Back to School

I've been slacking off A LOT and I apologize for being super lazy. I just got back to school last Sunday and this is my second week of classes so I've been kinda busy.

To make matters worse, my roommate moved out so I'm TV-less which is horrible because I love TV and the Australian open is on.

I bet a lot of you are wondering why doesn't Arisa make new posts on her blog with all the free time? Wellll I would but I spend half of my free time sitting in my room in silence. Did you laugh a little? It wasn't a joke. This is a serious matter.


So to pass my free time when I don't have homework or golf practice/workouts, I made myself a twitter with the help of my friend. It's not really going well at the moment cause it looks like nonsense to me and confuses me but feel free to follow me and don't worry I'm working on a new post as we speak, well not really cause I'm not speaking but you know what I mean.

Peeling Veggies Part 2

Hiya sooo before you start reading this you should definitely consider reading the first part to understand this more if you already haven't. 

You remember when I said I loved peeling veggies? I lied. I hate peeling potatoes with a passion because they're secretly evil. Peeling potatoes frustrates me and I'm the type of person who never gets mad. If you ever decide to enter me in a potato peeling contest please don't. I will probably lose, come in last and embarrass you. Just a fair warning.

My best friend thought it would be funny to get me a sack of potatoes for Christmas because she knows just looking at potatoes makes me mad. What she doesn't know is I'm practicing to potato her house very soon. Good thing she has brick walls maybe we can make mash potatoes after.


The past week hasn't been so fun for me and it was suppose to cause its the first real week I got to spend at home since august. Let me tell you about the time I had to peel the worst potatoes ever. Soo I expected to come home and relax because college is pretty stressful but instead, I spend my week especially Christmas peeling carrots and potatoes. I really don't mind carrots but potatoes are a NO. I don't think my mom understands that I hate peeling potatoes. I give her the obvious hint - like when she brings out the potato sack I run away.


The worst part about peeling potatoes is that I have a time limit of when they need to be done. Every time my mom tells me when the potatoes need to be done, I try to tell her its impossible to finish it on time because I'm so slow at peeling potatoes but nooo she never listens.

Normally my mom wouldn't freak out as much when it takes me twenty minutes to peel a potato but that day was the day of our annual kind of Christmas dinner party and my mom was rushing to make lots of food for our guests. I learned that day to never cross my mom when she's stressed and making food. Also being incapable of peeling potatoes like a normal person didn't really lighten her mood either.

Okay so majority of the time when I'm trying to explain stuff to my mom it usually ends up in a kinda argument and this is how it went down.
Note- the kinda argument was like a mixture of Laotian and English. I tried my best to translate it.

Mom- How does it take you 20 minutes just to peel one potato? Really?
Me- Mommm you don't understa-
Mom- No it doesn't take me 20 minutes just to peel a potato when I can peel 6 
Me- Well I'm sorry I don't have magical potato peeling powers like you do
Me - And its taking me forever because you bought the ugliest potatoes ever
Mom- Why are you talking when you could be peeling?
Mom- Oh and I still need 4 potatoes


What I meant by ugly potatoes is deformed potatoes. It really doesn't make potato peeling much faster when I have the worst sack of deformed potatoes. Remember when I said potatoes are evil? Welll deformed potatoes are the evilest of them all. If they had faces I bet they would be laughing and taunting me right now.

And because of evil deformed potatoes, I spent my first relaxing week at home and Christmas slaving away in the kitchen peeling potatoes.
