Dear Year 4, Talk to you soon!

Ahh done exams. what a relief. Time to move on to bigger and better things.
The heavy rain last night didnt stop me from taking my walk...yea I must really be enjoying it to have that kind of motivation. However, the earthworms were having their annual reunion on the walkways and as it got darker, I was literally jumping from side to side to avoid accidentally squishing their water-clogged bodies. I remember one of my first year biology profs joking about how these earth worms come out of the soil in April to check out potential partners. I did notice a lot of worm couples as it got darker. As disgusted as i was, I must say their love lives were going better than mine.

So there's this silly thing that's been bothering me for the past day or so. Someone said to me how they absolutely hate fake accents and that Indians should continue to speak in an Indian accent even when living in North America. However, that person also added that it's important to dress like North Americans in order to fit in. I'm not sure I understand the logic here. What is the point dressing up to 'fit in' and then talking like a fob? Honestly, I think it's important to work on getting the accent right because I know native Americans that genuinely cannot understand the Indian accent. I mean, when in Rome, BE like the Romans; not just DRESS like them.
Am I being petty? hey but that's what this blog is about - the petty things in life lol.
