Tough Cookies

Dear Family,
It's been quite a week over here in KL. I'm so glad we discovered Skype and can now chat with each other more frequently because finally (FINALLY!) my internet at home is up. Apart from that, much of my week was concerned with friends and school. There's a lot to cover in class now, and that goes for all my classes, so it's important that I'm awake. In terms of my friends, I think I need to give them the silent treatment for awhile, because right now I feel quite alone. Everyone talks to Mahdiya and sort of ignores me, which is of course making me angry and I just don't know how to talk about it with her, because she already thinks I'm this whining little girl sometimes. The fact that I'm not even making a move towards my crush has all my friends saying that I need to do it soon. On this topic, I've got some thinking to do, because I'm scared to. Anyway, I know you guys don't want to hear about that, so I'll just shut up on the subject. I went to the Open House thing and felt completely out of the loop with my fellow Malays who were so at home teasing each other and everything. I'm definitely not going to fit into the Malay crowd at Taylor's anytime soon, and I've actually got quite mixed feelings about that. Bottom line: I need to do some major growing up soon, so that my friends will stop thinking so little of me and actually talk to me more. One of the ways I plan to show them that? By being a little bit more quiet and a lot less loud. They can't change who I am, but hell, I'll show them that I can be mature if I wanted to. I especially want to show this to Mahdiya, and right now I'm not sure if I want to argue with her about this or just keep quiet. Don't get me wrong, she's a good friend, but there are times when I just feel alone. That's why my title this week is Tough Cookies, because I believe I have some major internal hurdles to overcome before this semester is over.

Talk to all of you on Monday.
