wine and cheap perfume


Lets recap on the most mind boggling day I have ever had, ever.

 

1.     Wake up late
2.     government paper refuses to print…meaning I could potentially fail the class and not graduate
3.     lie to the nurse and tell her that I am eighteen so that I can get an off grounds pass for senior ditch day….i am only 17 and ¾
4.     go to breakfast with people I hate and see the tallest woman I have ever seen
5.     to home to clean my room, but I end up watching the bachelorette and eating Swedish fish
6.     find out that the ritzy  hair salon I am getting my prom hair done at is going to charge me 100 fucking dollars…and Audrey isn’t paying.
7.     Go back to school to work on the last thing I will ever do for the drama department.
8.     Get my nails done at some new hip place with the lamest name ever. I see some girl who I was best friends with freshman year, she acts like she has no idea who I am, nice.
9.     Go home to try to clean some more. Watch some more bachelorette.
10. Decide to try on my prom shoes and walk around in them
11. Stumble upon my mom listening to a voice mail from my English teacher
12. Note to self: never make photocopies of class notes and lend them to a “friend” to copy…because that friend could just turn in your notes in our eight hundred point notebook saying they are hers which ends up in YOU receiving an ethics violation on your personal record, and a failure notice from one of your only two required classes to graduate.
13. FREAK THE FUCK OUT. Because now I might not graduate and I also might not go to college because I have a cheating penalty on my record. sweet. just what i wanted.
14. Get yelled at and grounded by Audrey…never fun.
15. Pam Jennings calls me back and tells me that I should come to school right now (6:00 pm) to discuss this situation.
16. I go. I cry. I apologize. I cry. I cry. I explain. I cry….and I RARELY cry. Fuck.  She tells me that I will prob just get a C or a D and have to do Saturday school, but I MIGHT still be able to graduate.
17. I go home and report to Audrey.  She guilt trips me and tells me how my actions have led her to feel like a failure as a parent. She brings up a sore subject and cries. I begrudgingly hug her.
18. Ten minutes later she tells me that bath and body works is hiring and I need to get dressed and do my makeup and go apply. So I do.  
19. I come home to find her and four of her friends getting drunk by the fireplace. She invites me to join.
20.  I join and they give me martinis.
21. I forget that I have job training tomorrow for fucking beach camp.
22. I write this.

 

Welcome to my life.

Fun stuff.
