This Is My Life

I Had An Essay

Hiiiiii😊

I'm in a really good mood right now! Like, I'm so happy! And it's amazing!

You see, these past couple of days have really got me down in the dumps, because last Friday, some kids in my World History class kept talking about how men are better than women, and the patriarchy and whatever. (I got hella triggered. I mean, I get that it happened where men did manly jobs and cared for the tribes and stuff more, but these kids - because there's no way such idiots are more than kids - made some unnecessary comments. Not to mention, they were really harsh to my trans friends who wanted to be a guy in the game but was forced to be a girl since she wasn't actually a guy but they were. Ugh.)

Then over the weekend I finished half of my English essay for the timed essay on Monday, but during class, I didn't even finish the other half.
Also, on Monday, I forgot my change of clothes for band practice after school. All in all, it wasn't great.

But at the same time (litetally), things got better.

One of those boys from my history class was moved to another period (I found this out at the beginning of class on the Friday with the incident, and was so glad. I was like, This is it. The last class. You can wait 45 minutes, come on. Don't be an ass. Still, when my friend had had enough with their "real men" bullcrap and said, "I can't deal with them anymore," I responded (not too quietly) with, "Don't worry. That one's going to another class period from now on." Tbh, I felt kinda like a bully, but he deserved it.), so now the other one finally shuts up about the stupid stuff.

When writing the essay, I thoroughly enjoyed it; it was nice to write again after having some writer's block. Then on Monday, my sister traded with me so I could wear her shorts.

I've even gotten closer to some people and spent more time with the people I like hanging out with, which I couldn't really do last week. It makes me so genuinely happy.😊

Anyway, that's all mainly what went down, but that's not what truly made my day so magical.

For my essay on Monday, I didn't finish in class, so I had to turn it in incomplete. This devastated me since I was so looking forward to getting through the conclusion and blowing the reader away with awesomeness. (I love to think confidently when writing essays, so towards the end, the conclusion would end up, like, *says something deep, awesome, cool* *mic drop* *amazed crowd*) I love leaving people stunned and it makes me beyond happy when my writing affects others in some way. Because of that, I feel better about myself and my writing. Anywho, as stated before, I DIDN'T FINISH IT.😖😡😢

In class today, we were supposed to grade our essays then have another classmate grade our essay. The teacher had already graded them, but he wanted us to figure out what we did good/ could do better on and stuff, and why. He also said to grade incomplete essays based on what was there, not the fact that they didn't finish. So I read through my *cough*incomplete*cough* essay, and I think I did fairly well. On a scale of 1 - 6 (1 is the worst, 6 is the best), I gave myself somewhere between a 4 and a 5. Pretty good, I think.

Then another student reads it, and I'm talking with my friends while reading his. (It was nice. I like this class period mainly 'cause these people are in it.) He gives me a 6! Damn, I was stunned. A 6.

But wow, he actually thought I deserved a 6, and it wasn't even complete. That all on its own made my day; it'll definetely be something I look back on when I'm feeling down. Because to think that someone really likes your writing really boosts you're spirits.

And several other students said my handwriting was nice! People don't usually say that to me! That was also really great.

But yeah. That happened, and suddenly everything else went so nicely. It was fantastic.💖

Also, HopelessRomantic765 you updating today also made my day better! I love your story!
