when life throws you lemons, should you just accept it?

When I decided to write this blog post, I didn't even know where to start. Maybe I'm too emotionally-charged right now to think rationally so if what I write here turns out rubbish, don't read it.

My week has been so messed up that my mind's all over the place now. I had 5 tests in the past 4 days. It doesn't help that I think I've failed them all. I had continuous lessons til 6pm every single day which was mentally draining. Also, my teachers never told me I had to do the tests (which were on topics I've never done before due to my years-long absence from this school) beforehand and I was totally stressed out by the surprise. I could only stare at the paper blankly. I never had to face such a situation as I've always been a great student so it was a huge blow to my pride as well.

Then on Friday, after a traumatic Chemistry test, I had sports lesson. We were playing basketball and i sustained not just one but two injuries. I had a concussion when the ball hit hard on my head and a bloody knee when i tripped over a stray ball that someone, rather inconsiderably, threw into the court. I felt light-headed at that moment so I passed it off. By lunchtime, I had a pounding headache and found it extremely difficult to concentrate in class but i could not escape as I had extra curricular activities later in the afternoon. Unfortunately, I had a late night school trip and my head felt like it was gonna explode. By the time I got back to boarding, it was later than expected and I missed roll call by half an hour. It meant having my name taken down as an offence.

On Saturday, when I finally got to see the doctor, the doctor actually laughed at my misfortunes and I was furious. I had to wait an abnormally long 2 hours or more to see the doctor, despite having arrived there earlier than everyone else. Then, he had the nerve to actually say "haha wait..let me imagine. hahahaha so you got your head hit by a basketball and you tripped and hurt your knees AHAHHAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHHA"

On Sunday (which was today), I forgot my roll call and I had to write an essay on my offence and accept punishment on Tuesday when I meet the boarding master. 

Could it have been any worse? The wifi I'm using has blocked twitter, tumblr (thus explaining the lack of suitable memes in this post) so I have nowhere else to vent my frustrations.

sigh...It really isn't easy staying in this 'foreign' country all alone. I miss my parents and friends so much  (╥_╥)  It's times like these when you wish you have them by your side and you learn to appreciate them more. Ahh...who else could I have talked to?

Dear Dani, when life gives you lemons, you take then and turn them into a tasty lemonade ^.~
Now, on a more serious note, school usually , so no need to fuss over it, I'm telling you from own experience (thanks Lord it's over for me! @.@ but I still have uni TT.TT) As for tests and teachers: just take them all as they are. Don't put too much heart it it or you'll end up exhausted :(
Oh, by the way, where are you? In England? If so, where are you from originally? 'Cause you said you're missing your parents...
