The International Student Fellowship (ISF) organized a farm trip to a farm in Hooper and a pumpkin patch in Oakland, NE. Its purpose was basically to kill our weekend boredom.
We went to the farm to see the equipment they used on a farm and learn about how corn and soy beans are harvested in Nebraska. I got to see how soy bean (yellow beans) plants look like. Besides, they also provided a sack lunch for us.
After a looooong while being in the farm, we finally left for pumpkin patch in Oakland. There are, activities such as go karts, slingshots, corn maze, zip lines, and campfire, at 5 dollars. I guess that place is more suitable for kids because the games are pretty simple. The worst thing was we had our campfire in a fenced place full with animal dungs and the campfire wasn't as big as I expected. It was rather a small fire like the one we have for bbq, and the 'smore' they had were just burnt marshmallows. Anyway, I had fun because I had friends around with me. They did a lot of funny and stupid acts and we took a lot of pictures. =D
Now, Hong Kee and the fellows from apt 13 went Omaha for Wasabi sushi and I am now stuck in Cather! >.< They did invite me to go actually but I just feel like having some me-time and sleep until I wake up naturally. But i didn't get to do that because my mom and sister called at 11am and had a 2 on 1 quarrel again just because they think that I just wanted to sleep and was not willing to talk to them. I already informed them about the trip the day before to avoid these situations. I don't know what they expect to get from a person who slept at 3.30am yesterday and got up by a call, but I just don't want them to think that I'm not willing to spend time with them.
Sometimes I just don't feel like sharing things with them just because they often get mad, nervous and freak out with small issues. I don't mind them sharing every single small thing with me such as how bad the weather nowadays is (when I'm suffering worse weather) and how naughty her students were, but they just like to intervene my decision for every single small thing such as what time to do laundry and what to have for lunch, and get sensitive and mad when I think they are too caring towards me.
For me, the distance between us is so far and the talking time is so limited, we should appreciate the time spending with each other but not being controlling towards each and everything I do and quarreling with each other. Sometimes I rather I missed the call or hanged up the call right away than looking at the angry and crying faces. Yes I'm hot tempered but I am working on it very hard but still I can't change the situation by unilateral effort.
