Don't talk to me like that! How come you have the ability to make me feel like a silly little girl? Oh I wish you didn't. In fact I wish I had some sardonic remark that would stop you right in your tracks, and make you wonder if I was really talking to you. I shouldn't let it eat me up like this. Jonlyn, stop thinking about it!

So it happened. She looked at me and said "I am sorry, Jonlyn."
Me: "sorry, what for?"
Her: " I am sorry I didn't get you a tutor sooner. I am sorry that I didn't have the ability to teach it to you."

So I just sat there. I was wondering why her apology made me feel bad.
After my pause she continued...

" I am very proud of you. Your working really hard at this and I know you will do well."

I continued in a state of, well, I suppose it was a state of shock. Then I finally replied "thank you"

I never give the right reaction. I mean I never give the reaction that reflects what I am feeling inside. Never is to strong of a word, but it happens to me a lot. I don't like it because I always feel bad for it afterwards.

===================================================================

I have added 28 words to my vocabulary. It is still not enough, but dad was impressed. Yay for me.

I had an encounter with pie today that was interesting. My brain is tired of being crammed with mathematics. It told me that today. Just like my face told me it needed a mask ( the kind for facials. Not the covering up kind *wink*) yesterday.

I am really going to Taiwan!!! I can't believe it. My ticket will be bought very soon. Oh I cant even imagine. Of course I am looking at all of the good things. I don't want yall to know the bad stuff because I just want you to be excited with me for a while. I am going in January I will post the latest info from now until then.

We are leaving to go Sumter Friday morning. I am really looking forward to this trip. I really wanted to be here when the Lands got here though.
