   WWAAAAHHHH!!!! I GOT 3RD PLACE!!!!
Hey, everybody... I can't believe the day I had!!! Today was the culmination of my summer class. We had it held at a mall. Unfortunately, I had to make my own oratorical piece which is SO NOT fair 'coz the other contestants didn't have to. They'd just pick a piece out of some book andmemorize it while I had to struggle with making my own. The topic of my piece was SO lousy!!! GIFTEDNESS?! My Englih teacher chose the topic... WAAAHHH!!!! That's NOT all! While I was changing for the oration, the contest had already started and I was contestant no.1!!!! Somehow they changed the schedule of the program and NO ONE even bothered to TELL ME!!! Although I got there 1-2 minutes after it started one of the teachers was still pissed at me. I hate it when people are angry at me and that kind of zones me out... So I presented my speech really really bad 'coz all I kept thinking was why she was pissed at me. I mean, it wasn't MY FAULT that I was a bit late. Man... When I sa down on the stage as the others presented I felt SO MUCH like crying! I tried to control myself but my friends saw me and they were all worried that I might go hysterical and cry on the stage right then and there while in front of a huge crowd... Like I'd ever be insane enough to do that. (Unless, you know I'm supposed to cry...) Anyways, after that I went over to my friends and they were all worried and going " Kaye, are you okay?" One of them grabbed my arm and I told her "Don't touch me." and i walked away just like that. Went to the mall's comfort room and changed. Cried there but I was interrupted by my mom and my two best friends. Apparently they told her that I was crying... After that I spent a good 10 minutes of moping around then I sat with my friends (who were still worried about me even though I was kind of mean to them... They are SUCH good friends.)and drew on my sketch pad. Drawing always calms me down and I'm pretty much good at it... It was the right thing to do apparently, 'coz passers - by and those sitting next to me kept giving me compliments (which I totally needed 'coz it gave me a confidence boost after my not so appealing presentation.) When the awarding came guess who won last place? Me... Whatever... Then, there's the good side. I found out today that I AM TOTALLY BLESSED!!! Why? Because I have such nice, wonderful, optimistic and caring friends! :-)
