Poe

Okay so today we were in history and it was the last day before the big test. Where I sit, I'm near some people who like to talk during the class. Well, somehow, these guys brought up how this one time during quick recall I made a really stupid answer to a question. The question said, "This man shaved his mustache..." and I thought, "Oh hey we just talked about a guy shaving his mustache to avoid the army" so I buzzed in and said, "Poe." (Of course it was wrong....way wrong). In my defense, I was tired and on edge and when I heard something that rang a bell I reacted too quickly for my mind. Anyways, so we're talking about it in our small circle and I keep telling them to be quiet because it was embarrassing. Because that of course could not have been humiliating enough, one of them decided to bring it up in front of the whole class. So fun. The whole freaking class got to hear about how stupid I was.

Now for me, I'm always a perfectionist, and obviously, criticism is something I don't deal with very well. So when these boys brought up something that I'd spent two years trying to forget, it really made me angry. I couldn't think of a good enough comeback so I just kind of sulked all period and refused to talk to them. It was so bad that the teacher called me up to his desk after he'd finished teaching and made sure that I was okay. Yeah. I guess if looks can kill, he was going to have an EMT on call or something, haha. Anyways, I had to get this out of my system because I was so angry. But I'm okay now.
