This whole day is turning out to be totally fucked up, and I'm afraid I won't get my learner's permit.

[Hallie]

Guess who is learning to drive starting tomorrow! :)

[Hallie]

This is going to be a while big mess....

[[deleted user]]

You can do it.

[Hallie]

Oh yes, I can. I can also run over fifty million pedestrians and crash the car in the most fatal accident.

[[deleted user]]

Ouch.

[Hallie]

Nobody got hurt and the car is intact without a single scratch on it 😅

[Hallie]

Here's the fun part: My instructor was also my mum's instructor. And my dad's instructor. Basically, he taught both my parents, but does not recognize or remember either of them, and now he's stuck with moi.

Alia!!!! How do you always show up whenever I think of you? xD I'm doing horrible even though I've only gone to one class, but hopefully I'll get better. Thanks! That gave a teeny tiny bit of hope.

[Hallie]

Turns out I keep getting worse at driving :/

[Hallie]

My extremely weird uni starts tomorrow, but here I am binge watching Friends because I can't deal with anything right now.

[Hallie]

Results are out....

[Hallie]

And I topped.

[Hallie]

I fucking topped.

[Hallie]

Literally have the highest score.

[Hallie]

You have no idea how shocked I am right now.

[Hallie]

Dang it! This should have come out when my cousin was here.

[Hallie]

My brother went on vacation all by himself, and I'm worried :(

[Hallie]

I don't know what to say each time someone asks me how my results are. They're okay? Better than I expected?

[Hallie]

Like most people are here either confused, or disappointed, while I sit there attempting to be modest.

[Hallie]

Oh cool, it's Christmas!

[kavi ~he-him~]

hallie!!

[Hallie]

Alex!!!!!

Merry Christmas guys!!!

[Hallie]

Merry Christmas, Melody! :)

[Hallie]

Is it funny that I don't even celebrate Christmas, but it's the only holiday I like?

Yeah

[Hallie]

But I'm also star student of the semester in spite of being a fucked up bitch, so not like anyone can say anything without getting killed.

Yep, in different ways.

Good Riddance to Boredom? Or More Boredom?

I just realized I forgot to write about my first day back at uni. I got distracted by results, but mind you I'll be bragging about that again xP

I took the stairs up to my class, which was the worst idea ever. Thank goodness for the new headphones! Just as I reached the last floor, I spotted one of my classmates, who approached me and said that there was no one in our classroom. She asked how my vacation was and I didn't know what to say. Fine? Contemplated dying? Nothing interesting really happened? Felt like shit the whole time? I ended up saying it was fine and I did absolutely nothing; well, later everyone said the same.

So we went to the class along with another classmate and I took out my book to read. Some of the people I usually hang around with came after a while and seeing me reading, said I hadn't changed one bit. Well, what did they expect me to do?

Now here's the only highlight of the whole day, because honestly, it was boring since no one took class as there weren't many. My literature teacher had resigned over the holidays, which is why I was so upset. So we were to meet the replacement, and there were very few who could be as good as her.

Well, turns out we do get the best :) The teacher walked in and said that he would be teaching us not just Literature, but also another class, so that was really amazing. P and I were really hoping he would be available to teach us. Since P would only be coming back tomorrow, I had to text her and tell her the good news.

Anyway, he began to do introductions - my least favourite things to do after presentations. Of course, I messed that up. After that was done, he asked us our new year's resolutions, and when it was my turn, I said that I wanted to read 150 books. Boy, was he impressed! After everyone said theirs, he said that to him, mine was on the top of the list.

That turned into a bad thing, though. He was so impressed that he felt the need to get me to speak up. Someone said that their resolution was to prioritise themselves and their mental health, and he asked the whole class how stress effects us. The first person he looked at was me, and he asked, "Hallie, what stresses you out?" I tried to dodge it and he was explaining to the whole class why he felt that our generation has the worst generation. I thought I had managed to evade the question, but no. "So Hallie, what stresses you out? Gosh, I feel so old saying that even though I'm only like 10 years older than you all. Hallie, tell me. What stresses you out?"

"A lot of things," I said, but he wasn't satisfied with that. "Like?" "Grades." "That shouldn't bother you. That doesn't tear your life." I ended up explaining that my parents are a bit annoying when it comes to this. Continuing the topic, he asked how we de-stress, and guess who asked again. If he couldn't see me (because I was hiding), he'd look in my direction and say, "Hallie, where are you?" The entire class, he kept trying to get me and another friend to interact by calling out our names expecting a response. It wasn't bad, but as introverts, both of us were relieved when he finally left us alone.

The rest of the day at uni was boring because none of my friends were there, and I spent it all by myself in the park. Although in evening, H, S and I chatted through conference, and it was amazing. Turns out there is a lot of drama in H's life. Last year it was my life, so S is afraid now xD The only problem was that my headphones were acting us, so it was around my neck as I held my phone to near ear. I wasn't really talking much, but rather listening, so it looked rather weird because I was rarely talking.

I was forced to end it because of my network when I got home, so I was pretty annoyed. And my brother was leaving, so I decided to give him a week's worth of insults in bulk when I got the message that results were out. When I first opened it, I did not understand a single thing. It was so confusing because we always get to see our answer scripts and scores, but for finals, they add all the internal points and give us the final grade only. I was hoping to see the former. Except I had something weird for my literature grade. My brother ended up consolidating everyone's scores to see if anyone else had it, but nope, I'm the only one.

After a while, I figured out that it was higher than everyone else's. So while the leading toppers had an SGPA of 8.9, mine was 9.1, making it the highest. It was so weird, but I'm extremely proud of that - especially since my parents frown on my majors. Screw you, I'm doing fine in this! :) P eventually texted me saying: 'Hey funeral lady, how much did you get? You must have topped." When I told her what my score was, she began to suspect that I got the highest, so she looked at everyone's score and said that she can't find anything higher than that. That explains why the teacher who left texted me!

But then my mum ruined my mood saying, "In this chaos, you didn't study at all today!" Um Mum, it was the first day, no teacher took any class; I don't have the materials to do anything yet; I fucking topped; cut me some slack. I gave this 'what-the-absolute-fuck-mother' look to shut her up. That's not my only problem. When someone outside this family comes, she will shameless take credit for my achievements, which is what always pisses me off every single time :/

So that's how Monday went. I plan on doing absolutely nothing today so that I can't save my energy and annoy P and F when they come tomorrow, so I might be here talking my usual rubbish a lot today.

[Hallie]

Is it just my phone, or did I type out a bit too much about absolutely nothing in that post?

[Hallie]

Will I graduate?

[Hallie]

I need to drop dead :/

[[deleted user]]

Hmm 🤔

[Hallie]

Somebody deleted their account.

[Deepthi]

Yeah.... Noticed it in my journal too, tbh..

[Hallie]

Candidly, I first noticed it on your journal.

[Deepthi]

xD really?

[Hallie]

Yep xP Don't want to bore you with the details.

[Deepthi]

Go on xDD

[Hallie]

Seriously, it's boring xD I looked at yours one time, then got distracted, then looked at it again, but realized that I didn't get new group notifications for it, and thus arrived at the conclusion that some posts were deleted. Since it didn't look like any of the recent posts were deleted, I clicked the unread button and confirmed that someone had deleted their account since a couple of threads have missing posts.

Oh crap, I did bore you after all xD

[Deepthi]

Ahhh, got it :)

Naahhhh, don't worry XD

[Hallie]

xD

[Hallie]

Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a car to crash in 2 or 3 hours.
