Edit: Hey, remember that Chinese essay I wrote? For the contest that pays $200? Apparently I'm the only one who entered, and the organization is being an asshole and cancelling the contest to save money. I heard my mom arguing on the phone with them. She was yelling into the phone. Really loudly. About how I stayed up and all and how they're being downright bitches just to try and save $200 when they were originally going to pay out $450 (total, counting 1st 2nd and 3rd place). But hey, come on, this is one of those stingy little Asian American organizations put together by all those stingy Asian mothers; what did she expect?
I kind of want to tell her to drop it, that I don't mind, but it won't make a difference. Really, it's not about me. She'll probably feel better after yelling at them. So I guess I'll let her.
For some reason I'm not angry at all, even though I should be. I guess I was kind of expecting this.
... really. It's just an essay. And hey, they spurred me to write a Chinese essay, a good one, long, not one of the short drabbles I usually give my grandma... I wrote a real essay, and that's enough compensation for me. Improved Chinese skillz! =^^=
Edit: Apparently my mom's skeeriness got the people to agree to give $100 to the 2 participants (yay I'm not alone!). So. I guess that's that. /shrug.
Really, why do I stay up until 12 when I COULD've gone to bed like 2 hours earlier? I'm like, purposely sleep-depriving myself.
... chatting with Del poses WAAAAAY too much of a distraction on AIM. Urkh. I guess I'll make up for the lost sleep in Geometry tomorrow.
