today, on the way to norman, i finally witnessed something i have always wondered ALL my life. i've always wondered how do the mail delivering trucks get to neighborhoods and stuff. i wondered if mail delivering trucks ever went on the highways. i've wondered because i've NEVER seen one on the highway. well, as you have probably guessed, there it was: the driver on the right side, in the white cube-shaped vehicle, on the highway. amazing.

later, i also saw a truck pulling a trailer and one of the tires on the trailer blew and the truck had to pull over.

also, before work today, i finally got advised to enroll. i'm always pretty bad at getting advised, and somehow get enrolled into my classes okay. i had a pretty good conversation with my advisor today. it made me question if i really wanted to do what i was doing but then again it made me realize i don't know what else i could do. she told me about her life how she was into the same things i were, history, english, writing, some science, and never had a major until her senior year. she later taught french in the phillipines. it was interesting i suppose. at the end of my advising we had the awkward silence. i was pretty sure i was ready to go but she didn't say something like, "okay, you're good to go" or anything. we just sat silently and awkwardly for about 30 seconds. i later had the guts to ask "so.. is that everything? am i good to go?" and somehow it was still awkward.

recently i've been experiencing things that made me realize how old i am getting. during christmas break, when my dad's friend and his family came over, he (my dad's friend) shook my hand. i've always wondered when will i be "old enough" to greet an adult asian man by shaking his hand, and not with the typical greeting children do.

last night i went out to eat with my parents and some people they knew. this older asian man approached and talked to me and we had a conversation about school and stuff. i was pretty surprised because i don't usually have conversations with older people. he went to OU and stayed at the same dorms i stayed. he complained about the frat guys always loud and stuff. haha. he graduated in like 1986 or something with a bachelors in classics? or something and got his masters in california at USBA, which i'm not sure what school that is. he later went to law school at OU, where his tuition was waived and he had $1000 a month to spend. he practiced law for a while and got tired of it and then worked for the post office. he told me working in the health field is a great choice, but he said if i ever got a chance to work for the government, i should take it. the benefits are a plus for my family if i ever decide to have one. interesting.-
