As the days keep turning into night, and even breathing feels all right

So I went to a presentation for Ohio State University last week with my brother (who is a senior in high school), and this conversation occurred between the family sitting with us and me:

Man: So what grade are you in?
Me: Oh, I'm a sophomore in college.
Man: Oh, so it's almost your turn! *is excited*
Woman: Are you an expert at visiting colleges now because of your brother? :D
Me: ...I'm in college. (Sigh.)


I guess they didn't hear the "in college" part, haha. This is just like the time I went to Taiwan the summer before 10th grade and someone asked me if I was excited for ~7th~ grade. And the time a man from my church (who has known me for years - just saying) asked my brother what colleges he was applying to and then asked me what grade in high school I was in. Annnd the time I asked Josh Li how old I really looked, and he said, "definitely 16." LOL. How sad. So...getting mistaken for a high schooler? Just another day in the life of Kathy Chao, it seems. :]

Oh! I finally bought new rain boots. They have fishes on them! HOORAY.

  1. So I was at the CCF freshman sophomore dinner this year cause I had to open up and make sure you guys didn't burn my church building down. Anyway, I was just sitting there and since I didn't have a blue sophomore designated t-shirt and god forbid an upperclassman be at the dinner, I was asked if I was a freshman a couple times. Sigh..."no, I'm actually a 5th year...*awkward*..."

  2. Aw....better than getting mistaken for being much much much older than you really are! My first day working at the local elementary school, a kid asked me if I had kids of my own. HAHAHA.

    and..YEAH! I was planning to visit this week but I got wrapped up with internship apps and...dying from allergies =[[[[
