Summer is escaping through my fingers

I just want to start off by saying that I really LOVE my family. There really is never a dull moment in the Sun-Lai-Chen-Fu Family.

My uncle randomly wanted to treat me for dinner. He claims it's a celebration of completing the first year of college (telling him I got straight A's over dinner was just the icing on the cake), and he also wanted a going-away dinner before I left for my dreadfully long vacation in Asia.
*After today, I will never underestimate the food at Outback Steakhouse again. I haven't been there in years, and I was really shocked at how good everything tasted. Or it could have been the fact that I was extremely hungry. *

I have noticed that I am definitely the favorite in the family, and I am seriously reaping the benefits of being the favorite niece and granddaughter. hahah I feel evil for admitting and acknowledging the favoritism that's going on, but I feel like it's not undeserved. I am the only one who can speak Mandarin fluently. I also am the oldest. I was a good student and still am. I am very nice to my little cousins. I am extremely talkative when it comes to adult issues. I always say the right things at the right times. I buy my cousins ice cream and take them to dumb kiddy movies. I drive people around. I was everyone's flower girl.

It has come to my attention that the Internet is a scary thing. You really can't control it. People will see what they see, and people will most definitely judge you based on what they see. We just have to be careful, and we have to learn not to be embarrassed. I know posting some of this personal stuff will come back to bite me in the ass later. But you know what, I'm at the point in my life where I can care less about what people are thinking. (uhhhh I might not feel the same way for long).

These shoes, by the way, are actually $945..... yeah definitely worth going back to the house for! Didn't Louise say they were $400, then Carrie corrected her and said they were $525??? Well they were both wrong!

My summer ends tomorrow!!! I am so sad. Then I'm off to Taipei and Shanghai until the 28th of July. I'm going to miss my friends. They really are the best part of my life right now aside from my family.
