I made a post on Valentine’s Day last year saying that I’m still single, and I can proudly say the same for this year! Happy Valentine’s Day, everyone.
It's ok to be single. I haven't dated a single person in high school (my only relationship was a 1-hour one in eight grade), and I'm a Senior who's graduating in less than four months. I've always wanted to be in a relationship, but in the past year I've started to realize that it's honestly not everything. There are people who I really like and would love to be in a relationship with, but I'm still happy with my life and myself despite the fact that I'm not.
I get that it’s ok to not be in one but I’d love to be in one. I’m not hunting out and looking for a girlfriend. I’m waiting for the right girl to be in my life.
Last year there was this one girl who in my eyes was amazing to me (she looked beautiful and had an amazing personality. I actually liked going to school because of her for a short amount of time). I wanted her to be my GF but she ended up using me to get good grades and ended up being fake sadly.
Ah, I'm sorry that she did that to you... that's not very nice of her.
I'm glad you're waiting for the right person... it may take longer to be in a relationship, but at least you have a better chance of finding someone who will make you happy and like you for who you are.
I’m luckily feeling much better, but I still have a few lingering cold symptoms. I felt horrible when I woke up on Monday, but I started feeling better on Tuesday and have only really had a stuffy nose and a bit of a cough since then. Unfortunately this is the 5th time I’ve been sick since the middle of November, so I’m probably gonna catch a cold or the flu another one or two times before winter ends.
Anyway, I’m still going to be inactive this week. I have so much to do, and I might have to take a couple of days out of my actual job to finish everything. I picked up a shift at my second job last night, so I wasn’t able to finish all of the work that I wanted to get done then. Most of it isn’t even school work, except for an essay that’s due on Friday that I plan to work on and finish today anyway. I have a school break next week, so I’m assuming I’ll be able to be active then.
I’m not feeling well at the moment, so I’ll be less active until I’m better. I woke up at 3AM feeling absolutely awful, and it hurt to swallow until around 10:30. I felt super nauseous (still do), have a stuffy nose, and I feel like I have a nasty fever. I was luckily able to fall back asleep, on and off, until around 6AM though. I went to school and I’m going to work today, and I’m not gonna stay home from school unless I’m forced to (and since my dad is asleep when I’m getting ready for school, he can’t make me stay home ). I have so much that needs to be done over the next month that I can’t risk falling behind, so I need to take care of this whatever it is that I caught.
I’m trying to teach my little cousin math, and this conversation happened...
Me: So we want these sides even. We have 14 purples on this side and 10 greens on this side, so how many greens do we have to add?
Him: I don’t know.
Me: Okay, so what’s 14 - 10?
Him: 15!
Me: Not exactly, let’s try this. *I then grabbed the bracelet we were making and decided to show him how to do it. I had him count the beads on each side*. Now, how many more do we need to add to make fourteen?
Him: 15?
Me: No. *proceeds to have him add enough beads to equal fourteen. We counted them out... eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen*. How many did we just add?
Him: 4!
Me: Nice! In that case, what does 14-10 equal?
Him: 15!
Me: *facepalm*
I was also lying on the floor and he wanted to get me up, so he used my arm to attempt to drag me. His next solution was to scream “AHHH!” and jump on my back. Sigh.
Sorry for not being on much. I’ve been super busy over the past week. Despite how insane this weekend was, it was absolutely amazing. I went to the mall with my friends on Saturday afternoon, then I hung out at one’s house for a bit after. I then went to work, which is where it became crazy. I’ll be honest, I’m a confident person now, but that was the first time in around a year that I’ve felt social anxiety so badly. There were a ton of higher-ups in my city there, including the mayor. I met him and a lot of the other people there, and I also saw a teacher that I had last year but don’t know very well there. Since it was such an important event, I was struggling to keep up due to all of the people showing up at once and coming over to have me hang their coat. I love when work is busy, but the fact that it was extra busy and that there were so many high-ranking people there actually made me uncomfortable. After the huge rush, it was actually an amazing experience being there. I had a couple of quick conversations with the mayor and a long conversation with a couple at the end of the night, and I had the opportunity to meet and talk to a lot of these higher-up people who take care of the city. I also made a ton off of that night, so I couldn’t be happier that I had the chance to work that event. On top of that, I came home at around 12:30AM after work to find an envelope sitting on my placemat at the table. It’s from a college that I was interested in, and it was a paper regarding a huge scholarship that I had received from the school should I decide to attend it. I knew about it already, but getting the letter was also amazing.
Yesterday was kind of a disaster, but a productive and hilarious disaster. I found out the hard way that there is a such thing as too much vacuuming. I decided I’d clean my car again yesterday afternoon, since I hadn’t finished the back seats and underneath the seats the last time. I spent hours working on that, and I found a bunch of stuff from when my mom had the car over 9 months ago in it. It was actually quite nasty, so I’m glad I spent the time vacuuming and wiping everything off. Unfortunately, since I had a shop vac with a cord, I had to leave the car door open while I was vacuuming, which also leaves the interior lights on. I was vacuuming for so long that I managed to kill my car’s battery. At that point, I was stuck in the garage with a spotless car that wouldn’t start. Luckily I had backed in, leaving the front (where the battery is) toward the door so that it could be accessed. I had to jump start my car for the first time, so I learned how to do that hands-on. I’m glad that it worked, so my car is fine now. I do have to look into getting a new battery since this one is old anyway, so that’s more work. Anyway, it’s starting ok now and it’s now clean on the inside (although some bird pooped green on the side of it while I was at school today, so I’m kind of mad haha), so at least that’s done now.
I also had a decent day at school and work today. I was one of three people in my class who actually did an assignment correctly (I was one of the only ones who took it home and finished it with effort), so everyone had to redo it while I had a free period. I’ve also been in a good mood today, so that made the day better. My supervisor at work was in the room with me for the majority of my shift, but she likes me so the only real concern was making sure that I was extra cautious with the kids today. I had to yell a few times, but I’ve been extremely stern yet extremely happy all day for some odd reason. It worked perfectly though.
Anyway, I thought I’d share that since I’m honestly extremely happy with the way that everything has been going and I haven’t actually made a post in a few days.
