TART The Sequel (TART 4)

Embarrassing Moments :')

— written Friday March 5th —

I have a funny/embarrassing story from Wednesday XD

Instead of math, we had two people come over to have a lecture about the Sámi people

Eventually they started talking about culture and music, specifically about the joik, and they mentioned something about how it could also be used to serenade someone

So the lady asked one of the guys in my class what his name is, and she was obviously gonna use him as an example

AND THEN HER EYES LANDED ON ME 😭😭😭😭

And I kept hoping that she was really looking at the person next to or behind me, but she asked "what's your name? You in the checkered shirt?" and I immediately wanted to die because I was wearing a flannel shirt

So then of course she said something like "so if you wanted to serenade Kaitlin, you could sing her a joik" AND IT FELT LIKE THAT EXAMPLE WENT ON FOREVER AND I COULD FEEL EVERYONE STARING AT ME AND I WENT COMPLETELY RED AND I WANTED TO DIE

THAT LADY REALLY LOOKED AT ME AND THOUGHT "THIS IS IT" 😭😭😭

She probably saw me yawning at some point and wanted revenge :'>

Speaking of embarrassing moments, we had this project on Tuesday where my class was split into groups of around 8 people plus a teacher, and we had to do different activities to get to know each other

We started off by saying one good thing and one bad thing that happened to us in the past week

And literally nothing happens in my life so I ended up saying that both the good and the bad thing was that I finished reading The Hunger Games-

Why am I like this

But yeah, it was anxiety fuel but I got through it and it wasn't as bad as I was expecting it to be >_< We ended with some kind of yoga where we all just sat in our chairs and closed our eyes while the teacher read some script that's supposed to help us relax, which was a good thing because I definitely needed to relax a bit after that project XD

Though we're gonna have it 3 more times, and the next time is on my birthday :') 😭

I was gonna show you guys an ad that came up for me but it got taken down by Wattpad before I even published this chapter lmao

Anywho, I witnessed something really weird!!

This was the road home yesterday:

It just suddenly went completely white outside, and I kid you not, it was white for a stretch of the road and then it stopped completely out of nowhere

It was kinda scary driving in that lol but it was only for like three minutes and then BOOM clear skies and no snow, like there was a dome of snow and wind?? It didn't even gradually get better, it was just suddenly gone lol

So yeah, this is the time of year that I hate :))) The snow melts during the day and then freezes over night, so every day is either a slushy mess or an ice rink

It was super slushy on Wednesday and my shoes were soaked by the time I got home, and then yesterday it was an ice rink :/ But you know what I hate more than an ice rink? Fluffy snow on top of an ice rink!!

Because it's so unexpected!! It looks like innocent snow and then BOOM you're on your butt :( I never slipped yesterday luckily but I had to walk so slowly and carefully and I felt like a penguin XD

Speaking of weather, we might be hit by a snow storm tomorrow lol. I'm just glad that it's on the weekend and not during the week because going to school would've been torture, and Norwegians aren't no wusses so we don't get snow days lol (yes this is aimed at you Americans lmao)

But yeah, i heard something about a Polar Vortex though I'm not quite sure what that's about (I had never even heard of it before today)

We'll see if it hits us >w< Not that it affects me or my family at all, I'm just a little frightened by wind :> Is that weird? XD I absolutely love thunder and lightning, but I find strong wind so scary lmao

Ok last thing: I finally know how much blood money I'm getting and when! XD

We've been setting up a bank account for me in the US (with help by my grandparents) so I can actually get the money, so my parents have had a lot of contact with the bank and whatever else they had to contact for my blood money lol

My first payment is this year (so my 18th birthday), my second payment is for my 21st birthday in 2024, and my third and final payment is for my 25th birthday in 2028

The total amount is 178 167 USD / around 1 513 596 NOK

...I'll be getting around 1,5 million Norwegian kroner, I don't even know how to process this XD And everyone getting the blood money because of Baybees Pediatrics was divided into 3 or 4 categories depending on the crime, and I was in category 3 or 4

I can't even imagine how much money the people in category 1 are getting >_< Though no amount of money can ever heal the trauma they will carry with them for the rest of their lives

But yeah lol, by Tuesday, I'll be 50 344 dollars richer XD The money is going towards my college tuition though so I won't be touching it for a while >w< The only reason I would even think of touching it otherwise would be for my art career

I'm just gonna end it here :> I hope you guys are healthy and happy :)
