Happy Thanksgiving, everybody!

Dear, temporomandibular joint. I hate you.

I'm dead serious. For those of you who don't know, the TMJ is the joint that hinges the jaw to the skull. And it sucks when it locks up. I grind my teeth and clench them when I'm stressed [which, surprise surprise, I am right now] so my jaw has basically been useless all day. It was a challenge to eat yogurt. YOGURT! I couldn't open my mouth wide enough to fit the spoon it. And it took me 20 minutes to eat a banana because I kept having to just pull off tiny chunks that I couldn't really chew all that well. It feels like someone punched the left side of my jaw and it's all swollen...but it's not swollen. It just feels that way. I have a dentist appointment tomorrow to hopefully fix it, so I'll keep my fingers crossed. But it's driving me insane, I can't talk, can't eat, can barely move my head! It hurts so freakin' bad, I just want to cry! :(

I HATE THIS!!!

Ok, so I whined about Worldview in my last post but I'm going to whine again. After I wrote that stupid paper twice [and am still not sure it's what the teacher wants] I have to now work on the presentation that I couldn't work on during the week because I was focusing all of my energy on the paper! So now I only have the weekend to put together an entire presentation about my topic! I have teen alcohol abuse, and I was originally just going to make a PSA for my presentation...but all the people that were going to act in said PSA bailed on me. Apparently they have more important things to do than to help a friend out. So, no PSA. There went my idea. So I have absolutely NOTHING! All of my other ideas have fallen through and I can't think of anything else to do! I'm SO SICK AND TIRED OF THIS STUPID THING! I just don't even want to have to think about it anymore. I just want the damn thing out of my hair.

UGH!

Right now, suicide might be an option. AKA: A shiny new emo post by Ink

I know, I know. I dropped off the face of the planet. Not that I think anyone noticed; but, whatever. So I'm going to rant, so if you're not in a rant-reading mood then click the lovely little back arrow and go about your merry way.

Anyway, this past weekend I had a four day weekend. And let me tell you, I was so excited about having a break! But no such luck. I got saddled with not one BUT TWO projects to do over the long weekend. I'd known about the anatomy project for a couple of weeks before the long weekend, so I'd already started on it. But the Worldview project just sort of came out of the blue. So I spent my ENTIRE long weekend working on homework. I cried a lot because I felt so stressed and pressed for time.

Monday morning [yesterday] rolls around I was realived as I turned both projects in. I handed my Worldview paper to my teacher, she looks at it in disgust. I'm of course, having a 'oh my God, I thought I did this project right' moment. Everyone got this reaction from her--and she's usually a really easy-going teacher...So needless to say, I spent the rest of Monday going into conniptions because I was worried that I'd get a bad grade. I kind of took solace in the fact that she seemed disappointed by everyone's papers...

Well, this morning we all get our papers back--as well as a nice long lecture about "not following directions". What the hell? So, I got a 55. An EFFING 55!! I've never gotten a 55 on a paper in my life. Hell, I've never gotten below a 60 on ANYTHING in my entire scholastic career. So, she lectured us about not paying attention or taking notes when she told us about this project. Oh wait, let's stop and think a moment: I TOOK NOTES! I had my laptop out that day, and I have a text document saved on my computer of what she told us this damn project was supposed to be about.

Our teacher also gave us this nifty little sheet of paper that detailed EXACTLY what she apparently wanted on this paper. I used the damn sheet she gave us to write my paper. So I had a concrete set 3 page essay with exactly what was on the sheet she gave us. It was well written, well thought out, and overall well done. But, when we got the papers back she graded them on a COMPLETELY different criteria, then what the sheet she gave us said she would. The sheet she gaves us said that a certain part of the essay would be worth so many points and so on and so forth. The grading sheet she gaves us had COMPLETELY different point values, that weren't even close to the original point values.

So just whatever. I don't know how to please. I'm just so tired of everything right now. I just want to go home, crawl into my bed and not get up until I'm done with highschool.

Forget the Pirates

So today, I found out that the other two girls who were going to dress up as pirates with me tomorrow for costume day decided that they didn't want to be part of our group so they probably aren't coming as pirates. So I'm considering mutiny and going over the ninja side. I'll probably bring both costumes to school and if I'm the only pirate, I'll change into a ninja costume. But I have to say, I'm a little disappointed that the other pirates bailed. But I guess I'm not that surprised it's the two annoying people in my class--the ones that pretty much go out of their way most days to be pessimistic and moody and they're constantly PMS'ing. It's ridiculous. Whatever, if being a pirate meant I had to be with them, I don't know if I would want to be a pirate anyways. And besides in the whole pirates vs. ninjas debate I'm totally for ninjas. So there.
