And right now, it’s just confusing.
It’s that kind of day I end up remembering forever, because it is that kind of day where I always end up making a mess of myself. These days have given me endless embarrassments to make me kick my pillows in the middle of the night and countless moments I wished I vanished into thin air.
Anchored the inter-school debate competition with fumbled introductions, low volume mics and a messed up sequence of events. Forgot my tablet in the hall in a hurry to fetch the perfume I forgot in my drawer yesterday and in this process… my lip balm was lost.
What a messy day, honestly.
After lunch we went for the student council parade practice and were made to stand straight for about two hours in the process. And we still have no idea when our investiture ceremony will take place. Came home to see washed laundry scattered inside almost my whole house since it was raining previously and now I had to go and hang it outside.
What a weary day, honestly.
But why am I not pulling my hair right now?
Because the fumble was neglected and the competition gained flavour through our actually nice Principal, my tablet was picked up by a super sweet classmate and handed over to me. My girly pop friend was equally concerned for my lost lip balm because it smelled amazing. Coconut-ish.
And the highlight of my day.
After the event, I congratulated the winning team from another school and paused. Thought. And then didn’t think at all. Spoke.
“I remember you from media fest!”
“Yes! I was also wondering where I’ve seen you before.”
And after a 15 minutes long interaction, we shared our Instagram and officially became friends.
I have never been more proud of such a simple action. The me from last year’s August didn’t have a life outside class, home and doomscrolling, and now people from across the city know me.
What a day, honestly. Definitely not an embarrassing one.
