Okay, I'm back. The Big Bang Theory's over.
Who are you, my Asian mother?

Well, I am Asian...

Now get back to your homework! I expect to see all A's next year!

Then you see my connection.
Psh. Easy enough; at least you're not expecting all A+'s!

Wow, that's even stricter than my mother. I had at least two cumulative B/B+'s and I still got into MIT, so don't worry.

No, my parents are okay with just A's. It's just that they think that my weakness is in math, so when they see a report card with an A+ in everything except for math, some issues arise.
Ah, that's reassuring to know. I doubt I'll make it out of high school a with an unweighed 4.0 GPA.

I think I have a 3.9 unweighted GPA. Maybe a bit lower.
And yeah, Asians are supposed to be masters of math...

*sigh* Yeah, those stereotypes.
I know mathematics isn't my forte, but at least I'm one grade ahead in math according to California standards. My parents don't seem to understand that and lecture me about it. 
I'm much more interested in science.

Yeah, I'm fine if there's math in science. It still can be interesting. But sometimes, when it's just math alone...

Physics seem really interesting, but I can imagine the issue with formulas.
