Rhys’s diary of literally random stuff
I just want a space where I can dump things completely random—just anything. The title means exactly what it sounds like and I’ll probably be posting writings, and maybe more personal stuff on here as well ❤️
I went to the Escape room today and we did two rooms. One was Mafia Kingdom and the other was Black and White. Black and White was really hard and we almost didn't make it out. We were on the very last puzzle and it was the easiest and the guy let us finish it. It took us like 30 seconds and yeah it was pretty good. Mafia kingdom was pretty easy though.
Yeah, I'm not going to school tomorrow. It's all about some movie day, where all the 10th graders make a movie or something and then we do stations and then at the end of the day, we present our movies or something. IDK it doesn't sound horrible honestly, but I'm not going tomorrow because of some passport renewal stuff we have to do. It kinda sounds fun though but yeah I think its only for 9th and 10th graders and well I didnt get to go last week, and I probs wont go next year cuz I wanna do a wow week trip, so Idk but 12th graders never go anywhere so yeah this year and next year is basically my only chance.
Idk what to do. So basically some more test results came back from the doctor and my calprotecin something is a little higher then normal. It's like a 171 which is like mildly elevated, but what's weird is that my zinc is also pretty low. Like idk because I have been taking those zinc/iron supplements lately, and I take them twice a day for probs the last two weeks, so really my zinc shouldn't be so low. It's also a decently high dose I think because it was prescribed for my scalp psoarsis from my doctor so idk what the issue is but I saw a refferal to go to a urogynecologist which I had no idea who that was until like I googled it so yeah.
Also have lots to get off my mind, another one of them being my birthday. My birthday is February 2nd and I'm gonna turn 16 soon. And so, I have a decent amount of money saved up. Like idk how much but It's def more then like 1200 dollars so yeah and my mom was saying that I should get a new phone and that she'd give me 2000 riyals which is about 500 dollars and that I'd have to pay the rest myself. I don't wanna do that, and idk it doesn't seem fair to me. My older brother has had 3 pairs of airpods, a new phone that was paid in full, and some other crazy stuff. It's just idk i've only had my mac which I've kept running for a very long time, and my phone which is an iphone 8 that they bought off my tutor. I'm saving up and idk for what really but I know I'm gonna use it after I move out for university. I want it to be my cushion. I dont care if I'll have my parents to financially support me, and it doesn't matter to me honestly, because no matter what, having some cushion of money is better then nothing. I'll graduate highschool with probs at least 3000 dollars saved up and they'll graduate with nothing. I don't wanna be super dependent and constantly calling to ask for money and other essentials.
I'm scared of feeling helpless
I gotta lock in
Like really lock in
For AP world and for APES
And also for some Quran stuff but I don’t want to get out of bed
Okay haven't done much (as expected) but im gonna type some stuff and then get to work and do some idk productive stuff 😭
I have some planning to do first. Their are some things I'll type about later, if It happens I guuess idk how to explain it honestly but yeah. Anyways, I'm thinking of smarter ways to keep my savings safe and also expand them. When I'm 18, I have a whole plan of investing, saving, and more investing. Of course I'll have to go for a small amount to invest first but yeah everything has to be halal. I don't do anything haram or anything like that cuz yeah.
Anyways gotta study and lock in. byeeeee
Okay so I have a whole plan, of everything that must be done, and that I'm gonna start and stuff. Which reminds me, I have Quran class today at idk what time. The teacher just comes whenever at this point. I don't hate the class, but she keeps comparing me to this other girl and how much she's memorized and I hate that. Like I don't like that she keeps doing that because it's religion, it's faith, and it's not something that should be rushed, or a competetion really. No religious book, whether its the Quran, Bible, Gita, etc; is about making it a competetion to see who can memorize the most. I don't think Allah or the Prophet would want me to rush memorizing without really being able to understand. The whole point is to ponder, reflect, not just memorize words just because and make it a competetion between two students. Like we're the ones paying her anyways and its awkward when she's telling me how much the other student has already done, like okay and? I just say okay nice, like what else am I supposed to say anyways. I've honestly started dreading the class, mostly because of this whole competetion thing, like I don't know, I just feel like that's not the way to teach the Quran.
