A Boring Meal

When I was 7-8 years old, I was traveling to the U.S by plane, and we didn't have much money, so we probably rode economy class. I remember my experience on the flight really well because it was my first time ever riding on the plane in addition to the first time speaking to someone who didn't speak Vietnamese.

Despite how uni is really liberal, I hate how uni administration can be really conservative or really slow with their policies and way of doing things. I am pretty sure that pushing start time for school to be later been talked about for multiple years and I have yet been able to wake up at 9 and get to school on time. There was an em...
