Last week we had to do subject reports. That was pretty stressful and I got tired and grumpy. They got happily handed in on Thursday. This week we must read all the subject reports for our form classes and then do a form teacher report where we roughly sum up the other reports and also state any activities the students do and how their attendance and uniform is. buh.
The extra stressful thing about the whole process is that you read other people's reports and if you find anything wrong they have to be sent back!!! I don't mind getting mine back. I'm quick at fixing and returning them, but others are not so happy about it. Most people are cool tho and it is good to get them right.
Instead of doing my reports I have decided to blog instead. People read my blog and comment on it. This makes me happy and feel connected to others, even tho I might not be seeing them much. Sometimes I feel guilty about not seeing friends as much as I should. But the effort!!! Also I am tired and busy with school and other stuff alot.
Another thing is that it is difficult to get organised to do something that doesn't cost money. I know we used to do it all the time at highschool and at Uni. Hanging out and not spending. But it doesn't seem to happen so much now. It's often meet to eat (at a restaurant or even just takeaways, not so much the being fed by people at their homes, that costs them anyway) meet and drink (and I do like the cocktails), meet and shop, meet and watch (movies or rented vids, sometimes will get together to watch a DVD that someone owns, but they can lend it to you too, so less need to get in a big group to watch).
I think another reason why it happens less is that the number of my friends has basically doubled since highschool. Mainly because of boy/girl friends. Someone that you might not actually be friends with (altho some are now). If you invite one, you must invite another. This means what used to be me and a couple of buddies hanging out has morphed into 6 people and trying to organise something they might all enjoy can be a pain. If the partners don't come then you or they can feel a bit guilty. Especially if you know they are just sitting at home.... alone. Nevermind that they might be perfectly happy!
I only see Beau about 3-4 days of the week. We don't live together and that's how it is. Considering we don't live together we actually spend A LOT of time together. However, if something happens in the weekend so that we don't get to see each other, then we are only seeing each other once a week. That is only a little time to spend with each other and it's a weekday and that means tired-from-school-Giffy and can't-stay-over-Beau which means I'll see him for little over 3 hours. Anyway, today is one of the days I should see him, but I doooo have to do reports. I hope there is time for a hug!
