I don’t know if this was the same person who asked me to do a room tour but I promise I’ll try to do it this weekend or some time next week.

Doesn’t matter if my social life becomes non-existent. I must be better than the rest.

I think it happened Tuesday night.

My mother found out that my sister had lost her house keys and somehow, that ended up with me crying and wanting to kill myself for my issues while wishing I was a more compassionate person, instead of this cold bfjps that I am.

She told us that everything in our house could get stolen, and that she has to change all the locks again, and some other things. To be honest, that key had been lost several months ago, and I think if someone wanted to nick something from our house, they would have done it already. Then again, they might just be ‘waiting for the right moment’.

I don’t know, but it all sounds highly implausible to me. Obviously, I didn’t tell that to my mother as she listed all the possible negative scenarios.

So, Wednesday. My friend was swearing at somebody. I thought the way her fingers were positioned were really odd, and I stuck out my middle finger as well, sorting my fingers the same way as she did and mindlessly stared at it for I don’t know how long.

‘Excuse me?’ said our Science teacher, who saw it all. I wasn’t told off and he wasn’t mad. It’s one of those things which you know is bad for your reputation but is funny.

And in PE, people finally recognised how good I am at running. Our teacher suggested I join Athletics club but I prioritise after-school Science revision classes more.

I’m tired.

‘Does anybody have my dictionary?’ asked this girl.

I heard it, but was too busy doing my Maths homework during Spanish and mindlessly shoving my other stuff in my bag. And then I looked inside and found that I had hers, because I had two dictionaries. I pulled it out and gave it back, apologising.

Me: Oops.

(I am sorry, but I came across that girl’s photo on Facebook and I liked it so much that I felt compelled to use it here.)

After school, I stayed for the Science revision session. On the bus on my way home, this guy went to the seat in front of me and introduced himself, extending out his hands to shake mine. He then asked my name, and I didn’t say anything, uncertain how else to respond at his attempt to make me laugh since he knows me and keeps speaking to me online. It was pretty awkward.

Oh, and in ICT, my friend was on the computer while everybody else was stood up. The teacher called her, and she responded, ‘Here, sir’, not realising he wasn’t doing the register, but commanding her to stand up. When she did, she said, ‘Oh’. While I was trying to subdue my laughter, she kept pulling her middle finger at me.

Today, the whole Year 9 group visited a university today. Many of the students who went there said that they’ve had the best time studying there.

Wonder if it will be the same for me once it’s my turn.

My expectations were pretty high but the experience wasn’t too memorable. Everything became automatically unexciting as soon as they placed us in groups without my friends in it. It forced me to be flexible, which I know will be useful in the future, but there’s a reason why I’m crossing out jobs that require too much communication.

The most interesting part was when we finally went around the university. There’s this girl who apparently goes there every weekend, so she probably wasn’t as impressed as me, but I thought it all looked incredible. My school was immensely tiny compared to it.

My jaw dropped when I saw their library that has seven floors. That and their book store are one of the primary reasons why I want to study there after sixth form. But I also want to get far away from here, though. Like, study in or eventually move to London (or someplace else where one can bump into celebrities often, really), but I think that’d be too daunting.

That just reminded me of how intimidating I find entering adulthood is.

Anyway, we were told about the spiral there; it was initially a fountain, but since they have a night club and students get foolishly drunk and some have drowned in it, they simply turned it into a random spiral in the middle of a huge space.

I remember the student ambassador telling us, ‘It’s like a reminder of how stupid people can be when drunk.’

We took advantage of the blue sky and the sun and drove to the seaside in the afternoon. Naturally, we ate at a fish and chip restaurant. When I rose from my seat, my peripheral view picked up the old man who was looking at me. I glanced at him and got the impression that he was rather unfriendly.

At the time, all I thought was, ‘What? Never seen a hot person before?’

Back at home, my sister was there. Today was her first time to hang out and prove to us that she has a social life. She went to town with some friends and bought two nice bags.

It reminded me of when it was my first time to go out alone. I and my friend were ordering food from Subway; we had no idea what to order because we both just get our mothers to do it for us. I also bought two tops which I have never worn because they actually looked awful on me, but I hadn’t bothered to return them.

Yeah, that wasn’t a fun experience, to be quite honest.

This Friday, I’d like to go with a friend to town but I think I would be committing social suicide if we pass by Waterstones or some other book store and I wind up staying there to read for hours, treating it like a library.

I felt slightly cross by the end of our RE lesson. The reasons are: 1) I dislike group work because I can’t control other students like puppets and lead them to semi-perfection. It’s such a pain watching people who misspell words often and do not know when to capitalise letters or add correct punctuation create a PowerPoint Presentation, and 2) I dislike myself for being secretly inflexible and dissatisfied when working with others.

In Spanish, our teacher didn’t even realise she had been teaching us French until one of us told her. After that she tried to help our memorising skill by making us remember ten random words. One of them was, ‘tube of Smarties’, but with her wee Scottish accent I thought she told us, ‘chibasmarties’.

Bizarrely, the English weather wasn’t unpleasant today. The sun was out and I suggested to my friends to have a staring contest with it. Nobody bit the idea. I thought it was an amusing idea then, but clearly it’s retarded because the sun has no eyes to shut. And other reasons, too, I know.

In PE, we had to run so many metres and try to get as close as we can to the specified number of seconds. Only then have I realised that it is difficult for me to run slowly.

Still, I’ve tried my best to run as slow as I could and was the ~*star student*~ of the lesson. Better than achieving nothing.

And I’m just throwing this out here: for girls there should be two types of toilets. One that technically isn’t, with only mirrors for those who think having a beehive sitting on their heads is attractive, take a lot of their time back-combing their hair, and block the fronts of sinks and other spaces. Then, another one for those who actually need to pee.

I got you.

What do you mean, ‘fashion suicide’?

I decided I didn’t want to grow out my fringe so I cut it the other day. No big deal.
