Simone

Reasons I am irritated:

1. My parents grounded me for two and half months, effectively ruining the last birthday of my legal childhood and the entire month of November. I am now realizing this ruination extends to winter break and New Year’s Eve.

1a. Despite being grounded for nearly two months, I’m rocking a low D and solid C.

1b. Despite rocking a low D and solid C, I continue to obsess over going to a selective institution of higher learning, and through the experience of my elders, the senior class, I am discovering that finding a school which fulfills all of your desires is almost entirely impossible, as is getting in to that school, in the event you find it.

2. I spend way too much time thinking about a boy who doesn’t think about me.
The only way I can fathom solving this problem is by finding a new boy to think about.

3. My computer’s USB port no longer works, meaning there is no way to solve the issue of the expended storage of my phone or computer. Eventually, I will completely run out of space on these devices, be forced to acquire news ones, and will lose years of cyber-memories in the process.

4. I want to make an outline of my life so that I can live it more easily but that’s impossible and also flawed in nature.

5. Sleep has become a rare commodity which is sad to admit to myself.

6a. I have to spend hours of my life in courses that hold no importance to me, which I know have no relevance to the set of skills I will need in my career.

a. Safari keeps shutting itself down, probably because I’m running out of space on my computer but maybe also because it knows I’m not actually going to finish the research paper I have due.

7. While watching Star Wars, a woman next to me vehemently texted her daughter. She used two fingers and a lot of emojis to type. Her obnoxious brightness level was likely a result of her ignorance to the fact she could lower it. She remained this way for nearly 20 minutes. It was disgraceful.

7a. I didn’t say anything to her because adults are scary. ♦
