We have to live up to our expectations

Today is the homework day.

As in....even if you want to go outside...you can't....

I really want to go outside today.....to go somewhere....but I know that I have homework to do......

So I can't...I'm stuck inside......

I know I have my history project due...a science worksheet....and an english worksheet that I'm almost done with...but time is slipping away..so I don't think I can leave my home.....unless it's dinner or something =.=

*sigh*

Weekends are supposed to let students rest from school and go outside with their free time...but it never is...at least for the students in my school....

Instead, we spend our weekend writing homework at home......there is no time to go outside....

I've actually asked some of my friends in the U.S. if they have the same situation...sure they have homework...but I don't think they are as pressurized as the students in our school....and that from some people's experience, our school is much tougher than some of the top schools in the U.S.......

Why do Asians have to take everything so seriously?

Our parents want us to learn an instrument, or sometimes even two.....they want us to get all A's....no B's are allowed....and they want us to study study study....who else would take a PSAT test in 7th grade?

And they don't give as much freedom to us than they do in the U.S.

But sometimes...I do think they limit too much.....in the U.S, it is normal to wear makeup in 6th grade or something.....but in Taiwan....wearing makeup when you're 20 years old is called "early"....

Wow.
