Lonely is my middle name

So, I haven't done one of these posts in a while...but man...is life a big mess right now. To begin with, I got back the results of my French proficiency test and just as expected, I did not manage to get a 75% in all the strands (listening, reading, writing, speaking). What a freakin' surprise. 75%...you don't say! I feel like cursing everyone who came up with this dumb rule, but in some ways, I guess it makes sense. It just demotivated me when I first saw it...failure always sucks, regardless of how you feel about it down the road, that moment when you get the results, and they're not what you hoped they would be...failure always sucks. But I moved on from that, just gotta try again. Furthermore, after about 3 months of searching for a job, I finally got one at Mcds. I know, I know, it's Mcd's. But seriously, a job is a job. I just wish my wonderful significant other would be nice about it. Speaking of, turbulence there is in the relationship. Yes, I just pulled a Yoda. Honestly, I can't handle it sometimes. He makes me feel so bad for expecting things from him. And I just want him to talk to me, to carry out a proper conversation with me. He does this thing where he can't manage anything in his life and then wants me to be understanding of his situation. Which I am, but to an extent. And when someone makes fun of my crying voice, well that's probably the last straw. Because in my opinion, when your girlfriend is crying on the phone, you don't tell her that she's crying because she's a woman, and you definitely don't imitate her voice when she's hurting. *sigh* I became so angry, words cannot explain. Pressing the 'end call' button on my phone seemed like an innate reflex at that point. And I never said anything after that. I don't know if he's going to say something but I don't wish to say anything. Then again, I don't know what he's thinking. Sometimes, I feel like he isn't the right guy for me. Like I could be with someone else who's a bit older than me, comes from a similar family background, is well-educated with a good job. And you know, I'm with him because I love him so very much. But if he can't meet my expectations then maybe that says something. I just don't know :(

Impressions

First impressions are undoubtedly very important. I mean, I find myself in a career where I need to go into the classroom with confidence and a glowing attitude or else my students will walk all over me and take advantage. And God only knows that I don’t want to be a doormat again (this ain’t London). I know that in a classroom, it’s not about being aggressive, rather assertive . That is the first impression I want to be able to depict to my students right from the get-go. Because let’s be honest, I still feel like a little girl (thank you petite-ness). Any important situation whether we’re at an interview, at a party or meeting our work team, the first impressions are so important and most of the times spot-on. Of course, you shouldn’t just judge someone on their first impression if it wasn’t the best, give them that benefit of the doubt. One feels more comfortable judging after they get to know someone. I mean, the truth is that you can’t live your life without being judged, t...

Thank you for the lesson

  A long time ago I came across some words of wisdom which explained the importance of forgiveness. At that stage in my life, I was completely anti forgiveness. I still understand why, and though I’d like to say my views on said topic have changed, I’d be slightly lying. I’m very good at blocking things out of my life, that’s how I cope. But every once in a blue moon, you get an unnecessary, by chance reminder. And it kinda takes you to mental head space you had kept far away. A few (many) words that I want to say to my past self; “You knew better. How could you allow it time after time? You wasted your time investing energy and effort into a dead end. Feels dumb doesn’t it? Everything that was said, was said to break you, all excuses, immaturity and white noise. Realize it and understand. Not everyone you meet will have good intentions and true sentiments. Life becomes easier when you learn to accept the apologies you’ve never gotten. Don’t free the criminal from the crime, just f...
