Why do Asians really get straight A's? - Project Gutenberg Consortia ...

off, locking myself in my room and avoiding all the regular distractions like television, radio,
even my mobile phone. I called Emilie only once this entire week, since she's also studying
her @ss off. I just now realize that Asians have a compulsive fixation with @sses: spanking
@sses and studying their @sses off. Maybe I should make a theorem about this.
I walk into the testing room and sit at the computer assigned to me. I'm allowed a
pencil with scratch paper. I've never been to jail but this really feels like it— no talking, no
friends and locked inside a room (on the bright side, at least no parents, too.) Many experts
suggest taking exams in a healthy test-taking environment that is conducive for maximum
score efficiency and results. I don't think they consider jail a really good environment.
It's almost time to take the MCAT. My heart is pounding from nervousness and anxiety,
my hands shaking and legs gyrating. I have to suffer through this because those bastards
wouldn't let me bring in my stress ball! I keep telling myself that everything is okay, that
everything will be fine, that I'll ace this exam just like the others. I even remember to recite the
mantras of good test-taking: utilize time management, pace yourself, maintain a good attitude
and keep a sharp mental awareness. I am a MCAT machine, ready to go! But I would much
rather be a MCAT machine with the answers, ready to go!
To my left, I see a very attractive Asian girl, probably Vietnamese— and I could be
wrong since we all look alike— sitting at her computer, ready to take the test as well. She is
wearing a very seductive outfit: a sexy black strapless top, tight hip-hugging black miniskirt,
and black stiletto high heels— whoa! It's bad enough that I'm nervous, but now I have this new
distraction that I definitely don't need. I find it rather inept that a girl would get all dressed up
just to take the MCAT— not that I'm complaining of course.
Someone once asked me why Asian girls get all dressed up to go to class and I told
him that it's actually quite normal. The main reason, obviously, is to get attention, hopefully
attracting a male with a strong moral character and benevolent disposition— yeah right! They
are hoping to land a rich guy to pay for all their stupid cr@p. The other reason Asian girls
dress up, which most people don't know, is that most of them live a sheltered, austere life.
Asian parents, particularly the father, are very strict and oppressively dictate what they do,
what they wear, where they go— big surprise. So they get dressed up to go to class because
they can't get dressed up to go anywhere else. Of course, this isn't the case with every Asian
girl but there are a hell of a lot that get dressed up just to go to class at UCI— not that I'm
complaining of course.
