Whats the downside of your day?

[Ammer]

Ok, I think I might have a winner (no pun intended)...

Today I come to school and walk into my health class. No one is talking, and good reason for. The chair on the far side of the class room is empty. This girl named Heather, who I new quite well committed suicide this past week with a friend by walking in front of a train. And if emotions aren't running high enough, we had a huge fight in the cafeteria today and (it's gets worse) at the end of the day I learned that a kid got his finger chopped off in Tech Ed. In case you wanted to know more about my friend who was killed, if you haven't already, there is an article link below with all the details.

That's horrible. I wish all the best to her family and you. I'm lucky to have never gone through that and I hope I won't.

On a more light-hearted note, Grad pics are in a few weeks and I look like crap. I have to go and get a nice haircut, fix my face, fix my teeth, argh, I have so much to fix. I should just get plastic surgery.

mongoose, I'm so sorry. But I guess, we all have to go through these things in our lifetime. I had the misfortune of having my cousin commit suicide, and it was difficult to believe at first, but well... these things happen, that's all I can say...

Today, my worst part was when I was reading this christian site about homosexuality, and they say that it's caused if you can't "find your masculinity", and that it can also be "cured". I'm not against Christians, but I'm just against people like that who jump to assumptions without knowing anything about the topic. Things like these make me so mad.

I think it could have been my philosophy test results ...

This is my first year of philosophy, so they're nothing to be proud of.

Getting just below par in Math. Got a 79 on my last test (which I thought I did well in), which pulled my mark down from an 86.8 to an 83.3. An A is 86...or in my terms, 85.5. Almost no chance of recovering the mark by the end of the term, unless my teacher counts today's open book pop "quiz" as something that'll bump me at least 2.2%. But hey, my failure was my fault, so I really can't blame my teacher or the term or the lack of marks to count from.

This being my first academic B (academic not including PE, that is), it's a bit of a bummer, also especially cause it's math, which is usually or at least used to be one of my stronger suits. I don't know whether I'm devastated or just sucking it up, it's a new feeling. O_o

I think I failed my Chinese test today ^_^

As if my hair didn't look bad enough already, my blowdryer decided to self-destruct this morning (sparks, burning smell, dead) when I was only halfway through drying my hair. >_< I see it as a bad omen for the day.

I guess the downside was not writing my biology test today AGAIN.

Now I have to stay after school again some other day.

Rrgh. I didn't do so well on my geometry test.

[VeraX]

I missed the bus.

[Trick]

I have terrible back pain which I was hoping would be gone by today. And I found out my lecturer wrote over all my files on the server at uni that I created in my test yesterday, so now I have to hope my tutor will let me do them again. Just... grargh!

My earphones died. It makes me sad.

[Xerophyte]

Everything seemed wrong and stupid today. Bleh.

My CD player broke.

Snow!

We got snow on November 18th ...

My downside? Going to work, dealing with work/boss, working. It just seemed to drag on and time went by so slow.
