if i were name one (1) of my major flaws, it would be that i don't read.
it's funny because if someone were to hand me a book and told me i have till midnight to finish, i could do it easily. piece of cake.
the problem lies within the fact that i'm too lazy to go out of my way to find a book to read. but if i saw one lying around, i would try it.........i suppose. i do love reading though, just not novels. articles are nice!
i wish i did though, i could definitely use some help with my vocab, it's not bad but not great either. not good enough for a 10/10 on an essay for sure.
in 9th grade, we would have to write short stories for our english literature class. it was one of my favorites and i always found myself looking forward to it. this was during my two line horror story phase so i made i sure to include few in every story i wrote. the best feeling was definitely when got back our graded papers and i'd see ma'am had given me a high score and a star. remarks like 'good' or simply a star from a teacher meant a lot to me as a student. i loved getting praised about my handwriting and had this superiority complex that my handwriting was better than others but looking at my old notebooks now made me realize that i was quite the delusional kid.
since we're on the topic, i don't have a lot of fond memories from school or particularly with teachers. doesn't help that i was quite an aloof child. but i did have some ~unique~ friends so lets talk about that shall we
i had this one friend who kind of a weirdo. she had a habit of saying the most out of pocket things at the most random times and spoke in a sort of childish manner which pretty much gave away she was an only child. but! she was quite generous. her dad worked in a chocolate factory or maybe she was just rich i don't know. she would often bring fun treats like ferrero rochers. im not talking the 3 pack one but the big set with different flavours. she would distribute it among the class for absolutely no reason like it wasn't even her birthday or anything. i being her best friend though, had the privilege of picking how many ever i wanted which, of course, i would take full advantage of. man, at that moment i loved being her friend. i do wonder how she's doing now.
another one of my memorable friends was this sweet girl who was half syrian. she spoke arabic fluently and her english was really good. she would see me struggling in arabic class and always be there to save my ass. our teacher who was quite the devil once saw her helping me and made us sit apart for the rest of the term (her husband so cheats on her ugly ass because why would you be so mean to a child). ahem anyways. she was the first person i met who genuinely loved animals and would take in stray cats, even birds. i remember being surprised at her crying over a blind bird once. back then i didn't understand but i totally feel her now. we could be soul sisters.
i have so many more but that's for another time
toodles
