Today, I'm gonna try this interesting experiment. Let's see if I can write a normal-lengthed entry. (I'd bet you ten bucks I can't, but hey it's all in the confidence! Ok already wasting precious space and energy......shoot.)
I just wanted to write about my incredible last two days. To those of you who've been keeping up with my writing (somehow....you all deserve some kind of eloge - and in fact you're getting quite a lot of people, although not so many of you comment in here and - BAM! there goes more of the precious space and energy. If I'd made that bet I'd be rich soon enough), you know I've been having a sad-time lately.
Anyway, it all changed just yesterday. Everything went my way and I'm becoming really fast at learning French verbs - maybe I'll be able to sleep next week even though there's this test, that'd be just fabulous.
And today was even more of a great day. To ensure the shortishness of my entry I'll just list them:
1. J, our French teacher, the one I was so fascinated by (in a weird way) before, has been making us stay a couple of three hours extra every week for this French project. I hate it. And I don't like him - the least - because he's gross. He's quitting!!! biggrin
2. C and N, two girls who were in the same French project group as I, have been really angry with me because I haven't been able to show up at all these extra sessions with J. They've been really angry, and treating me that way for the last weeks, too. Today, C apologized and said that she really didn't want me to think she's a b***h and she'd been acting stupid and all. Gosh that made me happy.
3. My dad's been acting stupid, too. He's refusing to help my mum (and me, I might add, I'm actually contributing quite a lot) to pay for my school trips to France etc. because "he doesn't support travelling". (What?! It's for studying, dad!). Anyway this put me in a very akward situation, seeing as I'd already filled out all the forms for joining the trip. (That's a mistake I won't be making again). The only way I could possibly get out of it was to bring an excellent reason, and well I had one: I can't pay. So I told the girl that's responsible for this trip - a student, called A - about my situation. And she just had to repeat the phrase "you can't pay" at least five times for the rest of our conversation, really loudly, making sure everyone had gotten that. So, well, I haven't been all too crazy about her either, lately.
THE GOOD PART: Then today, in the ladies room - we happened to be there at the same time - she was being surprisingly open about how her tampon had just gotten stuck and how bad it'd hurt (I can only imagine!!!) to try and pull it out, and she said she was so easily hurt in that area, she'd probably be the world's oldest virgin.
So now she's let me in on a weakness of hers, too, I figured, so we're even.
BOTTOM LINE: I like everybody - and the one I don't like is quitting his job and going back to France - and everybody likes me. Like a big happy family and all. Good. I'd been so angry about how I was being treated in school lately.
Now; all good.

Ok, it wasn't that long. What, it wasn't!!
