angry. nervous. which is being it?

I was come back to the school again today. After all, Mr. Principal has not present last week and he is tell me to come back to this date. So I went here. It is not being that complicated, is it? IS IT?!

Sorry. My bad. I has been mad for today. I am mean, this principal is tell me to go back to Grade 7. Grade 6 even. Not really... I think I was hear him said to me to go back to Grade 4. Or was it 5 that I has heard?

Anyway, it all starts when I was show him my credentials. I was show him my elementary diploma and my grade from first year high in the Philippines up to now today. He is tell me that he has been impress by my Science and Technology, Arts, PE and Home Economics -- elementary. He is also tell me that I was good in Science and Technology, History, PE and Home Economics -- high school. However, he was disappoint when he looked on my English grades. So now, I was not know where I will go now.

It is true I need extra work for English. He is tell me that there is no problem enrolling in that school. He is tell me that they are always happy to accept foreign students. He is tell me that he will give me a call. And tell me what's best for me for my situation. So we was go home. He was smile at me back when we make our exit.

Make my anger nervousness. I am nervous each time I am hear the phone ring for now.

high school hallway

I was went to the school today. My cousin is helped me once again. Even if the school is being just three blocks away, there are snows everywhere. I cannot walk outside in cold. Very very cold still. Anyway, I was nervous back then in the school after I was walked in the hallway. I was feel like I was a foreign body of some sort of. In fact, I am! Wait... did I have just contradicted myself?

I am mean, I could not relating to the whole school and its corridors. I am really different. I was sweat and shaking because it feels like I can see what will be happening after the enrollment of mine here. I was saw bullying and stuff. However, I can be able to defend myself. But then not again, they might being group together and go against me alone.

"Nervous, Cuz? It's okay. The kids here are really friendly. This is a nice school. Don't let your eyes deceive you. No bullying, less homework, nice teachers... you get the idea. I should know. I mean, this is my alma matter."

"Really? Now, I am happy to be hearing that for now."

Whew. I was thought that I'll be at trouble if I was enroll to here for now.

We were look for the principal but he's not being at the school for now. His assistant was told us that he was attend a divisional meeting outside of town. What town? Weird. I'm sure I am live in a city for now.

Instead, the vice principal has saw us. One problem, I has forgot my credentials back at the house. He just was interview me instead yet again. He is told me to relax. Actually, I am being in no need to show credentials because I can start grade 8 there. But not being right away. He is told me that it is late... too late to register. I can be starting this coming September. September?! That is long wait!

He is again told me to come back next week. Next week will show up the principal.

backing to school

Uncle is asked me if I will going to be study at high school or college. I was said to my uncle that I only am finished 1st year of high school because I was has to move her in my new country. He is told me that it don't matter because I have to go to school again. But it is being March already. I am being quite sure that I am late for the registration, is it not? Well there is not harm in asking a question. That is why next week I am go to the nearest public high school for asking.

snow is started to melts

The snow is starting to melts and spring is close enough. I am almost feeling the rising of the temperature of the upstairs. But the basement is being cold still. I think there was problem with the thermostat and my uncle is told me before about that when I am asked him. I am wonder when he will get the thermostat is fixed. Anyway, the spring is almost being around the corner. Then it is the summer that is the next. At last, I am be able to dress simply on that day when it is arrived.

in the house is a basement

I am catch a cold. It is cold here and my cold is get the best out of me. My health card is being process yet. Fortunately, my cold is not bad. Frankly, it is could be manageable with how I am. I still could cook. But then not again, I was achoo on the frying pan and I was almost dunked my face on the fried eggs. I just has to be more careful next time for now.

"You have to drink lots and lots of liquids." my uncle is told me. "May orange juice sa refrigerator. Inom ka lang ng inom." how kind is my uncle.

There is one problem thing. I am live in the basement and the washroom is on the upstairs. So, I have to go to the upstairs everytime I have to go. The problem is arrived when I do not want to move out of the bed but I has to go.

Oh yes, I am almost forgetting another problems. There is also my upcoming work, right? My work is too far away from here it is. So I have to go there, right? Well, things are complicate when I don't want to move out of the bed -- is yet again. I am wish my work, bathroom and kitchen and television are located in the basement inside the room to where I am.

On a another sidenote: the computer is being upstairs also.

By the way, I am not being complain. I am being wishing.

another one ride bus

Today, was my first to rode a bus. Come to thought of it, this is my first time to have rode public transportation. My cousin has drove me for the past weeks. I could not being abuse her for always driving. My uncle have been sleeping so I dared not to wake him up. I must being able to go around with myself only. Otherwise, it has being embarrassing. That is why I have chose to ride for a bus.

It is hell different from the Philippines jeepneys, the buses. I am mean, the buses has schedules all over the city. My uncle has teach me another thing to me to the computer. He has show me this website for the bus schedule. And not only with that. The website is shown me how to get to wherever my destination it is with the routes of the buses.

When it is time for going, I was nervous all of the sudden. I am mean, I am in a foreign country. I am very new here for now. The people is greet me good afternoon or fancy meeting you here. The folks is being friendly. They are very friendly like being in the Philippines. Except being for the cold.

When the bus has arrive, I got in. I was asked the man on the wheels "So, how would I pay you, Mr. Chauffeur?"

he is replied "Chauffeur? I'm flattered. Haha, you just have to put two dollar coins in the slot. Or any combination."

"How is about a five dollars paper?"

"Uhm... okay." he is looked back to the passengers. "Does anyone have a change for a five dollar bill?" luckily, a lady has approach me and is changed my five dollar paper. "Now you just put two dollars in the slot. There. Alrighty. Now, do you need a transfer?"

"No thank you." Then the driver is smiles.

I do not being recall two bus rides. So I am not need a bus transfer. It is makes sense for having bus transfers. That way, you will be able to ride another bus free and has not to pay all again.

When I has arrived on the superstore, it was a pleasant trip. I can not wait to rode another bus. The riding will help me to memorize this place.

However, in the end, I am found out that my uncle has been doing shopping as well to where I am in the same store. I am mean, he told me that if he had waited for another five minutes I could've rode shotgun. Anyway, it is not being a total loss.

I am asking him it was okay if I would catch the bus to my way home.
