THE SPELLING BEE PRELIMS!

The day of the Spelling Bee preliminary round.

Yay! I passed! I think.

It was really good though. I think I'll lose a maximum of 7-8 points in written round. But I got both of the spellings correct in the oral round. I got pristine and furiously. Kinda easy.

I made some new friends too. They're from Poornima's class. I had fun. Last time, I slept halfway through the time as my turn usually gets over soon 'cuz my name begins from A. There were fairly easy spellings this year, and also less competition.

OH. I just watched the Amanda Todd video. I might have cried a little. 

But basically, I feel sorry for her. I DO. No one should ever end their life with suicide. ESPECIALLY for bullying. But, if you think about it, people have killed themselves for so much more. I've heard SO MUCH about suicides due to rape, drug abuse and all that crap, but a person's life is not WORTH ending on the rage, fury or anger of others. And you can never get past or forget your worst mistakes, but talking to people you trust makes it better. BLOGGING makes it better. A little bit. But not as much as face-to-face talking. I'm not exactly 'open' with my parents. But if I was ever bullied, I would tell them. If you have a blackmailer, get off social media. A person CAN live without social media. I don't really have the best advice or anything, but it does get better. And by 'better', I don't mean things like, "The person who bullied you died." OR "Your blackmailer was arrested." I mean little things. However little they might be, things have gotten better.  

And I cannot emphasize this more, but, talking makes it better. Not flash cards, or blogging. Real talk. Mouth-moving, sounds produced. 

Well, I think this can cover Random Topic for today. Bullying.

Anyway, I was searching for old crap to keep today, and I found one of my old autograph books. I came across an autograph of "Elizabeth". Who the hell is Elizabeth? Elizabeth is a common name, but I haven't even known ONE Elizabeth in my life. I think it must have been a teacher. I am searching for someone to call to catch up with work for today since I missed it. The worst thing, I missed English class. I love English. 

Well better get calling. After I watch Punk'd. 

So I should get going then. 

Whatever.
