June 11 Uniformity..Generally, when your going to a new school.. or going to school.. People tell you to "Be yourself"..
But, most schools don't like us being ourselves.. do they?
They belive in "Uniformity".. where you alal the wear similar uniforms.. have to have your hair neatly combed.. Only one earing.. yada yada yada..
Whats "yourself" about that..
IF, your the kinda' person who wears torn clothes and had wild pink hair.. so be it.. Its ALL you!
Bu-ut.. NO!
They HAVE to have it their way.. You have to be yourself.. but with a zillion restrictions..
I just don't understand it..
They usually have three reasons..
a)Uniformity
b)So that everyone is at an equal level
c)Its to prevent distractions..
bu-but.. In case "a".. You will have differnece anywya.. in size, shape,, etc etc..
In case "b".. you can always show how rich you are.. by carrying an expensive bag waterbottle.. etc.. IF they go to the extreme of making 'em uniform too.. Then ther's always.. things like umm.. cosmetics and stuff..
Case "c".. even an ant can distract you.. soo umm.. Is having an ant in the class room against the rules..
It all just comes down to control..
They people want to have a sense of "Control" Over us.. which is pathetic.. and sad..
June 06 Welcome back to the grind..Another academic year begins..
Tomorrow another year, another set of books to study..
In a new school, a new enviroment.. new friends, new people, new teachers, new rules..
Its a completely different ball game.
My old school.. Good Shepherd, started today.. and when I saw all these kids in that horrid tablecloth we called a skirt and rag called a shirt walking into the school.. I was filled with pleasure to see those poor souls, about to suffer another year of contant torture.. Its vindictive pleasure.. but no one can judge me, I have after all spent 12 precious years of my life in that school, 12 irritating and unhappy years.. Never once have I wanted to go back there.. and this year.. there is no need!
I am officially a Lady Andal student..
Yes, I'm nervous.. nervous enough to pee in my pants.. but, I always have the confidence that NO school can eveer be another GS.
I think I've finally found a school where I'm gonna actually fit in.. and not be the geek/freak.. a commoner no one remmebers.. except when they need someone to draw something for them.. I'm pretty happy actually..
This is the first time in my life that I'm gonna go to a school without any worries.. (Like, the quetion whether they had given us homework for the holidays, IF they had.. what was it)
I don't want to get my hopes up.. cause no matter what I say or do.. Reality is never even remotely as good as Imagination..
I keep saying my imagination is my USP.. It is, But sometime it can really mislead me.. there are times when I'm not sure when I'm imagining or its whats really happening, I have to watch out about this.. I know.. But I guess its kinda cool.
Yeah, inspite of being happy about changing schools, I'm still freaking out, what if I never make any new friends.. I don't know.. I'm just nervous..
Lets just hope.. everything works out for the best!
June 01 *grin*The saying goes.. "you can judge a man, by the company he keeps" Or something close to that.. But I've been wondering.. can you really?
I mean.. see.. If I had a really wild friend who got drunk and slept with her cousin.. it dosen't mean I do that too.. does it?!
NO!
Just cause she's wild dosen't mean I am.. ..I just like having a friend who is the complete opposite of everything I am..
Its just funnn.. and a real personality check..
My grandmom use to tell me to stop talking to my best friend at the time "P" cause she thought she ahd a "BAD charecter" and kept telling me that if someone knew that she was my friend.. they'd think that I was excatly like her..
But I didn't see why she meant that.. we're were very different..
And because of her constant pushing and her general attitude.. I guess I lost a really good friend.. for which I'm paying now..
I don't know why.. but I just felt like blogging about it.. I tend to do that when I'm pissed off with a person..
On a lighter note..I've been really happy for the past weeks..
Inspite of my horrid results yesterday.. I mean..Its okay, even though I didn't do as well as expected.. I still tried my best and its the effort that matteres..right?!
Okay, I've been really happy.. and I won't say why on this particular blog.. Don't know why.. but all the important people in my life know why..
AND..
Shrija is back in India/Chennai..
YiPeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
