a metaphorical effigy to my sub-standard reading skills.

Lately I have been a little confused about what was going on about the Ag presentations. You see, where it said 'date of issue', I thought that meant 'date to issue your assignment to the teacher' and the presentations to the class woudl start in week 3. For my last few weeks of ignorance, it struck me as very odd that we'd need to hand in our assignments two weeks before presentations began. I'd been turning this over in my head, wondering why this is, when about a couple minutes ago I re-read the notification for the tenth time, this time noting the 'term 1' next to the week 3. My HORRIBLE reading skills have tricked me into thinking that the date of issue was week 1, term 3, and presentation was W3 T3. I feel really shameful of myself, I mean, I bet there's a really smart kid out there who would want to go to Hurlstone, and one of the spots in the school has been taken up by an idiot like me. I wouoold like to think I have good common sense, but I really do the stupidest things sometimes. It's so humiliating! Especially when my sisters are around to see me blunder, they're always like, "Are you SURE you got into Hurlstone?" and "What do they teach you at that school?", sometimes even "You must be soaking up the asianerd effect from your friends." I don't blame them for saying those things though. As pointed as they are, I know I'd make fun of myself were I in their position.

A day and a half left of freedom before going back to the dilapidated cage that is our school XD. The holidays really have been a blur for me. I SWEAR they'd last longer. I can still clearly remember PE last period and thinking, "it's gonna be a long time before I see everyone again," and now here we are. Well, sleep in tomorrow guys, we're not gonna be able to do it extensively for more than 2 months after! I'll see you all there...right?
