A Solivagant on the Inselberg
Where's that story I wrote in November????
Okay.....So once of my juniors from my old school follows me on Instagram, and of course I have no clue who she is. I never bothered to socialize with anyone, but I thought it would be rude to decline her request since after all, I studied in the same crappy school as her for years.
Just now, one of her stories was addressed to S saying something that went along the lines 'best senior ever'. That got me thinking, "Who on earth is this girl?!" I'm not surprised she knows S because S knew everyone in that school, but she was my best friend and how come I never even saw this junior's face at school? Ummmm...... Weird me.....
And I still haven't replied to S's comment.....

And my parents are leaving us alone over the weekend...
The truth is I'm so upset that I'm looking for something to do to distract me, but can't find anything.

I'm just mad at myself because of my group. Firstly, a certain member wants to do a story arc where my character accepts help from theirs. However, I don't want to do it because I want things for my character to go completely different. I don't want both of them to be too associated so that mine can focus on the story I have in mind.
Secondly, there are specific characters that I want created by people I can trust and like. People like you guys. That isn't happening, so now I'm worried whether the group will die off before I can even get the plot going.
Thirdly, I'm just annoyed that I'm not able to focus on it at all because of my capricious mood :/

Haha thanks! Aw man... do you ever do peer reviews?
That's what this was. XD I was hoping to get a good reader, but turns out the objective was to pair the people who write too much with the people who forget to do their homework. The first pair announced was me with the person who is quite unreliable with assignments.
It went fine. XD I had no idea why I wasn't assigned to my own teacher, but I suppose I've got to step out of my comfort zone. Basically I went in, she actually smiled as I explained, I offered to put up the flyer, she told me to put it up somewhere, I couldn't find said place because my heart was beating so fast, I finally found it and then she just told me to have a great day and I thanked her. So not too bad!
I have a feeling I would just work reallly hard in her class if I had her.
And now, the ultimate debate of which extra class Alia should take next year: math or history? I'm pretty sure I know what you'll say XD
Alia wrote: "Hallie wrote: "Alia wrote: "Haha that is awesome!!! Hooray for being precise! I've edited two assignments with much to be desired today in English so I'm admiring order right now. The bright side..."
Peer reviews? What's that? I've never heard of that!
Aw... That would certainly have annoyed me!
Oh yay! :D Glad it went well. If that was me, I would have messed it up completely and earned some glares from the teacher, so great job, Alia! xD
I have no clue why you asked me this, but history!!!!!!!!!! :P Hey history is a lot, lot, lot, lot easier than Math!
Uhm... it's when you swap papers with someone else, offer them suggestions, and fix grammar mistakes. Then they can make their assignment better before it's graded. Well, in that class, it was just amusing... Mr. Knox smirked and people laughed. No more of that keeping your bad grades a secret stuff. Poor guy gets laughed at a lot.
When I got to his paper it didn't even meet the basic requirements! And I literally had to force feed words to him, else he wouldn't type anything and just be like 'what?'
Thanks! Come on, no you wouldn't have. If your other strict teachers have an appreciation for you, she would've! And don't say they don't.
Haha! I figured!!! Well I just can't decide because for one, I enjoy math more than history because my teacher for math is nearly as good as Mr. Knox. Even better content-wise. History is just average. However, I do like history and it would serve me better as a writer. The teachers are really good for that class. But all of my most intelligent peers are going the math route, and I could get to calculus sooner...
Sorry for the rant! Have you ever had difficulty making a class decision?
Alia wrote: "Uhm... it's when you swap papers with someone else, offer them suggestions, and fix grammar mistakes. Then they can make their assignment better before it's graded. Well, in that class, it was jus..."
Okay we swap papers and grade for trivial class tests for which no one prepares but we don't have to hand it to the teacher to grade, so I guess I'm not sure whether you could actually consider that. I mean last time I didn't even submit my paper, and other times I had to correct my own papers because everyone refused to take mine so.....
