A Day Above Ground ft. Game Show Night

I say this a lot. Probably an unnecessary amount.

Somebody will ask how I'm doing, and I'll say: "Every day above ground is a good day". Or they'll ask how it's going, and I'll respond with: "Well, it sure is going, that's for sure" I don't know why I do it. I guess I'm hiding what I'm feeling in a way.. That's another thing that I do a lot. Maybe that's it...

Anyway, that's what I'm going to talk about I guess. Seems like it could be deep, so lets see where it leads.

I don't know why, but even though there hasn't really been anything super drastic that's happened in my life so far, I have just never really been super open about the way I feel. About anything.

Well, that's a lie. Remember the first post I made? There's like 3 or 4 things that I'm super open about.

But past that, my emotional/personal life's a closed book to most. Even to my family, a lot of the time I don't say what's on my mind. I don't know how long I've been doing it, but it happens more often than you might think...

I'll hide it too. I'll be like: "I was going to say something, but I forget what it was.." and just try to play the dummy in the situation. Truth is, it's not like I'm cussing the wallpaper off of my craniums interior or anything, because that's never, ever, been a problem for me.

I think that for the most part it's just not wanting to say it because of how truthful it is. People today can't handle the truth, and so I don't say it. Or, in regards to myself, I don't want to expose myself. I don't want people to see that side of me. The one part of myself that I keep private. I don't want to lose that one last piece of myself to the publics eye.

Now that the serious part is over: FUN TIME

So, for those that don't know, I for sure dropped my math class like an 800 pound bag of rocks. That sucker was not worth it. 21/10 would not recommend to anybody that exists.

That being said, it was one of the hardest things I've had to do in a while. Everybody just seemed so... disappointed.

I didn't like it.

But I mean hey, after it's all said and done, I have a lot more free time... I didn't realize exactly how much time I was spending on it until I dropped it. It really opens your eyes. I have time to talk to my friends. I have time to go to rec. I have time to not be depressed. I have time in which I don't actually want to die lol

Anyways. Tonight was Game Show Night at my school. Let me just throw these words into the conversation: "inconsistencies", "mistakes", "ill-preparedness". It was a tragedy. The first 20 minutes were fine. And then Jeopardy came around. Every student was supposed to be an answer to a different question. That was definitely not the case.

FACULTY had answers in the game, but there were like ten students that didn't have one. Answers were accepted at some times, but not at others. Points were given for partial answers at times, but not for full answers at others.

I was so freaking confused. The whole thing was a mess. It made me uncomfortable.

At the end of the night, after it all was said and done ( thank God ), the Junior Class won, as expected (-_-) and we ( the Seniors ) were in like third place. I don't really care all that much. It for sure could have been worse... We DID win the other 2 class competitions...

WHICH LEADS ME TO ANOTHER POINT ( Really going off on all sorts of tangents eh? )

We had, at the beginning of the year, SA Picnic. There were all sorts of games and everything that got us points, and so on and so forth, but it all came down to a game of Tug-of-War between Us and the Junior Class. *dun-dun-dun-duuuun*

We're going, and the Seniors are winning, and then right before we win the match, the entire Junior Class "lets us win" by letting go of the rope. FIRST OF ALL. Extreme scenario, but say I shot somebody a lot of times in the stomach or something. Just because they punch themselves right before they die, doesn't mean that they killed themselves.

So yeah, since the beginning of the year, the Junior Class has been proud of the fact that they had to "let" us win.

**groans, releasing all of the pent-up frustration into the air surrounding me, forever tainting it with the saltiness acquired by my reactions to peoples idiocy**

That's it for tonight. If you skipped the semi-boring part at the beginning and are just reading this: FIRST of all, not how that works. Read up my dude. SECOND of all, either way, I highly recommend reading it all. It's worth it I promise.

I might have a guest speaker on here sometime. Somebody I can give the log-in info to, and get their stance on things for a change... We'll see....

Stay tuned for updates, and like my FB page. Or this post. Or both. Or comment on my FB page. Or on here. Or subscribe to my blog. Or don't. Your choice. (:D *laughs desperately*

That being said:

Adios mi amigos
