Reasons I'm Much Less Than Content Right Now

1. My parents won't stop stressing out about next year's schedule. "How will you get to Seminary? Where will you go to Seminary? Who will take you? Does that work with Ariel's schedule? Can you get to Speech and Debate on time? What should we do? What do you have time for? How do we fit seminary, forensics, school, violin, piano, volleyball and Mutual in?" Argh. We can't decide anything now; we don't have enough information yet.

2. I'm surrounded by Ariel's junk even though I just cleaned the house. She has a room for a reason, why can't she put her stuff there?

3. Mum isn't feeling well and since she's stressing out about my schedule she won't rest and will consequentially get pnemonia. This will mean that Dad will freak out and that I will have to help Ariel with everything, make sure Mom rests when she doesn't want to and run everything.

4. I'm exhausted from yesterday and can't sleep.

5. I haven't done anything to get ready for school other than summer reading.

6. This computer never works.

7. I'm hungry.

8. Everyone's stressed out and it's all because of me.

9. My neck hurts.

10. I still have to practice piano.

11. I feel like I'm getting blamed for everything.

12. I hate being the youngest. Everyone's learning how to drive and stuff; I've got more than a year before I get my permit. Everyone's going to college while I stay here and start high school.

13. Ariel won't shut up.

14. My Sunday School class is awful. The boys never shut up, they're always making really immature and often rude remarks, they're loud, they're overly-competitive, one always has to be right and better than you and he always makes irrelevant comments that are annoying, and the teacher didn't even show up today.

15. Ariel still won't shut up.

16. This screen keeps flickering.

17. I sound like a self-centered, spoiled little brat in this post! Agh, I hate it when you try to vent and just end up sounding like a lazy, ungrateful, intolerant little git. Like I do here. Ugh.

Mo, you don't sound lazy and ungrateful, you just sound burned out. Tell your mom that you need a break for a while - even just an hour. Go take a walk or bike ride, or watch a movie or call a friend. Do something for you. Hope you feel better!

Kenz said...

Seminary??? What?

Kelsey said...

Yeah, haven't u heard? She's becoming a priest. Jk.

Moriah, STOP BEING SO SELF CRITICAL!!! If one is a self-centered, spoiled little brat just for being grumpy and frustrated with life in general on occasion, then what does that make every single person on Earth? I'm sorry that you're feeling unhappy, but that's no excuse for being so hard on yourself! I'll stop cyber-yelling at you now so that you can realize that you are a wonderful person who is very kind, generous, and thoughtful, and not a single one of those words you used to describe yourself. Oh, and by the way, this comment isn't meant to tell you that you can't complain sometimes, because you're definately allowed to do that. It's to tell you that you shouldn't feel so guilty about being grumpy! Rant over.

Kelsey- Thanks. I climbed a tree and read Harry Potter.

Kenz- In my church, high school students go to a class like Sunday school, but during the week, usually before school.

Kelsey- Not quite.

U.C.1- Uh, thanks? I think? I'll work on not being self-critical.

Kenz said...

Roo said...

Kelsey said...

Kenz said...

Roo said...

Kenz said...
