One of my students has EXO poster on the wall from "Call me baby" era, so nostalgic

Came home super motivated, started to plan everything out, and then mom came in and and started to ask about some old stuff that I promised to help someone with and didn't do, so this all continued to the things like that is why I don't believe/trust you when it come to your promises, plans, responsibilities, duties and blah-blah-blah. Then she turned around and went to watch tv. It took me a second to loose all of my motivation. So mad at myself and at the situation.

I want to have a warm autumn: warm sunny weather, yellow and read leaves. The time when you still can go outside just in jeans and t-shirt.

But all I have it's -1c, snow, wind and I am already wearing hat, warm coat, and boots. In few day I will probably need to take out my winter clothes

Yesterday when I said snow it was tiny snowflakes which didn't even hit the ground. But today... VoilaScreenshot_2021-10-05-11-36-53-509_com.miui.gallery.png

I don't live in the us so I'm not sure either how it affects.

But it's just plain weird.

Agree.

If to look phenotype wise, our population's look is very broad: we have people with fair complexion (green/light brown eyes, brown hair) to more darker complexion (dark brown eyes, dark brown/black hair). May be that is the reason

What?? That's ridiculous

Being from Central Asia I am not sure how to react or should I react to it at all or whether this information affects my life at all

Quote from dopiee

Even if people know SA is a part of Asia, let's take an example of India, they will say you're not "proper" Asians

They all have a view of what Asians are supposed to look like and that's the only way they can be Asians lol.

One thing that I discovered few years ago, Central Asians are considered "white" by us census bureau

I got it in June, symptoms were not really symptoms: had barely 98.6 F (not really high body temperature), but is was strange to have it in cycles: fine in the morning, up during the day, afternoon fine, evening up again, also had sore throat and bit of a headache. Went to the hospital just to be safe and my test was positive. I was working from home, so didn't contact with anybody, except parents who were also working from home. They were tested negative though. I spent two weeks in my room. Sneaking into the kitchen and bathroom when no one was there. Got contacted by doctor by phone often who was asking about my condition. Smell wise it was fine. I had really bad smelling soap at home, and mom was always telling me to take it away from the soap place on the shelf. I brought it to my room and was sniffing it a few times a day just to be sure about the smell, but it smelled awful as usual. After two weeks nurse came to my home and got swab, and I was tested negative.

Important thing to mention I was vaccinated before I had covid. That's probably the reason for having it without heavy symptoms
