Yeah, I haven't updated since, well, Sunday.
I kind of feel guilty for not updating as much as I used to. It's not that I haven't had anything to write about, trust me, a lot has happened for me to write about. However, at the time I was not very happy about what was going on. And at the risk of sounding whiny, and like a complete Holden Caufield, I decided not to post and wait it out.
So, what happened to me this week consisted of one big misunderstanding after another.
On Monday, 4/20, during Shakespeare class I was called out by the hall monitor and told to go to the main office. This was not a promising sign. The only time anyone ever gets called out of class to go to the office it is for one of two reasons; They are in danger of failing and being left back or they skipped a class.
I, certainly not failing any of my classes and having not skipped anything, had no idea what the heck was going on. So, I did what the hall-monitor told me, packed my backpack, and went down to the office . I was then informed that I was written up for 3 skips in gym and now had to serve 9 detentions.
I never skipped anything.
Thus, angry, fuming (and not in the happy 4/20 sort of way), me ended up going home, and staying home on Tuesday because I could not will myself to go to school.
On Wednesday I served the first of my 9 detentions. Which was funny because when you are in detention the hall-monitors automatically assume you are dumb. They give you this condescending, 'you're a smart kid don't let yourself down' speech and it skims on repulsive.
During detention I ended up getting this speech after making a comment that went along the lines of "Yeah, when people try to argue with me I just agree with them, what more can they do? If someone tells me I'm stupid, I say "Yup, you are absolutely right" because if you agree, what more can they say?". In response the hall monitor turned around and gave me the condescending ' you're smart kids you just make bad choices' statement which I backed up with "Yeah, I know I'm smart, last quarter I had a 93 in calc.". This promptly caused her to turn completely silent and leave the room.
Just because I have detention does not mean that I make bad choices or that I'm an underachiever.
It turns out though, after having a conversation with my gym teacher, that I, in fact ,did not skip. She accidentally wrote me up instead of my friend, which I find silly because my friend is a good 4 inches taller than me, has purple hair and is half Indian. Apart from both of us being female, we look nothing alike. In other words, I got myself out from under the bus by unintentionally throwing my friend under the bus, oh well.
And yet another update, my school actually sent me a letter of apology for that detention. I may have it framed. It was hysterical.
Also apparently my social security number did not notify my college that I am a U.S citizen, so now I have to find some other proof for them. That's what passports are for.
By the way,yesterday went to school with this hair:



I basically did it just for 'shits and giggles' I suppose. I needed a break from my routine.
The funniest thing that happened yesterday was: I was walking down the hall and I heard someone call my name. I turned around and I see a group of girls, some of which were in my business law class last year. I looked at them, waiting to see if they had something to say, because I could have sworn that they called my name. But after 3 seconds it became apparent that they did not, in fact, call my name, so I turned around to go on my merry way.
Unfortunately one of the girls in the group suddenly shouted to the other one "Hey, that girl was just starring at you..." Suddenly I had a bunch of raging cheerleaders behind me shouting at me to come back. I Turn back and apologize, telling them "I thought one of you said my name, I'm sorry, I must have heard wrong."
For some odd reason this did not please them and they started shouting something incoherently at me. I didn't particularly care what these vapid sophomore girls had to say to me, and I'm not enough of an idiot to get into a fight over nothing, so I just left.
After that incident, I made it to the library and I stayed there for the rest of me free time. However, once the bell rang and students began to filter out, I found myself, once again, in a close proximity to those sophomore girls.
As I gathered my things these cheerleaders pretty much sneered in the most sarcastic voices they could muster "Nice hair." as though it was the most offensive thing they could say to me.
I mean really? On that day I looked like a Rastafarian alien. I was well aware I looked weird and anyone with half a brain would have known I did it on purpose. I mean do people actually take themselves that seriously that they can't even laugh at their own appearance? I don't, and I don't think others should either, especially the girls who go to school wearing leggings and a t-shirt... How can THEY take themselves seriously, they are going around pant-less, in public.