Other then that, I also have my Tuition class today, and that's good because I have to do my math homework, and because I didn't review over the weekend, It'll be good to go over everything with the teacher. In between, I'll start some AP World and AP Enviromental Science. Gotta start on everything and get it done fast. Lots of memorization and test is coming up for AP world for unit 5 and its apparently a DBQ which might be a blessing in disguise because I suck at MCQs for some reason, lol. But yeah, the moment I get home, I'm gonna need a warm drink to get rid of the headache I'm having. Idk what caused it but the wind is terrible today so I'm gonna blame it on that. It's like blowing so hard, I felt like I was gonna fall right down. Worst part is that I decided to wear boots which was probably the worst idea ever.
Also my mom I think had a phone call appointment with the doctor this morning I think so idk how that went. We did book one before but she never showed up for it for some reason, and also my mom sent her a message through the app like two weeks ago, but she never responded. Idk why she hasn't responded to anything or whatever. Maybe she's busy or smth but shes like a family doctor so idk. Hopefully she does show up today for the appointment because we like still don't know whats wrong. Idk we'll see. Everything came back normal in my tests, except my zinc is low which is weird because I've been taking those zinc/iron tablets, that multi vit one every single day, morning and night. Like you'd think it'd be normal but its not. Idk It makes my stomach weird though so I'm probably not even absorbing it properly, or maybe the dose is just too high but it was prescribed to me by my dermatologist. And also my calprotecin was like 171 or smth, which Idk I think it means that the inflammation in your gut is like slightly elevated or something but I'm not sure. So hopefully that gets sorted out soon honestly. She did say in my appointment weeks ago that she'd prescribe me some antacids so idk maybe :)
Class was the worst today. My quran class so basically she told me about how the other student is almost done with all her verses for memorization (like im still on the second and shes almost done with the third) and so I said something like, "Oh thats good like Im proud of her" because of course I am, like she's memorizing and stuff so yeah, like why would I have any reason to be upset? and the teacher asks me like "yeah but like...don't you feel like...anything" referring to like me being jealous or feeling slow or less just because I didn't memorize as much and stuff, so I said "No, like it's not a competetion" and she was like "hmm". Like it's genuinely not. Also I was gone the whole entire winter break and she memrized over break so its not really fair anyways to be saying that. Also last class on wednesday, before, I got a braces tightening and no one told me that the teacher and the other student came so I thought they werent there, and was just trying to power through my braces pain, and she was mad later and said that I was "wasting her time" and stuff. Ugh, it's so annoying and I'm not jealous of the other student or anything, like I'm genuinely happy that she's doing well because why would I be jealous of someone being succesfull? I just hate that the teacher has to make it into some kind of competetion.
It's exhausting like i can't eat anything properly anymroe besides like freaking boiled eggs, ritz crackers, and like a bannana. It's so annoying and that doctor moved out appointment to thursday without even saying anything to us. Idk what she's doing or if she doesn't think that it's urgent enough idk maybe she's talking to agastro. IDK on the bright side though, we're doing a DBQ for AP world as our unit 5 test, so I have a really good chance of getting an A, like seriously, I have a good chance because she's giving us the prompt and the documents all beforehand over the weekend so I have at least 5 days to practice actually making the essay I wanna make, and I can time myself and everything so it should be fine. Thank god.
Yeah been some time since I talked but anyways my birthday is February 2nd, but that's Monday and that's a school day so I can't really do anything on that day. Me and some friends are gonna go to the Mall that day. I just wanna go to eat crepes but yes I have a whole plan of buying lots of desserts. This time, I'm gonna get a crepe for myself lol.
