Rezza has gotten on my nerves yet again. Our essay question today: To illustrate flashbulb memory, what were you doing on 8-29-05? First of all, that date means nothing to me. There are dates that I know by heart, but I know them simply because I won't let myself forget. Ever. So, I asked her what it was. She wouldn't tell me. She said it should be burned in our brains. 5 minutes later, I remembered, oh yea, hurricane. But I don't remember what I was doing! I don't even know where I was, let alone what I was doing, besides worrying myself to death! I didn't care. That day had no meaning for me. After 9th grade, I stopped caring. It didn't matter what happened to me. So the hurricane didn't impress any memories on me at all. I remember the B2SD vividly, but after that, nothing really stuck except that the sales tax in the Texas side of Texarkana was much lower than the Arkansas side (you learn a lot by buying a bottle of Coke) until we got to Eunice.
I'm bringing WWII stuff to convention ^^ But when is the thing anyway? I know Riggs said the 25th originally, then last week he said the 18th. If it's the 25th, I'll laugh. That would be the busiest weekend ever. tournament, jr. prom stuff, and mother-daughter tea. I dunno if my mom will want to go to that. I don't know who we'd sit by, honestly. Once again, I am reminded of how badly I screwed up everything. And pretty much still am screwing up.
Some psychologist did research on what he called "intellectually gifted" children, and found that they were good at everything, basically: successful, wonderful social skills, athletic, etc. And their amazingness continued throughout life. Reading the criteria he had for the i-g children, I would have fit into that group when I was a kid (haha, definitely not now), but I wouldn't have fit his findings at all. And I'm starting to fall under the category of total and utter failure at life. It didn't escape my notice that there were empty desks around me during homeroom. I hate it when that happens. It seems like people avoid me. I don't have the plague. I'm not overtly mean. I don't get it.
