absolutely insane describes today perferctly for me. It started out pretty normal... woke up, showered, got dressed, and left for Habitat. When we got there we were pretty much left to work and there was no one to supervise us. They let us be on ladders and use powertools today so that was pretty exciting, but we had to undo and redo a bunch of the roof work that the burris people had messed up on the day before. I was doin pretty well until i had a hammer dropped on my leg. After that my day pretty much went down hill. Someone started talkin to me later and i wasnt payin attention so i walked straight into a ladder. Then if that wasnt enough i had my head closed in the truck door and that left a nice little bump. I didnt even paint today but somehow i ended up with paint all over my arms and my clothes so that was another pair of jeans ruined.
Anywayz i finally got to leave habitat and come back to shower. Now usually showers are nice and relaxing but deffinetly not today. I was already in a bad mood and then i get in the shower and have no hot water. So im mad and i just want to get the paint off and get out. Well that would be too simple, instead someone else decides that they would like to shower at three in the afternoon and not only did they take what littel warm water i had they sang loud and off key.
by this point im like well my day cant get much worse ill just look at the bright side adn pretend to be happy. and this technique worked pretty well throughout practice. I threw pretty well and i enjoyed myself. After practice i had to turn in some library books, but to get to the library to turn these books in i had to walk through a construction zone. A ball state police officer saw me and starts talkin to me bout how i can get in so much trouble and how dangerous it is to be in construction zones. I finally ditch the cop and turn in my books so to get back to the academy i have to walk through the atrium so that i dont walk through the construction zone. As i am innocently cutting through the atrium i run into an slc who decides to tell me that i shouldnt be out alone and how i could get abducted and raped and all this other crap.
I finally make it back to the academy and as soon as i am in the door i am being banished to my room that i am grounded to. at this point i am just kinda laughing at how horrible my day has been and still telling myself that it cant get much worse. Well that was a lie. it got worse. The slc's made sure that i was in my room. They would send a different person to check on me or they would call to see if i would answer. I hadnt eaten all day and i couldnt go get anything to eat so i decided to make my own food, but that didnt go over well cause i lit my microwave on fire. There were really flames commin out of it. I thought it was pretty funny. In fact i laughed before i even put the fire out. It smells pretty rank but other than that there wasnt much harm done.
So i go to clean up my mess from the microwave and i get everything all cleaned up and dried and im carrying it back to my room when i drop glass and shatter it all over the hallway. Now i have no microwave and drinking cups for the rest of the year, which basically means i dont eat or i resort to ds food.
my fish is sick
My mom called tonite to tell me that they are still gonna go to cali this summer and they are gonna go to my sisters graduation but that they aren't gonna take me cause they dont want me to miss school. but they dont have a problem with my younger siblings who are failing out of school missing. so that just topped off my wonderful nite. while my family is basking in cali with the rest of my extended family having a grand old time i will be sitting here at the academy wishing i could shoot myself and end it all. i cant wait until i graduate and finally get out completely. i am so ready to be away from everything.
but i guess its dayz like this that make me relize how good i really have it. I look back on today and dont wish that any of it hadnt happened. struggle makes you stronger. dayz like this make the good dayz seem so much brighter. so although today was a rough day i guess its life and i can deal with it. and now that i sit here and look back on this day i cant help but laugh. honestly i went all year without my jank microwave blowing up and thats pretty fortunate.
