Song I'm listening to: N.E.R.D. "Things are getting better"

MMmMMm.... Things ARE getting better... in my life. A bit of grey overcast with some scattered showers.. but YES I have recovered.

The past couple weeks have been nothing but stress, for many reasons. The more major one being School, s.b.a.s and labs to be exact. (SBAs being school based assessment projects and labs.. umm write-ups on experiments in Science subjects.. i do Bio). Most of the S.B.A.'s were due last week, deadline being Friday. WELL ofcourse you know students are students... it's our duty to procrastinate and toe the line with deadlines.... Mr. Abe knowing us so well, informed us that we cant even do the usual beg for Monday or Tuesday or Wednesday, BeCaUsE the marks HAVE to be in be THIS Friday and he already has Computer SBA's to mark... so he threatened not to mark it. period. If it's not in by 2 pm sharp.

Last week
...Thursday evening, till 1 am - labs, 6 more to go
...Friday morning, 7:30 am till about half past 12 - skulling every class on the schedule - STILL doing labs. Thankfully... i completed them :)

Then one would expect that being the last terms before the biggest exam, SBAs and Labs would be the only thing stressing me. BUT no... things must never go that smoothly...

Imagine, Monique and I are not friends now... not even breaking voice with each other but drama still coming up. First of all, let me say, since the break up her grades have gone from nearly average and to barely scratching a 60 percent average... if so much. Geography, is one of her good subjects. She has the possibility of getting a distinction in it (a 3 A profile)... But her father, due to his silent beef with me can't leave story so. He informed her that she could drop the subjects. HEH.. Everyone knows there's no love lost between her father and me and my mum... So after much brainwashing and what not - she dropped it, and was quite rude about it.

Ofcourse, being who she is. She couldn't just quit and end of story... NOOO.. she had to MAKE it something more than it is... Not only did she go tell everybody, but she added a lil' juice to it here and there... Next morning, it had reached Kennedy and he came to me and was like "Shell, what's this I'm hearing about Monique dropping Geo? And her saying something about you and your mom not liking it.. bleh bleh bleh etc etc"... Ofcourse, the whole situation just amuses me, so i did just that. I laughed and said that she did quit but that's as far as i know, that he'd have to ask her about whatever else. Then Mickey told me that Monique said "It's not the mother i don't like, it's Shellon"... puh-leaseeeee.... RIGHT! You're hurting me so bad that i'm going to go kill myself because you dropped out of Geo. *scoff*

Then in class, *sigh* stressss... as usual, my classmates carried on with the teacher bashing but this time, they targetted my mum and made sure that i heard. *sigh* The things they do to get a reaction from me... That's what annoys them, they can't get me to react... I just ignored then and kept on doing my labs. I'm happy they have so much free time on their hands to laze around and be idle.. I hope it gets them the grade they want.

Being part of a small school on a small island, you know story don't done so... Teachers and all have to get a piece of the action. Mrs. R asked Monique to do the teacher write up for the yearbook on Geo. HAH. She knows the situation. She knows that there are plenty issues there. She knows that the whole class knows that. But no... she MUST ask Monique.. (Yes, Monique still ended up back in geo). That stirred up comments and snide remarks... and to add insult to injury she asked "who else in the class owed money for the rings, except for me because i'm not taking one." Was it really that necessary to point out all that? I'm not taking one? *sighs* these idle people... That stirred up more questions... The rings are cumpulsary for the graduates but the thing is not that i'm not taking one... it's that i'm getting it from Guyana.. 14 carat instead of their overpriced 10 carat gold rings... But did she say that..? No.. why? Because she knows how the students would react. Tuesday said she didn't want one and there was this huge arguement between her and Mrs. R over it and in the end she ended up having to buy it... So to the students that looks like.. "Oh, she's the teachers daughter so she could get away with it. SEE.. look at how unfair it is... Tuesday has to buy one against her wishes but NOO because it's Shellon..etc etc" But... I'm not affected by such either..

Then yesterday Mrs. R was showering praises on me... I think i should be worried because it seems like she's observing me too much... One must be wary of the spotlight.

Well mum found out about that little (ok.. not so little, infact huge) event that Mickey got herself into...
