I'm getting behind on my posts. Haha. Guess I've been distracted by people.
Yesterday was really fun, except for a couple parts. I woke up around nine to finish my calculus homework and my mom dropped me off at school around 11:30, where Alexa met us at the front to put her stuff for that night into the back of the van. She talked to my mom for a little while I got my stuff out. A couple of my other friends were there and we got to talking. Then mom left and Alexa, Alex, and I headed toward the Humanities room to get warm. This was during lunch, which was kind of boring.
After lunch I had calculus and we had a sub. I don't remember his name, but he was absolutely fantastic. He basically made the first semester make more sense than Rosales ever had. I was in shock at how much he made things so simple. Plus, he did the hardest math problem with us, which was a big relief because I could understand it a lot better. I left class a very happy person.
When calc finished I made my way to choir. Class was pretty easy since we mostly reviewed songs. At one point Mariah and Nicole came in to give Choir and Chamber Singers these survey things since they're doing the Choir page in the yearbook. I filled out the questions as honestly as I could.
Thankfully school ended quickly and Alexa, Danielle, and I got into my mom's car to go on a shopping trip. I was having a good day until this part. We headed to Burlington Coat Factory to get me a new coat because my mom hates the one I have now; she says I look like a homeless person. I didn't mind it before, until Danielle and Alexa started getting on my case about it. I felt like I was on "What Not To Wear" and it wasn't a good feeling. All three of them were making fun of me and my jacket and they kept telling me that they wanted to dress me better, which really hurt my feelings. We hadn't even left the store and I felt like crying.
Then we headed to Target and by this time I had just decided not to acknowledge them at all. I kept quiet and listened to my iPod instead. We got to the mall looking for coats still and my mood lifted a tiny bit when I saw this fur one that was nice -- even though it made me look like a pimp. It was very amusing.
Then my mom wanted to get me boots, so we went to this one shoe store and my feet were hurting pretty bad and I just wanted to go home. I finally complained enough to get my mom to leave, but on the way back to the car we got into a huge argument about the way I dress.
My mom has a big problem with the way I dress. If she doesn't like something that I wear she insists on buying me something that's more fashionable. Personally, I could care less on how I look, but my mom gets pushy and mean about it and she makes me feel like crap. The matter wasn't settled either, because I still feel like that.
I mean, I don't mind when my mom wants to go shopping, but when it turns into an issue on how I dress I get upset. She got really mad at me when we got home and she screamed at me, "Fine! Go in whatever you want. It's over with!" I very much felt like crying. I just can't understand why my mom won't accept the way I dress. I don't understand why my friends can't accept the way I dress.
Does my appearance really bother you people that much? Because if it does then you've got your priorities really mixed up. If you're my friend and have issues with how I dress then you can simply leave. End of story.
Anyway, before I start crying right now just thinking about it, I'll go on. After the shopping trip, my mom brought us all home and Alexa, Danielle, and I ate food. I was so hungry. We watched TV and I fell asleep, and when I woke up the three of us walked to Safeway to get goodies. Everything was fine after that.
Once we got home we just talked about all kinds of things. We had to be very quiet most of the time to have some privacy, but it was fun. We stayed up until around two, then I fell asleep on my bed.
Well, now that I've finished with yesterday I'll end this post, and hopefully I'll be able to blog about today in a little while before I go to sleep. Toodles.
I'm sorry that you are having such issues with the clothes you wear.
ReplyDeleteI think it's most important that you stay true to who you are, and it's a good thing that you stood up for yourself. Don't be ashamed of the way you dress - it's the person inside that matters most.
On a happier note, your posts are helping me feel more in touch with you, which is great. :)
I see what your school life is like for example. Oh by the way, I'm glad you got some help in Calculus. :) Hope your overall experience with it is much better than mine.
Anyhoos, keep it up! Hope you do write another, I'll read it as well. :]
Toodles. ;D
i really dont care how you dress. Your my friend and i dont really care about how you look. If your happy rachelle then your good rachelle
ReplyDeleteI really don't care how you dress, I was just playing--I guess I got too caught up in dress up. I'm sorry. I like your puffy jacket and I don't really care how you dress. I don't want to just leave, your my best friend, and I'm sorry I was so insensitive.
ReplyDeleteGreat thing about where I am, is I can't even see how you dress, so there is now way I could pass judgement!
