I've just created a new level of Asianness--and I'm not even Asian.

[Inquisitive_Mom]

<p>Millicad–Thanks for pointing the problem with this post out so clearly. It is an important point to make.</p>

[shsblu527]

<p>yeah i agree with Inquinsitive Mom; as an asian myself, i can’t say that it makes me feel respected.</p>

I normally eat supper at around 9:30 (actually I just finished right now). I normally don’t eat anything substantial for lunch (half a bagel?). I normally don’t feel tired until 8 AM the next morning.

</p>

<p>Personally, that would be madness for me. I typically eat dinner at around 5:30, and that’s with lunch and snacks after lunch. Sometimes I even go to sleep at 9:30.</p>

<p>How about a life?</p>

There’s so much red tape in taking college courses from a “normal” high school in my state

</p>

<p>That’s why they’re called “college” courses, not “high school” courses.</p>

<p>How much homework can you expect from this 11 hour schoolday?</p>

[yoursky]

<p>no offense, this doesn’t even meet a “new level of asianness”
and you’re right, you’re not asian</p>

<p>sorry, i just don’t like it when people insinuate that they have topped most asians (specifically, chinese and koreans) by achieving a level of awesomeness when most normal public school kids in those respective countries are doing the same thing ;;</p>

<p>i don’t go to one, thank god because i wouldn’t be able to stand it, but really, do you actually believe college classes until 9pm is a new feat for asians? :P</p>

On the bright side, colleges will love you. Assuming that you maintain a decent GPA.

The more ironic thing is that I’m not really aiming toward Ivys or anything, just my state school.</p>

<p>

Because it reinforces the idea of racial behavior. The OP is saying that going to school from 9-9 is an Asian thing to do. Associating behavior with a race, even if it’s a positive association, is generally a bad idea. Then, the Korean-American kid who can’t keep an A in APUSH feels less Asian. Then, people get the idea that one can “act [insert race]” here and they spread it, perhaps negatively, with other races. Obviously the post is more a symptom than a source, but it’s still not the best idea for a thread title anyone ever had.</p>

<p>Positive stereotypes are harmful too.

</p>

<p>Not that this is a good excuse, but I’m certainly not the first and there’s nothing wrong with making fun of sterotypes.</p>

6:30AM catch bus, 8:00AM 1st period starts, periods punctuated by 10minute breaks and lunch and dinner are 40 minutes apiece. 10:00PM is when classes end and since i live an hour away from school, and traffic jams are crazy in Seoul, i arrive home at about 11:20PM.</p>

<p>on saturdays the morning schedule is same but thankfully we end at 1:00PM.</p>

<p>and no, i’m not bragging. sometimes i think i live in a communist country.

</p>

<p>Um… wow. What do you guys even study?</p>

<p>

How about a life?

</p>

<p>That’s why I want to get this changed. If my school would just change some of it’s crazy policies as I mentioned earlier, I’d be out of school at 5.</p>

<p>Here’s my first semester schedule by the way (at least until my school decides to change it again):</p>

<p>ACA 111: College Student Success (Required 1 hour P/F Class)
CHM 151: General Chemistry I
Civics and Economics Honors
ENG 111: Expository Writing
POL 120: American Government</p>

<p>

Yay multi-nationalism?</p>

<p>

That’s why they’re called “college” courses, not “high school” courses.

</p>

<p>I hate the fact that there’s so much red tape. College classes should be different because of substance, not because you have to jump through a mole of hoops.</p>

[chrisxluna]

<p>Your schedule isn’t that bad… As long as you enjoy it.</p>

[dunbar]

<p>I can tell you right now you won’t be getting another 1,511 posts anytime soon. :P</p>

[coollege]

<p>Good luck…you’ll need it. I don’t think I’d last a month with that schedule.</p>

<p>What’s that supposed to mean?</p>

[ThisCouldBeHeavn]

<p>You’ll be working instead of posting on here.</p>

[chanfest22]

<p>From January till April I had to leave for school at 7:30 am and got home at 9:30 pm [14 hour days]. Yeah, it blew.</p>

<p>It’s funny that you would post that video, because it’s been much maligned by many anti-racists as a bad try at satire. Not saying that those are my exact views of the video.</p>
