Two days ago, I had a dreadful day. Honestly, a bad day! This is how it went: I woke up in the morning and I looked to my right and then my life, just kidding. So I had classes from 8 till 1, I went to school hungry because I’m not a breakfast person and at lunch I was in the cafeteria with friends and I decided to treat my self, so instead of buying a little snack or sandwich, I decided to buy this big meal. I bought pasta and it had some sort of Italian vegetable sauce on it, believe me when I say that it tasted like puke on a plate. I know it is completely horrible to say that about food, but seriously it was awful. I didn’t eat more then a spoon, and it wasn’t just me (incase we’re judging me and saying that I’m a food-snob). My 7 friends sitting around the table all had a bite, it was awful. Lucky for me, I didn’t have to throw it out, as one of my friends finished it. I went to class and the professor returned my marked paper, the paper I worked on for two weeks, the paper that I got read-proof from two other teachers, the paper that I put my heart into, the paper that I was expecting 101% on, that same paper was returned and I flunked. I have never been the one to get upset over grades, but this really made me mad because I knew I deserved better. Considering this paper was 10% of my grade, I really put a lot of effort into it. After class, which ended around 12:45, I called my Dad to pick me up, but my mom said he was in the bathroom and to call back after few minutes. My friend offered to take me home but me being an idiot declined. I called home again, but my dad was gone out. So I thought let me take the bus, but I avoid taking the bus at any cost, and I haven’t taken one in a long time. I text my brother and ask him when his class is over, he says two. I was supposed to be at an elementary school at two to teach for two hours. Considering that this is a professional paid position, I couldn’t be late without a notice. I missed my bus, I texted my brother and let him know that I would wait for him to be done by two. I called the elementary school and let them know that I would be 10 minutes late, because that is how long it takes to get there from my school. I waited, until 2, then 2:10, then 2:20. I was waiting around from 12:45 until 2:20 to get home. Finally after texting my brother about five times, I gave up and called home and asked my Dad to pick me up. I start walking towards the highway and while I was walking a car drove past me and a boy yelled “YOU MUST BE HOT UNDER THERE”. I understand how it must be a joy to make fun of a ninja looking lady, except maybe this day wasn’t the best to be so stupid. I broke down right on that street and I started to cry, because I am a big fat cry baby. Give me joy, give me anger, give me sorrow and I will always give you tears, big or small. So I cried and I walked until I saw my Dad, got into the car and I didn’t say the word. Inside of me, I was mad, mad that I didn’t have my license because somehow it was my dad’s fault that I couldn’t drive a standard car. I missed my teaching hours because I was so late, I came home and I went to bed. Then just got really mad inside, took a two hour nap and I woke up. My brother came home and said sorry and I just smiled and walked away (so proud of myself). Now I am so motivated to learn this standard stick car, so for two days now. I’ve been driving this difficult machine, and I hope to drive it everyday until I get the hang of it. It is such a pain on your self, why not take the easy way out and buy an auto matic car like 99.9% of the population.
Beside the car issue, I’m working on this thing, where I don’t blast off when I’m angry. We call “self-control”!
So cheers to day one!
