Random Thoughts/Things?
I wasn’t really sure what to call this thread, but I’ve had this idea floating around in my head for awhile now. Basically, anyone can post anything here. Any random thought you have, any random thing that happens to you, any random question that pops into your mind. Have fun, and don’t be afraid to be random.

It's funny how everyone is starting to go back to in-person learning, and then there's me, who's been in-person since October due to my tiny town.

Yeah, I know! I'm kinda the opposite though: I'll be DLing (digital learning) until next year, so it is interesting to hear tales from the in-person! Today, I had to tell one of my teachers that she couldn't be on two Zooms at the same time XD. You never know what to expect with my digital class!

I want to keep watching gravity falls but I'll be so sad when it's done

Thank you Silver Crystal :)) and I hope it went well, Leo and Honey! My day went pretty well. It was really weird to be back in person, but less so because we had to go in for state testing the last couple of weeks anyway. Getting ready on time to go to school was a little rough, and there are still a bunch of things I need to figure out but overall it was good :D seeing people was really nice. And plus I was more productive than usual!

I'm glad that it went well for you, Starchaser! I haven't actually gone back, but I will on May 10th. I guess I still have a few weeks to worry about it though. :<
Speaking of school, I had a dream about going back to school but it was so wierd. Especially since the school in my dream matched up with another dream about school that I had. It's like I have a whole different school universe in my mind. Maybe I should write it down.

Good news everyone!! I'm going back to in-person school! For half of a day. Per week. But still, Tuesday afternoons are bettter than nothing, right? Right??
(April 19, 2021 - 9:16 pm)
That is better than nothing! Personally, I kind of wish I only went in person for a day or two a week, because I love people and I'm more productive in person but also I find it's a lot more draining than being online and getting up early is very meh. You might not feel the same though :P

on a more serious/sadder note
i think my friend's mad at me and i don't know why? like she's only texted me to ask for last names of people she's inviting to her bat mitzvah.
and every time i ask if i can facetime her she changes the subject, doesn't respond (and leaves me with a read receipt, so i know she saw it) or has to go do something.
she's been my best friend since kindergarten, and i don't actually know what i did and i don't want to ask her if she's upset about something in case she's actually not
we don't go to the same school anymore and so i literally don't see her at all except for on facetime, and i'm worried we've both changed so much we aren't friends anymore...
and i recently discovered i no longer can talk to people without being painfully awkward
so that's great. i hate covid. i'm so tired of staring at a screen for what feels like 24/7. i'm so tired at only being able to see people in tiny zoom screens and i'm so tired of not being able to concentrate.
ugh i just want to sit here and write and listen to cavetown XD i want social interaction, but then when i have an opportunity to actually get social interaction i become an antisocial introvert who can't do anything un-awkwardly to save her life
i really just want covid to be over to be honest. i feel like i was fine for most of it but right now i just really, really wish that the pandemic never happened and i could've just experienced sixth grade normally.
it's almost over so i don't know why i'm freaking out now but i am and at this point i have a hard time believing it's ever going to be normal again, and i hate that.
*bangs head on keyboard* sorry for dumping on you, if you read through that, wow, thanks. *takes a sip of positivitea* part of me knows it's going to be fine. ish. the amount of not fine it is right now is kind of crazy, but. you know. all of us are figuring it out...
(April 20, 2021 - 10:58 am)
Oh wow, I felt this so much. I honestly am going through the exact same thing (except for the going back to school thing and the thing with your friend) <3333
I did go through the friend thing around last fall/winter, and boy does it hurt. I guess my advice is to A) communicate! I know it might be hard to say things, but it's so much easier if you're on the same term and know you're not doing anything wrong.
And B) if it turns out that she's really growing apart from you, just remember that that's on her. If she abandons you, that's her choice, and you have other people to fall back to especially now that you're in school (luckyyy). (PS I know very little about your experience, I'm just speaking from my experience!)
(April 20, 2021 - 3:27 pm)
Thank you so much, Aza! It turned out she was just busy, so I'm really glad I reached out :)
I'm so sorry you had to go through this as well. *hugs* It'll get better soon, I hope <3
(April 21, 2021 - 5:08 pm)
*gives lumi a huge hug*
Yay for the school thing! I'm super happy for you <33 And I'm sorry about your best friend. I don't really know if I have any advice, since I've only had one best friend and she's also my crush so that's super weird, but maybe try to communicate? I know it's painful when someone seems to be slipping away from you.
Some things you could say:
"Hi, it kind of feels like you're avoiding me. Is there anything I'm doing wrong?
"Hey, [best friend's name], I really miss you. We haven't been talking to each other recently. Is something wrong? I'd love to chat if you have time!
"I honestly hate the pandemic. I feel like we're being torn apart by distance and I want it to end. Is there any way we could talk soon?"
"Hey! How have you been doing? I haven't talked to you in a while."
...or something like that *shrugs* like i said, i'm not the best at this. I hope you figure things out with her!
*gives lumi a hundred cookies and jumps out the window*
(April 21, 2021 - 10:24 am)
*accepts hug and cookies*
Thank you so much, dreamii :) I did that just now. That's actually really good advice, thank you so much. I went to school for the first time irl today and that was pretty awesome, so I'm feeling really brave right now XD
She texted me back and it turns out she was just busy. *sigh of relief*
AnYwAyS, the more pReSsInG matter-
I MISSED YOU! *tackle hugs* so glad you're back :)
