INDEPENDENCE
I realized that I haven't updated in a week. It's been relaxed and busy the same time. Relaxed cuz school work hasn't piled yet but busy cuz of errands. I was just telling my mom last nite how I'm actually kind of glad that my parents went to China. This will probably come off sounding selfish but I feel like I'm finally starting to become an adult.
I moved into my apartment upstairs (I wanted to take a picture but I think I broke my digital camera). The move wasn't easy and I think I twisted my hip cuz it feels real funny but I did it pretty much all by myself - even the heavy bookshelf & TV. I know it sounds silly but I'm proud of this. If my parents were in T.O., I know that they would've come down to help me as they've always done with every move I've ever made. And I, as usual, would've just let them do everything. I'm beginning to realize how spoiled I am by my parents. How will this carry on through the rest of my life?
I actually went grocery shopping yesterday - REAL groceries! I got mangos and pears, chinese cooking sauces, 'guy lan', rice, tofu - even pork!! I'm so proud of myself, buying raw meat always seemed like a big cooking milestone to me. I also skipped the snack aisle. Well...almost. I had to get the rice crackers, they were calling. But I didn't wander around looking at the different snacks like I normally do. If my parents were here, they would've bought the food for me too...and I wouldn't have paid attention as to what to get. Now I'm actually trying to learn for myself! The excitement is coming from its novelty...I'm sure going grocery shopping will feel like a chore at some point in my life. The next step will be to actually COOK the food =P. I'll let you know how it goes.
