Complain about all!

@LacrimosaRaven , get well soon! :TdT:

Your teachers say that you should focus on your friend who's been hurt. I do agree that your friend should know the truth, that someone twisted your words and that you never badmouthed them. But something is bothering me here - why did nobody confront you directly? Why did they all fall for the old "that person said this about you" trick? If at least one person had come to you and said "come here, why did you say this about that person?", everything would have sorted itself out much more easily.

There might be a reason behind what they did though (or another truth you're not aware of). They just reacted with too much haste and didn't give you a chance to speak. Don't do the same mistake with them, try to be the bigger person.

Also, I know it sounds a bit weird, but don't seek revenge from the person who's been badmouthing you. Usually karma sorts out these things for you in a much better way that you'd have imagined yourself. Try to not harm/badmouth/etc anyone, but just foil the plans of the girl who badmouthed you. Did she want you to lose your friends? Well, you just said you made some new friends (Just be careful with them too now!). Did she want you to feel horrible? Pretend you don't care, at least when she is around - you only care about your friend who got hurt, not yourself.

Usually, people who try to harm you for no reason feel inferior and/or threatened by your presence. They most likely shouldn't (from our point of view), but their insecurities are usually too complicated for us to waste time with. Try not to fall into their traps. Try to do nothing wrong on your side, don't reduce yourself to their level, just stand up for who you really are. Soon they'll need to be held accountable for their actions, and that will be the mere consequence of their actions themselves. That's when we grab some popcorn and soda, sit down and relax, and call this "karma".

EDIT: When I was in school and felt frustrated about my classmates, an older friend of mine said "Don't worry about them. One day, you'll be a successful lady and they'll be serving you burgers at McDonald's". It wasn't McDonald's. But we made our life choices ever since we were in school, and those choices made a big difference not long after we graduated.

@yuki.n Thank you.

I was actually looking through old messages way back on the 8th of March when this started. It definitely gave me a new perspective. Reflecting is really important in times like these.

There's a really big storm today. I've been sleeping in because of my cold but according to my mum since about 7 this morning it started and it still hasn't stopped. It's pretty much pouring like crazy and there's really big winds too.

I think it's a good thing though. It barley rained all summer and South Australia in particular has an extremely big water evaporation problem. Essentially water evaporates faster than it can get to filters to be used and then recycled once it goes down the drains again. This is because SA's largest water source (The River Murray) moves really slowly.

There are a bunch of benefits to rain. It's actually been raining a lot these past few days but I've never seen anything like this. I wonder if the Torrens Catchment will overflow? That would be really interesting but it looks really deep so I doubt it would.
 
Colds are so much fun .-.
I've been coughing non-stop and I ache all over. My voice sounds horrible. My nose and ears are blocked. My eyes are becoming bloodshot in an alternating pattern and a kind of hard-ish sleep-like gunk thing is coming out of my eyes now. I literally couldn't open one of my eyes this morning, and it hurts when it forms too, it's like 2 steps away from digging into me.

I'm finally going to the doctor after almost a week.
I swear, why the hell was my body all: THE EYES MUST REACT.
Why couldn't I just have a perpetually running nose like a regular person
 
I was thinking that what you were describing might've been conjunctivitis. Guess my hunch was correct.

I haven't had it personally but I know people who have, it sounds pretty bad. Hope you recover soon.
 
Wow... that sounds bad. Hope you feel better soon.

I found my necklace... but I have been sore today, and then just now I slid on the stairs. We have carpeted stairs and the first few steps curve and I missed the step and stepped into my pajama pants, which are flowy as it is. So then I slid down a bit, but in the meanwhile hitting my head against the wall and scraping my knee. It was already hurting today, oy. I need to be wrapped in bubble wrap, seriously.
 
I am really scared about everything college and life itself basically if i don't pass this semester i may get kicked out and i swear i really worked this semester but still i don't want to upset people and people to hate me and this summer feels like things are gonna get worse some how i really don't want everything to change to because i feel so happy where i am right now. i know i should say sorry but i can't help it on here i am not used to saying how i feel and this is just a summary basically because i hate saying everything at once or i just can't.

