#33 Best's Never Good Enough

I'm super annoyed. Seriously. I guess I already have this "Danger, Please Avoid" sign printed on my face. I was just so close to arguing back but instead I just walked straight out of the class. I'm during to be the bridge. The one that HAS CHOSEN to remain neutral. I don't like having this love-hate relationship with every other human being. I've chosen to give the respect that's due to the authorities, even though sometimes I feel they don't deserve it at all.

Its the first period of the day and it was so ruined. Firstly it was Oral. I'm left with just one question. Why is it out of the 9 of us, 8 of them was on Festivals and mine was conversation topic was, "Why do you think you must have a good appearance?" I stammered so it was similar, "Why do you want to always look beautiful?" What on earth was I to answer? I was like totally clueless. I'm sure i would not say, I want to look beautiful to attract the opposite sex. That's the most stupidest and untrue answer. But honestly, What was I to say? I only mentioned to give a first good impression. I still would say having the festivals topic would be easier especially for someone like me - who knows more than 1 festival - It was plain bias but I didn't say anything. I didn't want to argue.

Then came letter writing. We had 30 minutes to complete it. Firstly it was supposed to be a graded assignment. Secondly if it was a national exam it would be 2hours for Paper 1. I wrote all my points above the grid paper in English. Translated it into Tamil and picked out good phrases to use. That itself took 20minutes. But i didn't want to give up. I just wanted to prove everyone of THEM wrong. But before the bell could even ring, my paper was taken away, nothing being written on it. Was I to be happy about it? No, not at all. Every time I want to try and give it my best shot, I'm never able to because something like this would obstruct the way. Oh wells.

Not only that, I was even accused wrongly when i hesitated and tried asking for a little more time. I was supposedly 'using my cellphone' when it was actually my precious notebook that converts good Tamil phrases into English and English words into Tamil. And, because I was doing so, in his anger he just snatched the paper away.

Then my question at the bottom would remain,
how bad can a day get?
