Friday 13th July
Cut for rambles
Today was weird, especially during Sociology.
I was a bit buzzed on caffeine, as I'd been munching coffee beans and drinking Diet Cola all day, so I wasn't really focused on any of my work. I kept just trying to engage Samuels (the teacher) in all sorts of random conversations, and I was all loud and happy. He kept trying to get my focus back on the research I was doing, but even when he threatened to get angry I just smiled and said, "I'm so happy today nothing will spoil my mood." He then asked, "Are you ever unhappy Lisa?"
This completely threw me.
Truthfully, I feel a bit schizo. I feel happy enough, certainly, but then I listen to something like Crying Shame by GET SET GO, and the whole bloody song reflects my mood. I think I'm having a midlife crisis at 17!
"There is nothing that I can say
That would in almost anyway
Express the fustration in my head
I don't want to get out of bed today
I don't want to face another day
Everything is better let unsaid
Because I don't want to get a job
I've stolen all that I can rob
I don't know how I will get by
Something in me thinks
I've had one to many drinks
I spend to much time getting high
What do you do when your done with living
But you are still alive
I don't want to kill myself
But I just can't survive."
Moving swiftly on...
I got to pretty much take the lesson in English today. I'd forgotten my homework, but assured Mr. Bone that I knew it all- then I swerved the conversation round to my volunteer work as a Teaching Assistant for a bit and he told us his experiences of working with little kids. Finally we came back to the lesson and he told me to stand up at the front and explain some of the historical context relating to Measure for Measure (which had been our homework) Then he said I was doing a better job than him at taking the lesson, so I ended up doing most of it (admittedly we were just reading the play, so I didn't have much to do except delegate parts.) Still fun though, I'm gonna miss him when he's gone.
Also getting so excited about the Rock and Blues festival! Apparently there's bets being placed on me for when I throw up- so I expect to have large quantities of alcohol forced down me. Woo for drunken camping!
