Neutral Overall

It's funny how a couple of bad experiences towards the end can turn a good day into a crap one so remarkably rapidly.


I don't really want to go into details since it would probably be boring and that would annoy me further. Suffice it to say that I stuffed up some stuff, mostly schoolwork, which isn't so bad in itself but which has combined with getting a lot of crap from various people and the general inconvenience and annoyance brought on by my surgery to really get on my nerves.

I could make a pun about the surgery and the difficulty of taking (a) crap afterwards, but that would be beneath me. Still annoying though.


On the bright side, I got to talk to my old Physics teacher, Mr Cook, at school today. He's a great guy and always fun to talk with. He had been in school handing around some Christmas cards to former colleagues because he'd be going away on holiday for a while and didn't want to miss some members of staff who were leaving after the end of term.

He was apparently going to Portugal to play golf for a week, having been asked by a friend who had had someone drop out of their group at the last moment. Such is the life of a retired old man, apparently. Sounds pretty cool, to be honest. If you like golf.

So it was nice to see him and chat for a while about school and life in general.


I think I'm in a better mood now. Seems like it was a smart thing to do to focus on the positive aspects of the day rather than the negative. It might all be ruined by the nightly shouting match in a few minutes but I'm hoping to avoid that by going to bed early.

I also get to get up late tomorrow morning – I have an appointment to see a consultant at the hospital just after ten o'clock, so there's no point in going in for just one lesson before leaving again. It means I miss Computing, which is annoying, but not that I miss Maths, which is equally annoying. Because I haven't done a large chunk of Maths homework and there's no way I'll be able to get it done tomorrow.

Oh, well. I'll figure something out and do it over the weekend, along with my Computing project and Physics research... I thought the end of term was a time for winding down schoolwork? Meh. I'm off to bed.
