I am whining. I blame Manwir.

Okay so, everything was pretty much normal today. Yeah. And Manwir showed signs of PMS again. If you think about it, she shows signs of PMS almost everyday. I remember last year, it had been a joke, that Manwir had PPMS. Perpetual Pre Menstrual Syndrome.

And she does not mengamalkan nilai Bersimpati. Or Bertimbang rasa.

It's not very often that I finish my homework on time, and I actually took the effort to finish an entire essay. I could not hand it in on Friday 'cause I had done it in the wrong book. So I figured I'd go home and copy the entire thing onto foolscap paper.

Then it was Monday. We didn't have English period. I figured I'd hand it in on Tuesday.

And it turned out, she didn't want to accept them anymore. She didn't want to accept anything after the due date. She was really mad, 'cause half the class didn't bother to hand the thing in. Well, most of them didn't bother writing it.

Okay la, her being angry at us, I don't blame her. But she wants to deduct FIVE marks off our English exam. FIVE marks!

That is a lot.

So EuJoe and I tried to explain to her that we finished the thing last week, and wanted to hand it in but couldn't due to the fact that we wrote in in our exercise book instead of a foolscap paper.

Well, it was true what.

She doesn't have to accept our essays. She doesn't have to mark it. But couldn't she at least not deduct marks off our exams?

I mean, at least we bothered enough to go home and copy the entire thing again onto our papers. And mind you, it wasn't short. I could've just handed in my exercise book.

She asked us why we couldn't have copied it in school on Friday. Well, that thing's long enough to make me not feel like copying it in school before the bell rings, besides, it's not like I'd have been able to finish it anyway.

GAH.

I am mostly mad because it is five marks gone. It's the only subject I could try and get an A in, I mean, doing well in Physics and Chemistry is hard for people like me, you know.

Sad thing was, EuJoe actually made the effort to call me twice the night before to ask about the essay. If you know EuJoe, you'd know his attitude towards homework is, like, so so 'tidak-apa'. And he actually made an effort to write a nice essay.

Haha, naturally, he was pissed too. He wrote down Manwir's car number plate, and apparently wanted to puncture its tires/ spray graffiti on it.

I've wasted a lot of time on it, writing it the first time, and it was already long enough, then copying the entire thing again, and I even added an extra paragraph the second time around in hopes of making it nicer. Now Andrew says I can just rip the thing off, and I get to have marks deducted off my exams.

Conclusion: We dislike Manwir. Never liked her.

What else? Oh. I read Zihui's tag message on my tagboard, and I realized, yeahorh, I have been doing a lot of times already.

Doing what? Talking about death lor.

Like, what if I die? What if you die?

'Cause really, I am terribly, terribly afraid of it. Not of death, but of being forgotten.

Okay la, say it in a nicer way.

I am terribly afraid of not making a lasting mark before I leave.

So there.
