okay so wow lot happened today

FIRST THING
it was a normal day at school until 5th period. so we get to our adv english class and our teacher, who we'll call mrs byrd, isnt sitting outside her door waiting foe us like she usually is.

you should prob know that mrs byrd is 60+ years old, has been teaching 22 years, and has awards on a national level for being such a great teacher. she's very helpful. almost to the point where she'll do your work for you. she's very informative and insightful. and as stereotypical for english teachers, she's a little crazy,,,, but like an entertaining kind of crazy

well, our senior class this year SUCKS. there are good people, yes, but they're too quiet or too lazy to be good leaders. so naturally, the loud-mouthed, disrespectful, and just downright awful kids rise to the top as the "leaders" for their class.

mrs byrd has a majority of all the rude kids for her 4th period, and they've given her a lot of trouble. today, she talked about how she might give them an essay for an exam (and as a teacher, she can do whatever she wants) and one of the kids said "if you do that i'm gonna beat your ass"

and our principal (who is like my dad) was walking into her classroom to talk to them when the rest of my class (5th period bell has already rung) showed up. then we see mrs byrd leave her classroom CRYING. at this point im livid because that was gonna be mrs byrd's last legit day at school because she's retiring

eventually, the senior class leaves and we go in the classroom. our principal talks to us, fills us in on what happened, and just talks to us a little bit about how we need to be the ones to step up. mrs byrd (who is super distraught) comes back in during his speech, then slams her hand on her desk and walked out again because she couldnt stop crying.

and at this point me and another girl are silently crying bc i feel so bad for her.

so we decided to make her day better.

while we watched a movie, another girl wrote a super sweet note and we all signed it, and we gave it to mrs byrd at the end of class. she read it, cried happy tears, and told us that we were the reason she stayed so long she did.

remember, hate ricochets. but so does love. ((:

SECOND THING
i broke up w/ my boyfriend.

there were several reasons i did what i did, but he just looked so defeated. and i didnt shed a tear until he insisted on walking me to my car and opening the door for me like he always does.

but i know that this was the right thing for me to do. it won't be easy for either us, but there was no point in delaying it.

and plus i already feel lighter. like a weight has been lifted. it's nice !!

THIRD THING

nothing exciting or no drama. i did help set up prom tho. for 8 hours. i got to talk to some kids i hadnt really met before, so that was cool. and when i drove home, i blasted some rock music and stuck my hand through the drop-down roof thing and sang at the top of my lungs. that's such a good feeling. especially when it's super late at night and there's no one else on any roads

FOURTH THING
okay so im telling you guys this just so i can end on a happy note,, i hate people who do this kind of stuff just to brag about it and im def not that person.

but about midway through the eight hours i was at the school helping set up for prom, this senior (he wasn't in the group that broke mrs byrd. he's a genuinely good guy and friend) named freddy (not really but for the sake of his privacy) was like "hey rambler can you go to the gas station and get me some food and fill up my gas?? but only $5 worth of gas cause that's all i have"

so i went to the gas station (i looked like a drunk idiot because i got situated with the gas pump on the wrong side TWICE lolol) and paid for a full tank of gas and some food for him and didnt tell him that i didnt use his money

so he went to his car and came back with tears in his eyes and we was like "holy crap rambler you're the best. thank you" and honestly i live for brightening other people's lives like that. it made me so so happy (,:

but anyways, i hope you guys are having a nice day. i love ya, and remember to be kind. always, always, always choose to be kind.

xoxo,
