Show me the Bubbles!
I've given you everything.
Why won't you give in already?
What more do you want.
I mean, I've given you sunlight and water.
I've practically drowned you in sodium bicarbonate.
BUBBLE already.
I have an urge to burn you when I'm done with you,
you stubborn dumbass of an elodea plant.
Dr Hjorth was right. Never in my life have I stared so long and hard at a plant. Bio practicals are so useless and time consuming.
I think I'm way too impatient to become a scientist.

no, life isn't literature.
If life were a literary work,
We'd analyze every word spoken, every action taken.
We'd think about every move because everything would have to have meaning.
What if we over interpreted the subtle nuances of life, and we were wrong?
Life would just be an endless complication.
Just let things be, and everything will fall into place with time.

Kindergarten Never Ends.
It's funny how the dynamics of friendship can change so erratically.
The Gruesome Threesome: Dynamics of Friendship Trios
When I was in grade five, I hung around with two close friends, Sophia and Diane. But it would be misleading to say we got along. Most often, it was two against one. On one occasion, Diane and I formed an alliance for two weeks, leaving Sophia on the sidelines at recess. Then Sophia and I got back together. To emphasize the point to Diane, I wrote her a nasty letter and put it in her locker. I still remember how it began: Dear Diane: I hate you. Sophia can’t stand to look at you...
Sooner or later, most children find their way into such threesomes — and into the drama and tears they spawn.
“Some triangles thrive and survive.” That said, Lynn and other experts acknowledge the triangle’s inherent vulnerability. Just what is it about three that brings out the monster in children? “The most basic human relationships — husband and wife, parent and child — involve two people,” says Wolkoff. “We’re wired for dyadic relationships. Adding a third person makes it 10 times harder to keep everybody happy.”
I want to thrive and survive.

Happy V Day. or not.
shit. I'm sick again. Twice in a row.
I swear IB is killing my immune system.
Anyway, Valentines proved to be an..interesting experience.
It was very M18. And I'm not even referring to the movie.
Before the movie we took the lift up to the theatre, and we spotted this woman with her boob hanging out of her shirt. I mean seriously. If the shirt is too big/low-cut for you, DON'T wear it. Spare us the mental scarring please. So when we saw, we were either laughing in embarrassed pity for her, or cringing in horror. What I don't get is why her friend beside her didn't mention it.
Sigh.

AAAAAAHHH!
"Tips to help your child sail through school
1) Don't fast track your child"
I was put into school a year earlier than I needed to be because I was born on the 1st of January.
I was fast tracked.
"Research shows that the youngest members of each cohort are less likely to go to university."
O.M.G.
A choice I never made could possibly have changed my life.
