..I didn't even get to label the heart or the body's main muscles or the skeletal system or the spinal chord sections. I actually wanted all the more complex and biological aspects to appear on this exam paper, since I'd spent the whole day re-drawing/labelling exactly that, but there was nothing. "Nothing?" P.E teacher asks. Yes - nothing. Bummer.
Last night was quite unheard of, I'm sure of it. I saw a heap of inspiration in Tesco. Yes, really. The store is changing. There are no longer the really friendly adults working on the till, that make genuine conversation with not only the parent but the child they brought with them to assist them in packing the bags (thanks Dad). Although, that would be an 'unfair test', because this is Waitrose I am referring to. Yet, I'm sure today they also see the problem of newly-employed girls that spend more time fixing their fringes and looking out for their few hot male co-workers, than scanning your items or being helpful in anyway. Hm. It's also become more apparent that, despite all the trolley parking zones that I think reach zone D, people find it too tiring to even attempt to return the trolleys to any helpful location. I'm one of the few (not that I ever see anyone do the same, I've only judged by seeing the three, maybe four other trolleys in the now very open space of the trolley parking zone) that puts the trolley I used into the allocated area. Like, I'm sixteen - why should I even care to do so? But when you see thirty-somethings leaving them in the pathway that's just wide enough to fit a wheelchair or buggy through, you wonder and hope that your own maturity and respect is appreciated. And if not you ask why you bother going the extra mile... Well, 20 steps, say.
But then sometimes I can be so care-free. Sometimes I think, 'what the fuck' - as in, 'sure, why not' kind of 'what the fuck'. That can be nice though. Not caring that your hair may lose its fixed position, or your feet may lose their feeling until you return home early the next morning. Just go with it, I tell myself - it's fun.