I don't know why, but I feel like sharing this story for some reason xP Forgive me if it's pointless. My brain isn't working at all today. So once my bus didn't pick me up and I had to go to school all by myself and I was late for English. Although my teacher let me in, she was having a mock class test and I missed the literature part of it. I attempted all the grammar part of it and we did do that swap that day. It was mandatory to swap with the person sitting right behind, so I had to swap. The test was out of 20 with 11 literature questions and 9 grammar questions. When I got my paper back, I saw that I had got 9, which is technically a perfect score in my paper because I got all the questions right. But I didn't want to tell my teacher why I didn't get the other 11 marks (and I believe I would have because I knew all the answers to that as well!), so when everyone asked me how much I got, it seemed pretty low when I answered. So stuff like that happen in my classes...
Oh dear! My lab partner in Physics is pretty much the same, so I can understand what you mean.
For some reason, teachers have no patience around me and I definitely am a mess, so I guess not.
Oh no, it's fine! Uh well, I didn't have any difficulty making it, but I definitely screwed up and made the wrong decision.
Career Plans
I need to kill time right now, so let me talk about the plans that I have for my career. I realize that none of them will work, so they are pretty much broken dreams. Anyway,
Plan A - Writer/Journalist/Reporter/Editor/Whatever with writing
Anything, anything with writing - I'm up for it. Even if it doesn't pay a lot, or even if it's just a small job with no much preference, I'd love it. I just want to be associated with writing and English. So that's plan A.
Plan B - Singer
Believe it or not, even with that crappy and as I like to call it, cacophonous voice of mine, I'd still love to be a singer, which is the reason why I post snippets of me singing online for feedback. I've got a lot of songs in my head and my phone, and when I say a lot, I mean I could make two albums out of all the ideas I have. So even if not a band, I could still always go solo if I can work up enough courage and perhaps sound less like a person with no talent in singing. I'd go for acting, too, but I'm an even worse actor so that dream would be a nightmare if it turned true.
Plan C - Detective
I'm a sucker for mysteries and riddles. I've read 58 Agatha Christie books, two volumes of Sherlock Holmes and watched too many detective shows. I just love solving mysteries even though I'm not particularly that good. Riddles are annoying, but I'm not complaining while working them out.
Plan D - Psychologist
It just seems fun and since I'm so interested in psychology, it's not a bad option. However, I'm so screwed up, so how on earth am I supposed to help other people who believe they screwed up their lives?
Plan E - Photographer
Uh you know me and photography. The ideal plan would be full-time writer and part-time photographer, but if it can make me independent, I'd be more than happy to take some photos. Once again, I suck at this as well even though a few girls in my class say otherwise.
Plan F - Doctor
I'm serious! I really don't mind becoming a doctor. I mean even if my parents say no writer and tell me to become a doctor instead, I'd comply because perhaps I could become Robin Cook. But alas my parents are so narrow-minded they don't think being a doctor is any good! I don't know what to say about them! I just like Biology and stuff about blood and digestion and everything doesn't sound that bad to me. And I'd get to save lives. The problem here, though, is that I'm more good so killing people than saving their lives. Also, I don't know whether my approach as a doctor would be good. I'd sound something like:Me: You have x disease.I made one person laugh with this, though xD
Patient: Is that curable?
Me: Well, if we operate you, there is 99% chance you'll survive.
Patient: Yay!
Me: There's still a 1% where you won't survive. So don't be too glad.
Plan 'I Don't Think I'll Ever Do This' - Astronomer
Last year, I was in Physics taking as much interest in the chapter we were doing on astronomy as I would in English class, and my classmates kept asking me whether I wanted to become an astronomer or astrophysicist. It's actually not a bad plan and I like it and my parents won't wholly disapprove of it either (because hey, it's cool and wait I might get a job and 'My daughter's an astronomer!'). However, it's most likely got a lot of complicated Math in it, and even though I love rocket science, I will never, ever, ever like Math. So there goes that dream.
Anyway, so since none of these are ever going to happen, I might as well go back to being my depressed self and well, you know, kill myself before I finish my A levels so that I don't have to take up something mundane and kill myself from dysphoria due to failure then. Oh wait, I'm a failure already, so who cares when I die?

So since my parents are not here, we went out to eat last night. As a side-dish, my brother wanted gravy and I wanted something dry. So we compromised and bought a semi-dry dish. When it arrived, I looked something like:
Not what I had expected!
Then when we tried it out,
Brother: Not bad, right?
Me: I didn't like it.
Brother: It has the taste of tomatoes.
Me: I hate tomatoes.
Brother: Ohhhh!
:/
Seriously why is that dish full of tomatoes????? We are never eating that again.
