The End of a Week, the Start of Another...

This is a summary of what happened today and lately, I guess....

Goodness gracious, another week has already passed by! And next week, I have more exams to come!

So, lately, I’ve been despising Science a lot like usual, loving Maths + dying at the sheer uber-ultra easiness of it, at a war between like-n-dislike with English, loving the teacher + actually failing at the subject in SOSE, enjoying and working hard in ICT since it’s quite interesting, slacking off like usual in Italian, trying to catch up + go ahead, if possible in Japanese, hating and despising and slacking off at Work Education like usual, and ma’ violin neglected in the corner of my mind somewhere, like always.

I’ll have to try my best in catching up in 15 weeks’ worth of work in Japanese – I actually don’t have to do all of the tasks from the very start of the term, but I will! Because I’d feel unfair to the other students, and it’s better for me to learn this way. :)

Presently, my mind is in a weird sort of state – it’s extremely laggy, tired, and considerately depressed deep inside, but in my conscious, I’m not in a state of depression. My mind’s too occupied for such things… no, I’m just too busy for such things! I don’t have time to waste with more pointless moping!

But, but, my desire to die has not decreased at all! Oh well, wanting to die isn’t such a big deal.

Now, you know how in the above I have stated that I’m loving the teacher in SOSE? :P

B-sensei is awesome; you never really learn what you need to know, but you learn lots of other things instead, and you’d rarely ever need a pen or pencil in his classes.

At the moment we’re studying the History and Geography of Diseases.

And somehow we ended up discussing – well, B-sensei ended up talking to us about, “how our generation is the first generation to not be able to cope with death.” To him, he’d said, that death is just normal, an everyday life thing. He said that our generation is the first to have counsellors and such come to the school if someone here dies. He also said that he couldn’t understand why we’re so upset and can’t cope when someone dies.

I don’t disagree with him at all, except I think that the reason that our generation is unused to death is because we grew up in the era of development in where medical science has improved vastly. So that means less deaths occurs, and we who grows up in the middle-class society doesn’t see much of it no longer, and aren’t immune like the older generations.

Quoting B-sensei, “The risk attached to loving someone is to know that they’ll have to die someday.”

And according to him, “Deaths and taxes are the only things we cannot avoid.” XD Ahahaha, lol.

Also, earlier today, a new takeaway menu arrived at the restaurant – the “prototype” anyway.

The front page looks terrible, and so does a few more things (the text inside has been enlarged though, compared to the current one). :/ Who the hell designed it??

But the thing that’d caught my attention the most was this big line on the front page, “The Best Thai Restaurant in [ENTER SUBURB NAME HERE].”

I was like, DDD8!!! They… They have such nerves to use such a line! How!? How did they come up with this idea!? How shameless must they be to be able to use this line to associate with our restaurant!? I mean, I’d have had no problems if they’d used the word “food” instead of “restaurant”, because our food really is awesome, but, the word is not “food”!!

I decided to not use them unless totally necessary; I refuse to let them out into the outside world! ><

Also, we got a complainer. A weird one.

This woman called approx. one hour after she’d left the restaurant – to complain about the table she’d been seated on! She complained that the table was not to her liking (but a lot of other customers really like that table).

Da hell? Ain’t it a little late to be saying that?

I hear she sounded drunk, too.

After my boss had hanged up, I asked her what it was about, exactly. Deducting from hearing only one part of a conversation doesn’t always result in a precise answer, after all…

She said that the customer had complained that one of our waitresses didn’t understand what she’d been trying to say and weren’t able to communicate, etc. etc. (she also complained about the table, though, but this waitress was also the one who’d seated her, I’d think)

Then at that very moment when my boss had relayed to me the customer’s complaints, that very waitress walked by and decided to play with my hair. =*=

…I think she was trying to get herself fired.

Well, she didn’t understand what we were saying, of course, since we were speaking in Thai, but the boss was standing right in front of me, so if she had enough common sense, she wouldn’t do that in the first place!!!

And once again, for some reason, I want to sleep. And it’s barely 10 o’clock. My usual bedtime is at midnight, and even then I’d usually – almost every day – still be feeling quite awake.

But yesterday I actually went to bed at 11.20pm, 40 minutes later than usual. I was actually yawning, at that time of the day!

I wonder if it was because I was feeling bored, though… :/

Hmm… since I’ve had this same schedule (work 5 days at night, + Sunday lunch, go to school, etc) for a while now, I shouldn’t suddenly become tired so quickly…

Dammit, it’s annoying. =*=