Same, I have a habit of tripping over everything too. Once I missed a step on some stairs and like anime style fell on my face. Thankfully I was fine. Tripping is just a major inconvenience, sometimes I stumble on the most tiny uneven bump in some paving.

The doctor told my mum to get some antibiotic drops. After working over my fear of putting stuff near my eye I put in the drops like the doctor said and it's clearing up really well. My eyes don't look red and the gunk is way less intense too.

@Corpse Princess Welcome back and good luck in College. Try your hardest and take things one step at a time. :idol:
 
@Corpse Princess welcome back!! :) Don't feel stressed about college, because if you feel stressed you're just performing worse AND making it worse for your health. Just try your best. If that wasn't enough, there's nothing to be sorry about, you tried your best but just couldn't.

@LacrimosaRaven glad you're feeling better! Conjunctivitis can be very annoying, especially if you use contact lenses (like I used to). I had it for a whole summer once, until I could finally get rid of it, but then I wasn't allowed to use contact lenses for a month!

@Liana_Ilia owch! Hope you stop hurting!!

I fell off the bike yesterday and now my knee is hurting. It was a silly fall, there was a ramp with a tiny gap in front of it, and instead of going vertically like a normal cyclist, I tried going very diagonally - kaboom. This morning I couldn't walk or cycle normally :desksweat:
 
Lacrimosa: Yeah, I slipped on the same stair the day before we went to Vegas. I bruised my tail bone, so it was not fun sitting on the plane for 3 hours. Plus I just run into things. Like yesterday I kept hitting my funny bone (which I have no idea why they call it that) and then I smacked my arm against the bathroom sink. Yeah... such a clutz. heh And I have been having balance issues because of my feet. I have a lot of feet issues, so it hurts to walk on them and at times I step wrong and lose my balance. Luckily I can get it back without falling over though. I've almost done it though.
 
@Liana_Ilia Balance is a pain sometimes.

I had my first practise for the school's Preforming Arts Festival (PAF) today. Firstly I had to talk to a teacher so I was 10 minutes late and sat on the wrong side (not that there was much of a pitch difference)

The Alto side (or what is called Side B since things tend to figure themselves out on harmonies other than register) sound like zombies. Not only this but their harmonies are absolute Pegasus dung. Anytime their's a harmony a note is just held, and it's absolutely mind numbingly boring. Where side A gets note variation side B gets one note. I guess there's a reason people always go to the Alto side in choirs, you don't have to try. Where it's untrue in a choir it's absolutely true here and it's upsetting. Altos are important to choirs and both our coordinators this year don't seem to get it at all. They don't support, they clash.

Did i mention they sound like zombies? because side B sound like zombies. They have one note in all the harmonies and it sounds flat and dull. No one is trying, no one is smiling to make the pitch sound brighter. The coordinators don't care either, they never told them to smile once, only to sing louder. BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY WHAT EVERY CHOIR NEEDS IS LOUD ZOMBIES WITH ONE NOTE! OBVIOUSLY.

I was so close to putting my hand up and saying something. I swear if I don't sit on Side B we're gonna loose again and everyone's gonna get butthurt. I need to smile even if no one else will.
 
I can tell I've gotten worse at drawing because I've fallen out of practice. Now it's annoying because I have to re-learn all the basics (which will take a while), and it doesn't really help that my hand isn't exactly the most steady in the world. I know I drew my profile picture, but that was about the last thing I've drawn in a long time (I think it was in February). I'm hoping that I can draw more this summer, but I have a PE/Health class during June from 7-4, so I don't know how much time I will have. Hopefully I'll have more time in July, and put more time into it overall next school year since I'm taking an art class.
 
So there was a presentation for Generations of Jazz which is a thing my school attends every year. It's a singing workshop but as per usual only the kids in band get asked to go and I'm not confident enough to be in band but I really wanna go. I think the entire music department hates me for some reason.

But I swear, if I could've taken music for the whole year instead of drama and music for the year I could've been in a better position to be picked. Seriously. Screw the school and it's low interest. Music has low interest to begin with and their are dedicated students who want to learn the subject for a whole year. (such as myself and about 3 others)

They should be forced to give classes to students who want them. Fees are over $10,000 They can afford it.
