My Life at High School

May 20th 2022 - Week Recap

So. I'm back.

Technically, I could've posted this later and put it on another date but I promised so I did it the day after. 

I have a lot to say, yet I completely forgot what I was going to say. 

So let's start at the beginning, shall we? 

I had a GP (medical, for those who don't understand.) appointment on Monday. I'm sorry but I hate the GP. Honestly.

They don't do anything useful at all. 

Okay, they probably do but in my case they don't do anything useful. 

So I went, knowing damn well that they wouldn't be able to help. 

And I was right.

They couldn't do anything so they made me a referral somewhere else. And apparently 40-60 minutes cost £500. 500!

Are they mad? 

The NHS is free yet this is £500. It isn't worth it but according to my parents it is. I'm sorry but I know this is too much. 

So I got pissed but I kinda have to live with it at the moment. 

Oh and we changed form rooms. Because the Year 11's (Grade 10) left for study leave, we moved in our new form rooms. 'New' as in it was our first time having that room. Not 'new' like it was newly built. Our old form room was newly built. This wasn't.

It was completely old and needed renovating. It had cracks and fungus growing in one corner, for example. 

If you saw it, you'd get it. 

It's absolutely trash. 

Let's move to Tuesday. 

So on Tuesday, remember the Chem teacher? 

He called on me to talk while we were working on the computers.

What happened was that I was told to come on Monday lunch for the detention thing. But I found out about my appointment and emailed him on Sunday that I may not be able to show up. 

He told me that if I could come, then I should sign in and come straight to V15. 

I didn't.

I pretended that I didn't see his email. Technically I didn't see it because I never actually opened the email but I saw what my lock screen allowed me to see. 

So on Tuesday he asked me why I didn't show up. I told him about the appointment, told him that I 'hadn't' seen the email and I assumed I was to see him on Tuesday, though he never clarified.

He did ask me when did I return to school and I told him that around 1:45 which was the truth. 

After he told me why I didn't I send him an email, telling him of this new arrangement. 

I had to stop from myself getting angry. 

I was in no state to email him. Hell I wasn't even thinking about school in the first place.

The most I thought of school was that I didn't want to go back. 

I really couldn't care less that I had to show up. 

So that's what I said. The 'in no state.' part. Not every sentence after.

"There was no apology email later either," He asked, pointedly.

Well I'm sorry but I was in no state to email you. Why should I apologize for something I had no control over?

"I was busy after school, the entire day and I wasn't on my laptop."

Which was true. Technically.

School finishes at 3:40pm. I've got volunteering at 4:45 - 5:45. Then at 7pm I had my english tutor. Yes I had an entire hour between them. But between end of school and volunteering I had some well-needed rest. I don't know what I did after volunteering. All I know was he was the last thing on my mind.

So he was like Thursday V15. 

Yeah, yeah I got it.

I didn't do the work.  

So I didn't know that we didn't have homework and I assumed we did. So on Tuesday morning I asked my mom to write a note. It wasn't needed. But my mom didn't put a date. Meaning I had less than a week to use it.

And I did.

I knew damn well I wasn't going to do or be able to do it. So I just left it.

Yesterday was Thursday. 

I met him and he told me to come in and where I was up to. 

"I didn't do any work."

"Well ...... Take your logbook out."

I did and opened it for him on the page with the note. 

He barely looked at it and just gestured me to write in it.

"My mom wrote a note for you."

His entire behaviour changed and then he decided to sit down and take a look.

So while he was writing a note, he asked me questions which I was slightly vague on but I told him the truth. 

In short, the note basically said that ...... had two weeks to do this, please confer with her when she should be able to finish this before taking further action. He made it sound like I was the main suspect for a murder trial. 

Now, I have to have it signed by both my mom and my form tutor. Great right.

He's the best.

Note the sarcasm for those who lack the natural language of the sarcastic.

And today we exchanged a friendly 'hey' as if we were friends. 

The irony.

I have other stuff to write about aka today. But first off, I have to work. And second off, I need something for Sunday. 

Bye bye.
