#i would forget homework

[in-tua-deep]

when I was 12 I was sick and missed a science test. when I was back at school the teacher told me I could make it up after class but it completely slipped my mind and I went home on the bus

the next day I went to the teacher to apologize and tell her I could stay after that day if it was still okay and before I could she was like “You saw the zero in the grade book” in such a matter of fact way

I, in fact, had not looked at the grade book?? I had no idea that she’d put a zero in for my test. I was just a distractible kid with undiagnosed ADHD who… forgot to stay after school because my usual routine was to get on the bus

I didn’t say that of course. I just nodded in absolute befuddlement and then stayed to take my test that day

I’m much older than 12 now but I still remember my confusion and shame and the bolt of momentary panic before she told me she would let me do the test and I’m like. idk. it kind of stuck with me. I was 12. I was a pretty good student otherwise, yeah distractible but in a quiet “doodle on every paper near me” and “has two to three books on hand at any given time so I don’t get bored” kind of way.

I think even after all these years I still don’t understand why she felt like she had to scare me

Naru: you were… everything.

Okay, genuine question, can neurotypical people seriously just choose not to forget things via the magical power of "really caring about it", or was that just a myth invented by school teachers?

Ohhh my god I've rewatched Amphibia (not entirely; I was just rewatching True Colours 'cause I felt kind of bad and Amphibia was the fandom I chose to watch while I process those feelings which devolved into Reunion which devolved into The Beginning of the End and All In and The Hardest Thing)

AND. MY GOD.

I forgot why I called this my favourite show but I REMEMBER NOW.

I managed to forget the whole moral of Amphibia, my most beloved show

I need to stop closing myself off !!! I can do it I can stop overtly committing !!!

I was worried about my connections with my friend that I would've forwent everything to pursue them but that is how things go!!! I must not forget myself and I must not forget everyone else in the process !!!

I'm so motivated right now and this may not last til the next day but I'm gonna write this message to myself and everyone else!

I am okay !!! I am feeling okay !!! I will adapt and change with the world and the world will adapt and change with me and it'll all be okay!!!

My tumblr knowledge was finally useful!! In my physics class the teacher gave that one test where the first instruction is to read everything first and the last one says to skip everything and not give it away to the class since theres a bunch of weird filler directions 🙃

So because doing math homework is overrated/hj i’ll just yap a bit about some ideas i have for the play, which i will be calling the play until i have a better name,,,,,

I imagine the scene where The creature is telling victor about its story starts with them sitting at a table in the little cabin or whatever on Mt.Blanc, where The creature starts explaining what happened after its “birth”. With the medical diary he found in Victor’s coat and everything.

When he gets to the De’Lacey’s the lights go black and there’s a scene change.

The table is still there but The creature and Victor aren’t. The De’Laceys (and Safya too, i’m not sure how to integrate her into the small retelling without being like the book, which i didn’t like how that was handled. To say the least) start showing up as they are mentioned and act more like those cuckoo clock figurines as the creature explains.

And when The creature tells the part of how he tried to talk to the father, and failed and then burned the house down, a second actor might have to dress up as the creature to do the stage action, as the real actor of the creature and Victor are either behind the stage narrating, the narration is being played over a speaker or the two are standing behind the audience and narrating.

When the part about the De’Laceys is done the stage goes dark again and The creature and Victor are back at the table, and the Creature asks for a companion ect. ect. We know how this then goes, i will keep the discussion short because i am probably not allowed to have a 6 hour play consisting of the most detailed dialogue bdnefbdjjd.

I will probably have to cut out some scenes and replace them with slightly shorter ones for context or make important scenes include information it would not in the book, to keep it as short but also long as possible. I will make it long enough for a brake though.

I’m both a gifted kid and the kid that was kicked out of the gifted program for being a chaos gremlin* and then had multiple years of teachers Decide(tm) that I was being a troublemaker for kicks, and then have to listen to constant shit. Like one time we had a test on naming all the world’s seas. I actually fuckin studied for that one (because I love Categorization! You gotta be able to put everything in its box!) but partway through I realized the teacher just put everything as question 1) A. question 2) B. question 3) C. ‘Neat pattern!’ I thought, but I also didn’t trust her to start a pattern like that without twisting it up in the end to play Gotcha, so I answered them all based on the right name, not by knowing the alphabet. I finished before everyone else. She picked it up and in front of everyone (!) who were still working (!!!!) she said something like ‘I see you figured out what I was doing.’

Instead of, you know, acknowledging that I was doing what teachers are supposed to want: answering tests correctly.

Tldr, I got into a real dark place after years of that shit. Why keep putting effort into shit if it is only EVER going to get thrown back in my face? Thankfully by the time I got to 7th grade and started having one teacher per class instead of one teacher per day, I was able to have less exposure so they didn’t build up as much animosity. I didn’t graduate top ten, bc FUCK math, but I did finish 12th in my class, I did go on to a good college, and I did get a good job. But seriously, fuck every single one of those teachers who treated me like I was evil incarnate bc I couldn’t behave like everyone else.

* I didn’t get diagnosed autistic til I was 33. Now to be fair idk if my school ever did talk to my mom to encourage her to pursue a diagnosis back then, but this WAS the 90s in middle America and I WAS a girl, so it’s equally likely they didn’t even consider it.

People give teenagers so much shit well i think they’re a lot more respectful and smart than you give them credit for. They can tell when you’re being fake or dishonest or don’t care about their problems, and that’s why they don’t respect you, because they know you don’t respect them either! It’s the biggest thing adults just seem to overlook when interacting with teens… like these are human people learning how to navigate an entirely new world of independence and responsibility and they’re having feelings that are so fucking big and it’s really a lot to deal with. And you just treat them like either stupid immature adults or overgrown children, and not the extremely difficult in-between they actually are…

the only thing that im,,,, uh,,, kinda pissed about with my parents is that i wasnt raised bilingual. my dad speaks fluent french. my moms first language was french. my grandfather was a french teacher. every single relative i have speaks french (with most not speaking English at all). but here i am, only knowing a couple of words and having no fucking clue how to string together a sentence. it really sucks.

anyway if ur a parent please please please raise them as bilingual if u can its such a good skill