So I'm in school actually but It's last period and my English teacher isn't here so instead another teacher is subbing for us and she's very nice. She's like almost passive aggressive but she's giving us free time to do whatever we want. She literally said she doesn't care lol but yeah it's nice. She kinda just let us off the hook honestly.
Yeah this day has been weird mostly though. This morning I had to go to my Quran translation class at 5:00 AM and when I woke up, it was so foggy like when I actually went outside, you couldn't see whats in front of you and it was bad. School starts at 7:45 AM but because of the fog and stuff, we ended up getting picked up by the busses at 9:00 AM and got to school at 9:40 AM. Also their was a major accident on the highway apparently right before we left, and idk how but they did manage to clear everything somehow, but yeah, I heard it was pretty brutal and stuff and their was a ton of traffic because of that. Anyways, yeah morning has been very hectic and crazy and I ended up missing the whole of period 1 and the thing thats so unfair is that they actually marked me absent even though like at least more than half of the school ended up coming late to school. They should've marked it as an excused absence, not an absence or anything like that like it's so annoying. They should've just canceled school like a major accident on the highway because of the fog like honestly I dont know what they were thinking.
I came in the middle of 2nd period and well I had Lifetime and Recreational activities which is basically a PE class except we do mostly racquet sports. He's getting us do badminton which isn't so bad, like it's just that I suck at serving and he's actually giving us a "refree assesment" where we have to be a refree for a match and he assess us based on that I guess. Idk it seems kinda strange but oh well and we're also having a written assesment which I think is strange for a PE class but who am I to judge his teaching method? lol and he said we're gonna play ping pong and Bowling but like later in Ramadan cuz our schedules are shorter and those are sports that are require less energy so it'll be good for us.
Yeah, and then I had a formative in Math which well, lets just say that didn't go so well, and well yeah, and now I'm here in English class with the sub. I have an after school club today though so I wont be getting home until way later and well I'm definitely gonna get hungry so I'm buying osmething from the cafeteria, or maybe the prom pantry idk. Anyways, after school today, their is gonna be the Walk of Nations tonight so I'm gonna go. its basically when they put all the stalls up for each country, and their is like 60 stalls or something of different countries. It's at the elementary school and you just kinda go from stall to stall and try their cultural foods and stuff. it's amazing and soooo good.
I hope we can cancel that Quran class though cuz idk I don't wanna do that class. The other student is gonna come which means that she's gonna go on about how she's memorized more and I haven't which honestly, I'm not bothered by the fact that I know less but I also don't think that trying to make it into a competetion is the right way either. Besides, last time she was like "don't you like...feel something?" like what does she want me to feel? Jealous? Anger? Embarresment? Idk cuz I don't feel any of that. Actually what I do feel is angry and embarresed about how someone whose been teaching me for the last 10 years of my life almost 11, thinks that ridiculing me in front of her other students is somehow gonna make me work harder. Like Im just embarresed that a grown woman thinks that this is normal and okay, like idk I'm not embaressed that I've memorized less at all. In fact its said that the one who struggles more is actually rewarded more so like why would I be irritated? She honestly needs to stop becuase its genuinely not funny. Her own words are a reflection of herself, not of my student abilities so I dont know what she thinks saying that.
Again lol, I didn't post much lately but I've been very busy. Have tons to do cuz exams are kinda crammed this week but at least, again, it's a DBQ so it's fine. Also Math, like gotta do lock in for that becuase my test is on Wednesday so I need to really study and practice and stuff. Anyways, yeah my birthday is tomorrow but I celebrated with my friends over the weekend. I celebrated yesterday, cuz my birthday is on Monday which is a weekday so yeah. idk what we're gonna do cuz i've kinda already done stuff, but yeah. Idk honestly my mom is gonna cook something I think. Yeah but thats kind of it, cuz I'll be busy studying. An amazing sweet 16 I guess lol
It's my birthday but eh, it doesn't really feel that different. Feels kinda like any ordinary day honestly. I remember when birthdays used to feel magical and stuff, now it just feels like all the specialness of the day is gone. Idk why but eh.
