That Time of Year... Urgh

 

Yep, it's that time of year again. The time of year where I feel like crawling up in a ball and crying. The time of year where nobody around me has the right to be happy. The time of year when I don't wanna talk to anyone, see anyone or even hear anyone... I'm ill. No, it's not just any type of illness. It's my yearly cold. I get it once a year and when it comes, all my mental barriers just shut down, I'm constantly tired and I'm super grumpy. It's like the fricking apocalypse.

So my cold always starts off with a sore throat. It always feels worse in the morning beause I wake up and feel like I've got 2 blumin' golf balls stuck in there. I try to swallow and it makes it worse so I just lay in bed with my mouth open, trying not to move, looking like a complete and utter weirdo. The sore throat works as a kind of alarm to warn me that I have a monster cold coming.

Next is the runny nose. I've spent about 60% of the past week blowing my nose and it feels like it's about to fall off. It's okay at home beause we have proper tissues but we never have the small packs that you can take on the go with you so when it comes to going to school, I have to stuff a load of toilet paper in my bag. The problem with toilet paper is that it's horrible and rough so of course, you get the 'red nose'. 







Another problem I have with blocked noses is that during class, you need to blow you nose but you can't because it's so loud and you'd disrupt anyone if you did! So you have to sit there sniffling hoping that class will end so you loo and blow away.

 

I also hate the ear popping, the cough, the tiredness and the cosntant coldness. My feet are always freezing, I'm mostly deaf, I'm falling asleep at the table and I can't speak without feeling the need to cough my lungs out.

 

You know the saying, 'it gets worse before it gets better'? Well that's definitely true. It's gotten way worse over the past few days so surely it will start to get better soon, right?? I got a part in High School Musical which is being put on in my school and I can't sing with this bloody cold so I need to be better by Monday. Please God.

 

I'll publish something new next week (: Thanks for reading!! And don't if you don't want to, but please will you leave a comment just to let me know that someone is reading this??

 

Thanks a lot (: LucyLou

Urghh... School Uniform

Ok I know, I'm kinda crap at the whole posting regularly thing but I can only hope that I'll get better at it as I become more experienced in the world of blogging.

So this post is about school uniform because, if you live in England, you'll know that school started again this week and with it came the horror of school uniform. Now my school used to be alright in terms of what we had to wear. I mean yeah, we did have to wear horrible sweaters that look like industrial sized bin bags and yes, the shoes we had to wear were not allowed to have even a trace of colour on them but on the whole, I could live with it.

What they make us wear

But now it's a different story. Our old headteacher left us for some post on the school inspection board and as soon as she'd left, it was like the monsters swooped to make our lives a living hell. The uniform policy has become so much more strict and the punishment for wearing the wrong uniform has become so much worse.

My main problem is school trousers. The rules on trousers is that they can't be leggings, tracksuit bottoms, jean style, they can't have studs or any decorations and they must be black. ALL this is written on the page in the front of my planner. I bought two pairs of trousers that didn't go against anything the rules stated, they were skinny, black, tailored trousers with a zip and button at the side. I wore them for maybe a month with no problem what so ever until one day, the teacher that's forcing all this crap on us, stopped me and told me that I wasn't wearing the correct type of trousers!

I swear this is what they want us to look like. . .

The punishment for wearing the wrong type of trousers is that you have to go to reception and change into some trousers that the school lends you for a day. You don't have a choice, you HAVE to change. Now it would be okay if the school tried to find a decent pair however, the school go out of their way to find the most disgusting, uncomfortable trousers in the world. No lie. Some of the trousers they make you wear are grey, baggy things that are super ugly. And the funny thing is that I recall the rules of trousers is that they have to be black. They're some pretty faded trousers if you ask me.

So all in all, I must have spent over £100 on different pairs of trousers because the school can't decide what they want us to wear. Jesus!! I have had to settle for wearing a black skater skirt all year round which is okay in summer but I don't even wanna think about how cold I'll be in winter.

School really needs to sort its self out and get a grip.

Thanks for readimg (: Sorry bout the lateness!!
