so WHAT if i'm english educated. so WHAT if i'm brought up speaking only ENGLISH (
and barely chinese) in my family. so WHAT if
sometimes i do well in my english. so
WHAT?!then there's like
EXPECTATIONS from you guys. if i dont do well. people will go like.
that's impossible. HELLO? do i look like a straight-As-student- from the Oxford University?
NO! i make FLAWS people. FLAWS. just like ANYONE else. and if i
do fair well in it. you say im weird. and what?
haolian????-slapsownforehead
hard- i dint even say a thing you buffalo!
what's life when every english paper you sit for, is filled with
PRESSURE. having stinking thoughts running in and out of your mind. like. if i do badly. people will start mocking at me. and be
challenged? i hate competitions. i
hate it. let's be frank here. people, they
THINK my english is relatively
good. but i tell them time and
AGAIN that NO. MY ENGLISH IS NOT GOOD. why wont it get
INTO your peabrain?! i call myself a borderline-case. wobbling on this thin
thin line. push me a little to the left, i pass. push me a little to the right, i fail.
and THEN there's something called;
chinese. rachel's greatest fear. no thanks to
unwanted remarks given off by people. yes. im chinese. and i ought to be able to speak and write chinese. i CAN speak and write chinese. just that im NOT GOOD at it. i
suck at it. there, i've said it. i've admitted it. but does it stop there? apparently NOT. scoff. scoff at me all you want. argh. im tired of it. years and
years of all this shit. 'rachel! speak chinese!' is there a LAW saying i HAVE to speak chinese 24/7? no i dont think so. so get your butt out of my face. i speak chinese and people go like
WOW. like smth went wrong there. and all the sacarsm starts gushing right at me.
i think all of your brains are stereotyped with the fact that
rachel is suppose to excel in english and totally suck at chinese. and i think im going to stop here. so much to say, so little time.
