Yeah, but finding ways to show them that you are a good person is really the only way I can think of to change minds. And honestly, not having people talk bad about me would be nice.

That's true... I know hearing someone talk about you behind your back really hurts...

It really does. Especially if they don't remember it in the same light as you do. But whatever. I try to live my life as almost a saint or martyr... and you know... those who see me on a day to day basis feel that I am a super good person. I don't think I am, but I prefer that opinion to the one I had from my mom.

Well we all have faults... some people just notice them more than others...
I know if you messed up I would likely forgive you much sooner than say someone who was known to be rude.

I sure would hate to have messed up in the first place. I did today. Thought I was only two minutes late, walked in determined to face the music like a good person... and about died when I learned I was actually 30 minutes late.

Ah ouch... that would be problematic... what happened?

Last two years, the time on Saturday to show up to work was 10. 10, 10, 10. Then partway through last semester, they decided to have it be 9:30 so we could teach classes back to back to back... each of us teaching three classes every Saturday instead of all of us helping each other with one class with the leader being on rotation to lead. Then this semester it is back to one class, but they didn't move the time back to 10. It was kept at 9:30. I forgot...

Bleh that would just be confusing... I've seen worse though... like whole sections of a class not showing up because of daylights saving time (a full hour late)

yeah, we don't have that here.

Hey, y'all.

Mai, I thought everything turned out okay? :-(

It seems my parent's are not as bad today. They let me eat breakfast first~ Got some eggs, toast, and yogurt with a cup of tea~ I just hope they keep being nice like right now. It's even hotter than it was yesterday! So I really do hope things go better today~

I hope so, too.

Do your best to drink water dear. And every time you go to the restroom, steal a couple handfuls of tap water when you wash your hands... just a quick ten seconds. You don't have to tell them or make a big deal about it... pretend it is a secret mission ;)

Yay Mina is being treated good!

I can understand that Mai... I feel bad if I'm late too... really to the extent of paranoia... o.o I'll arrive places hours early now sometimes

Aww, I'm sorry.

That sounds like good advice, Mai.

I'm kinda big on things involving time... I like my time planned to a T... and I rather always be ten minutes early... actually, I've been 30 minutes early on numerous occasions...

I know that feeling of wanting to be on time. D: I always arrived about half an hour before class starts when I went to college classes. Even though I wasn't even taking the class for any grade, and just for recreation.

I remember in middle school onward I also would be the first to wait outside of classes. I would rarely use my locker between classes because of the time constraint, and just carry all my books with me to every class.

Good morning guys!

Yeah, I did that too. That I was late... was horrifying... and that everyone saw me late made it worse... and that one of the teachers kept repeating that I was late humiliating...

Yeah, being on time is a very good thing, I think. You do tend to miss things when you aren't.

On the other hand, it is a real struggle for some people. Like me, sometimes. I tend to lose track of time a lot, and I never mean to be late, but it sometimes happens, anyway.

I don't mean to be disrespectful by it, or anything. I've just spent a lot longer trying to forget what time it is than I've spent focused on it.

I arrived to class up to 3 hours early for 2 quarters...

How on earth did you have the time for that?

Sony is stupid. Their wireless headset doesn't come with the cable required to charge it.

I only had one 4 hour class is how. Otherwise I didn't do much with my day.

@ TNTK - WHAT!?! That's ridiculous...

Head still hurts a tad but it's definitely a lot better! How are you?
