2 long hours at the medical center
by Jonathan Tsou on Dec.30, 2009, under My Daily Life
Today I went to a medical center with my grandparents. I thought it was going to be fast but the their doctor took forever. It took like 30mins to wait and another 1.5hr to do the actual heart check. I waited outside the whole time. Glad I bought my ipod cuz i knew it was going to be boring. But listening to ipod wasnt fun after like an hour. so i went to the car and listened to music on the loud speakers. After a while the cd player stopped working. I doesnt read cd-r’s that well. and plus i was afraid that when they are done, they wont be able to find me. I went back and found a seat besides a mexican family, both parents, a daughter and a son. their dad sat right next to me and started to ask me whether i was waiting for the doctor too. I said no i was waiting for my grandparents and he was like oh good boy. Then after a long moment of silence. he asked me what college i am in. and im like no im not in college im in high school and they;re like wtf. and he talked to me about life and careers. he told me:
life is all about studying now. you have to absorb as many things as you can. like when i was young i didnt get to go to school. so i went back to school to learn. and now im getting a decent life. But a lot of my friends that didnt study lost their direction in life. and they all retired early.
then i thought of my dad cuz he wants to retire now. hope i can still convince him to still work.
