March 26 & 27.
Welll. March 26, I had practice & then work. Kind of a lame day. Work was horribly tiring and disgusting. I was sent out to do garbage and cardboard, only to discover that the usual exits were closed, SO I had to go to the one in the northeast end of the mall downstairs. Not only did it smell like shit, I also had to keep picking up the cardboard off the ground because it kept falling off the trolley. Once I got to the doors to the cardboard/garbage, there was a line up because the compactor was full. Instead of just putting all the cardboard and garbage away at once, I had to organize it seperately on top of the compactor where everyone else's crap was. & it gets worse. The cement floor was covered in garbage residue which leaked through my shoes, and to my skin. UGH aserdtfyhuijok;ljgyutdrsxyfykgugblhnfjkveandknfbffbdnhmj,yumtsrtjeha. It was just so disgusting. I felt so disgusting. Thank goodness I had a second pair of shoes, cause I ended up soaking my contaminated shoes in soap water, leaving them to dry in the washing station in our store bathroom. In fact, they are still there now. Aside from that gross story, I realized that TODAY was the 26.Wednesday. The 26th of March. And my flight? My flight is on the 29. This entire month, I've been telling people I leave on Saturday, because that's when I thought my flight was! BUT the 29th is Friday! SO I LEAVE IN LESS THAN 3 DAYS. I'm excited (-of course- I mean..I haven't been to La in 2 years! I just can't wait to get out of Calgary, and just be with my cousins & go to the beach, and shop...and all of that good stuff.) but I'm also both scared and stressed. Scared, because I'll be taking the plane and switching planes by myself. Stressed, because this means I miss Friday's big session, and I have nothing prepared for OTTN which is the day I get back. Yeah this whole mixed emotions thing doesn't work well for me...
But anyways. I guess today wasn't THAT bad. I'm just getting by.
March 27.
I had practice after school, and I hung out with a former friend (-well...I guess we're not "former friends" any longer after tonight haha, back on that friendship boat). It was weird because we got along really well, and we had a good deep conversation which went on for a good 2-3 hours. I haven't really hung out or had a real conversation with this girl since grade 10. Seeing her side on everything definitely made me more sympathetic towards her. She made me realize and question a lot of things. How can two people be so alike but different at the same time? & how can we become so apathetic towards people? We all have been hurt. We are all human. We all have value. We all have different stories. We all deserve to not be judged. We all deserve equality. We all deserve a chance. Not even just that, but so much more. She even opened my eyes to different options for after high school, and now I feel like I have a better idea of what I want to do. So I'm grateful. It was a long conversation, but a good one. After that we jammed out on the piano and played/sang "A Whole New World" acoustically, and we watched The King & I, cartoon version. I felt like I child today, feeling all that nostalgia. I would say my critique on the film, but I fell asleep...as always. From what I remember though it was a good movie, so I'll stick with the opinion I had, 11 years ago haha. Overall, Today was interesting. I needed this.
