A Solivagant on the Inselberg


School On A Saturday
Read the title, then join me say what the heck?!?! Seriously? Seriously? And, of course, this one had a Biology practical exam. English literature, oh English literature! I haven't met you, but I miss you already!
Anywho, after all the curses, we dragged ourselves there. One of my juniors had a Biology exam too, but she forgot her dissection kit. As hers was after lunch and mine just before, she took my number to call me during lunch so that I could give it to her.
The first period was Math. All the teacher did was scream because no one was listening to her as we were all studying. She even confiscated one book, but that person was stupid enough to not be discreet. Iz and I were helping each other and we both had different subjects! The next hour, which was supposed to be Zoology, was taken by our Irish teacher and she let us study because the entire class had gone mad. Me? I was scratching my hands! If not for my obsession to keep my nails short, I'd probably have cut open more than just skin. Really need to stop doing that. And that was when this girl gave me a heart attack by saying that we don't have a break, and half of us need to go to the lab at 9:30 - before Irish ends! I was counting on looking at the pictures of some specimens on H2's phone because I didn't see them, but crap! I knew I was going to fail this one.
The teacher let us go at 9:20, and after a while, everyone assembled there, and the exam began. I thought I identified the pictures wrongly and ended up confirming whether I was right in the middle of the exam. We also had to do mitosis and another slide preparation, which was decided by picking lots. I was about to pick one, but the paper happened to be thin and I could see what was written on it, and I didn't want that one, so I picked something else - T.S. of ovary. It's pretty simple. All I had to do was take a flower's ovary, cut it transversely, put a cover slip on and focus it under the microscope. I did mitosis pretty fast, too, while everyone was still in their first experiment. There was also testing the pH of solutions, which I'm not sure if I did right, but everyone kept asking me for the answers. As if I know! I'm no pro at this, people! I got some really strange values......
So while waiting for the teacher to take my Viva, I decided to focus my slides. I was doing the first one when she called out asking who else needs to finish their viva. She saw me focusing and told me that I could finish and then go to her. I was still doing when another teacher, who doesn't actually take class for us and was helping out this teacher because she's heavily pregnant, came and shooed me away and saw checked my slide. She then deducted a mark for no reason! Excuse me, but that was like the simplest slide ever and she fucking deducted marks for no reason! Why, teacher, why?! She did the same for almost everyone!!!!!! -_-
As soon as I finished that, I went to the pregnant teacher for the Viva. I had no clue what she would ask, but it turned out..... Here's what happened:
Teacher: So *looks at name on the sheet* Hallie, what are locules?
*silence*
This was taught last year, and I can barely remember what was taught one minute ago. I almost gave up answering, but some part of me tried.
Me: The ovules are arranged in segments called locules.
Teacher: *impressed face* Good! You've written axile placentation here. (I half thought I wrote it wrong.) Name two other kinds of placentation.
Once again, last year's portions that I don't remember.
*silent thinking*
Me: Uh marginal placentation. (I don't know how it came to me, but it came!)
Teacher: Yes, good.
Me: Ummm...... Free central placentation?
Teacher: Good! What are the symptoms of amoebiasis?
This one I knew, so I answered more than she asked. She was pretty impressed and gave me full four marks even though she asked only three questions :) I then had to focus my other slide to show mitosis, but that stupid helper teacher deducted one more mark for no reason. The entire batch hates her because apparently I'm not the only one angry. Our actual pregnant teacher would never have done that!
Well, in any case, it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. She left us like super early and told us we could have our break and later go to the library. We ended up hanging out at the canteen, where I bought a cup of tea and called Mum because I was bored and wanted to rant about that teacher. And we had an hour and a half to spare. I didn't really have much money to buy anything else, and she kept pointing out that I should have taken the money. Then she told me that my brother wanted to go to some exhibition, but he has a cold, and that if the driver asked for money, tell him that Dad was going out of town till Tuesday.
Wait a minute! What?!?!
I never knew Dad was going out of town! I was shocked when she said that he was going out today. When did any of this happen?!?! She said she told me, but I never knew!!! What the hell!!??!?! H2 heard me and asked me what happened after I finished the call, and I had to explain. Then she got preoccupied talking to someone else, and I was left alone. However, another friend saw me alone and came over to keep me company. How sweet! I was talking to her and that's when I realized that she was Welsh! How?! What?! I never expected that, and she didn't expect me to be Welsh. We both thought we were the only ones not knowing about each other even though we see each other a lot.
Then the junior came in the lunch break for the kit, and after a while, we went back to class. Now I'm stuck here for another 40 minutes with a Math teacher screaming about integrals and students not knowing what crap she is talking about :/


Like imagine me turning 90 and dying of old age! It's literally impossible. Have you seen the way I walk? I'm surprised I haven't been hit by a moving vehicle.

DO IT

WHO IS THIS PERSON?! DID YOU FIND OUT THEIR GODLY PARENT?

Well, I was in the backseat as usual, and the driver was checking whether everyone who was supposed to come were in, and suddenly a junior I almost never associate with said, "Hey what about Hallie?" Like whaaaaat? I did not expect anyone to be bothered whether I came or not, but there she was, willing to wait a few extra minutes if I wasn't there.
It could be because yesterday, her class and mine switched rooms for two hours, and when we were switching back, I saw her and smiled (kind of. Hey I tried!) while waving.

WHO IS TH..."
IDK I DIDN'T ASK!! I'm too shy to ask.

That sounds like me...


To be honest, I don't want to go home because I know my mum will keep nagging me, but I don't want to stay here because even though I'm studying, I'm feeling really depressed.

Just leave already!
