My first day back in school was today, after nearly a full week of absence due to a pretty nasty virus. My first class was English, and the teacher asked out of curiosity if I had read up to date on our work. I replied that I'd read ahead before being ill, but had been too sick to do anything really. Quick as a flash this girl darts around and goes,
"WELL, I was sick too, but I got it done. What's your excuse?". The teacher and a few other students jumped to my defense, but this girl has a history of being quite unkind and trying to embarrass me/make me look lazy and stupid in front of other people for no reason really.
At the end of my school day, I had a surprise test, with three more over the next three days, and over 7 essays and 3 competitions I have to enter, all but one due by tomorrow or Monday. I stayed up for hours working away on all of this, including my missed work, and still haven't finished each one. Thank goodness two teachers have given me an extension on work or I'd have even less time to sleep.
Later on my friend said my hair looked crappy, before I said I had to cut it myself. I actually got a few compliments on it, which was good, but it was still annoying. He doesn't realise I 1. don't have the money for a haircut and 2. don't have permission to get it cut since I "don't pass as male at all and a barber won't take me" according to my mother. She's really been drilling in that I don't pass lately and it's beginning to really get to me... Either way, I spent 3~ hours cutting my hair to simply avoid him complaining about it and to relieve the dysphoria.
