@ Taintie: That.sucks. Really. Feel better soon!

Don't you just hate people who brag about everything? Or people who say they tried committing suicide simply for the attension? Or people who have life handed to them on a silver platter and then complain about getting a cold when there's a girl at my school who might die of cancer? I have someone like that, and I'm really starting to get sick of her.

@Taintie, feel better, dear.

@theluckynames, I also get frustrated at people who are braggarts or lie about things such as committing suicide though be careful with the comments about people who have life handed on a silver platter and complaining with things. I think everyone has a right to feel different things, sorrow included, or complain, as long as they can be sympathetic toward those in need. Then again, I guess that one's kinda more a reflection since I lost a lot of "friends" because they said I tended to complain when I had it easy because I have a great education and did have a pretty good shot at the Olympics--I countered that because I worked my butt off every single day so I could get scholarships, or worked jobs to make money so I could compete, etc. so just as long as the person is able to have sympathy maybe let that one slide. Though on that note, I am very, very, very sorry about the girl at your school with cancer.



For once, things are going extremely well for me. The biggest downside today is my back being in a lot of pain because of ballet in jazz shoes (long story), and realizing the huge scholarship I was nominated for was only a 50% one which my mentor told me not to bother unless there was a shot at 100% so that's disappointing. Other thing is stupid but that best friend of mine I've been fighting with a lot, well, I miss her and kinda am realizing most of what we had in common was through RPing, of which she decided she didn't want to do anymore (which is fine), but in that we don't really have anything to talk about, fight all the time, and well, kinda getting the impression that she doesn't want to be friends with me anymore and that's her way of trying to ease her way out of the friendship without telling me. Granted, I'm also annoyed at her that she pretty much plagiarized most of my OkCupid profile including all these books she said were her favorites but she never even read and she got TONS of dates while I only met three people, one of which I, embarrassingly, realized I actually already knew. I've also decided that I need to just not crush on people.

My exam today was... horrid. I couldn't answer half of their questions, they really had to drag the answers out of me, and I nearly started crying during the exam, because I felt so very very stupid. I cried when they sent me out while they debated over my grade. I couldn't stop crying, so I was crying when I came back in to get my grade, and I fell apart several times afterward.

So stupid.

I got a fairly good grade, though. The Danish grade system (which makes no sense whatsoever) goes like this: -3, 00, 02, 4, 7, 10, 12. -3 and 00 are both fails, 4 is average, 7 is still average, but to the good side, 10 is very good, and 12 is great.

I got a 7. Which is a good grade, really. I really wish I'd gotten a 10, but I knew before starting the exam that that wasn't going to happen, so 7 is fine.

Anyway, it's all over and done with now, and I passed, so whatever, not gonna think more about it.

You're done! I'm sorry you had a rough time during the exam itself, but it sounds like you came away with good marks. Now you can breathe. Just relax. ^_^ I'm about to email you, anyway. =P

Yes, all done. Freedom!! *nods* It's a fine grade, I'm just usually a bit of an over-achiever, going for 10s and 12s. My biology teacher was surprised I "only" got 7, but had it been biology, I probably would've come away with a better grade, because I'm good at that. This stuff... not so much. I ought to be, since it's what I was specializing in, but I am never going to use any of it again, I'm moving on to something new, so whatever. At least my biology teacher said, when I said I felt like a complete idiot, "good thing we know that's not true". I'm still not convinced though. Two people got 12, and two people got 10. And yet he claims I'm the smartest one in my class Oh well.

And yay, looking forward to the email

Ugh, never wash red things with ANYTHING. I thought they'd be fine in a wash with other bright colours and dark jeans and black stuff.

They dyed almost everything. My jeans are all pink on the inside, and my brand new £50 hoodie, which is dark turquoise and new enough that it still ought to be running it's own colours in the wash, not picking up those of others, has pink sploges over it! Gutted. And very very annoyed at myself. From now on all red things get washed apart from any other clothing at all. The thesis of seperating whites and colours does not work. You need to seperate whites, colours and reds!

I hate it when reds bleed. I ended up wrecking a pair of work pants (khakis) when they got washed with a pair of Sam's red over-dyed jeans. Her jeans should have been done bleeding, but apparently not. Oh well. I recently discovered that those pants had a massive hole in the leg from my scanner anyways. Which I realized when I was at work and found a similar, though not nearly as severe, hole in the pants I was wearing. Stupid scanner.

@Moony : Aw hon! I'm sorry things were rough for you, but as Roxanne says, it's all over now, and that sounds like a great grade - Well done! Now relax and go celebrate- you deserve it!

Erynn.... how does a scanner destroy clothing? *confused*

@Belle: I assume she's referring to the scanning guns that retail store workers carry to check inventory, things like that. I hated wearing the belt/holster to carry them, 'cause they're heavy and get in my way, but I never lost my scanner, either. Yeah, I can see how they would rub against your pant leg and wear away a hole. Blargh.
