The Fetal Diaries #29: This post actually has something to do with teenager tck problems for once.
This post has 297 views
Well lets see.. Hopefully i don’t collapse into sleep while i txt this cause for once, i actually have a (i think) point in my blog.
You might already know that I, kristine, am a teenager. A tck teenager, blah blah blah.
Anyways.. I feel like i don’t have a life. Like, all i do is go to school, work.. Not enough time for myself. And being a tck, i have friends all over the world and i’m the kind of person that keep friendships going and all and so when i *do* have time for myself, i’m on msn or whatever to catch up on news.
I mean, sure, i go out to party sometimes and stuff and people may argue that i’m just being a whiner but i feel like when i’m out, i leave just when the fun’s about to start. Honestly. Like, when we had a sleepover with our jap exchange student friends, i had to sleep early and leave early cause of work. Then today, party, but had to leave early cause of work. And afterschool i’ve to go home early cause.. I’ve school the next day. It sucks. Then my mom complains about what i do when i get home cause i spend *that* time to talk to people over in sweden or the uae or something. And i’m losing sleep too. I feel like i have a bad case of jet lag. I’m always up till at least midnight before i can actually go to sleep.. Cause i’m always on my cell msn chatting with people in the other side of the world. It’s so hard to balance. But if i quit my job, what money will i use to get out of the country? It’s really my choice to work.. I just wish i had more time. I don’t care about getting exhausted or something. I always am anyways. I just miss going home at 1 am after countless hours of karaoke, food and laughter. Dammit.
I tried making myself feel better by talking to friends in calgary and getting ourselves excited by talking about what to do cause we’re going to the [drum roll] STAMPEDE!
Iunno, i guess i’ve just been having a hard time balancing keeping in touch with people, work, school and problems. I think you can tell, if you’ve been reading my previous blogs.. Lately, all i’ve been on is this slowly moving downward spiral. It sounds emo but it’s true. Maybe when summer comes, i’ll be better. Then maybe i’ll start looking for a new job that’s easier and better for me.. Okay, rant over (and i know that ended up just like my other blogs when my intention wasn’t that.. Oh well) pc’n!

hey Kristine
I think this is a good opportunity for you to learn how to balance work/study with your life. This is something you will need after you just work too, after you have kids, etc, the quest for finding time for ourselves never ends (or at least that’s how I feel).
I know it’s great to spend hours on the internet with your friends from all over, but you said it yourself that you wish you were doing more things for you (like hanging in a cafe or something).
So maybe you could skip the internet for one day and do something else that day, something more for you.
But that’s just an idea, sorry if it sounds silly (or doesn’t take into account your need of being in touch with your friends from all over the world).
I hope I at least helped you think about it

I realize that we are in an electronic era where text messaging is the norm and therefore text vernacular and spelling is accepted. However when referring to people abbreviations can seem derogatory even when not intentional - japnse,jpns,jpnese…..Perhaps I’m dating myself, but the use of ‘jap’ is in my time considered extremely derogatory even if one is referring to oneself.
Surely we are not too busy to take the time to do thing correctly. If you are so busy that you lose your humanity, then it is time to prioritize, not just for time, but for your development as a person. Give up something that is less important to you than who you are.

Mmm, Catherine dear, you come across as a bit condescending.
Kristine is talking about friends of hers, in a context where “jap” is probably the least offensive nickname you’d hear, gathering from her other posts.
Most of the time I agree that taking the extra time to spell something out adds to whatever you’re saying… but if you know the meaning behind it, is it relevant?
Political correctness is often made by majorities who feel guilty about minorities, but don’t actually ask minorities what they think. Besides, in the international scheme of things, what’s a minority?
In the end, I think we’re all friends here. As long as we’re understood, it’s all good, right? And this forum is probably the last one anyone should potentially be offended in.

Dan, I’m not being politically correct. I’m reacting to having been at the receiving end of many “I didn’t mean anything by it. I thought since we’re friends it’s OK to call you n****r” situations. Her friends may not mind, any many Japanese may not mind, but for a young person in this world (and I’m not referring to myself :))it is important for all of us to be at least aware of the potential for insult. Being a TCK and in need of a place to relax does not excuse us from that.
