest. I want to die right now to see whats on the other side haha but I wouldn't because I love the people in my life right now
Haha funny. But yeah I know what you mean.
hahaha if you had a million dollars right now what would you do
I'd probably travel and pay for school! Haha, what about? Oh and I'd biy a car
if i had a million dollars I would finish school because i've come too far. then I would try to make a video gaming streaming a career and support myself until I made it. OR I would buy a nice Sprinter van, convert it to have a bed, cargo space for climbing gear, a small kitchen and fridge and a solar panel system to have electricity and travel to climbina d go surfing and see the nature
Oh boy! You got it all planned out haha! That sounds awesome!!! Surfing sounds pretty cool too. I would love to learn. But I feel like it'd be scary to learn at first
yeah for sure. I never surfed but I need to learn. Its one of those things you know?
Haha yeah! Surfing looks totally thrilling
do you have an interesting in learning a language?
I do! It would actually be my dream to become fluent in several languages I just find language fascinating What about you
I want to learn spanish and Chineses and japanses wow I suck at typing correctly haha
That'd be awesome! Haha I get it, I type bad sometimes too haha My uncle knows chinese But I don't. And I'm Chinese! Haha
oh nice! I am Korean so I speak that and english obviously and cambodian because I learned that in my mission
Woah! That's awesome!!!! Have you known Korean all your life?
Yea! I was born there and moved to the state when I was about 9 years old and lived here since
Oh my gosh! That is too cool!!! I was adopted from China when I was two so I don't remember any of the language
Oh I think you were telling me about that do you live in Taiwan right now?
Haha no I love in Washington state
oh thats right there is another girl on here that is from Washington I think her name on here is Jules
Oh ive talked to her! I didn't know that about her that's cool
yeah shes nice.
She is!!
heres an interesting question for you. What do you absolutley despise about washington?
Oh my word...the place where I live, tri-cities, it is SOOOO WINDY I hate the wind so much We have massive wind storms sometimes We have had trees uproot and things fall off of building and craziness
wow... I hate wind for the most part haha. I only appreciate the wind when I am sweating really hard on a hot day from playing sports or something I don't like Utah for its winter I think it would be really cool if it was summer all year long in Utah
Haha yeah that's the only time wind is good. I agree. Haha yeah winter isn't my favorite either. Washington has had some baked winter's too. Haha that would be nice I would be happy if everyday was 65-75 degrees
65 is too cold for me hahaha I need at least 75
Haha really? I like the because I can put on a light jacket I can't stand when it gets over one hundred degrees thoigh
hundred can be too much but I still bask in it haha. I am a lizard
Hahaha that's funny. What's the hottest weather you've been in? When I went to Vegas it was 124 Degrees It was death haha
yeah My mom lived in Vegas for 2 years and I think it hit around that when I visited a couple times. I like it. I am so weird haha
Yeah it's terrible haha Oh my word I can't It got so hot the pool got to bath water temperature
hahaha thats awesome!
So I couldn't even cool off in the pool Haha I hated jt
being cold or chilly at all just drains my body with energy becasue my body tenses up to keep warm no matter how much clothes I am wearing and even when I layer the clothes are heavy and uncomfortable because of layers
Oh I see. That makes sense too.
so heat i embrace it
I'm fairly dark skinned and so in the summer I get overheated real fast Haha that's great
ooohh but at least you don't burn.
Haha I know it's super nice! I just get super tan I went on trek last summer and boy I got super dark while everyone else burned pretty bad
do you like being dark? I know that some asians hate to tan and they like to stay ghostly white
Well I'm not like super dark, just darker for a Chinese person. I have some Mongolian in me too which explains my darker tone Yeah I do I stand out in my family because they are very light skinned Haha really? I haven't heard that
yeah koreans hate tanning
Haha that's funn funny
they like that K drama, kpop look you know? im not about that though
Hahaha yeah I don't even really know what kpop is but I've heard of it
like korean dramas and korean pop music
Ohhh haha cool
brb real quick
Alrighty
back!
I actually have to get going, it was nice to talk to you again. Have a great day!!
ok see you later! it was nice talking to you
