Random Addition

So, in trying to keep my personal additions going, I am going to talk about one of my situational perfectionisms that I am dealing with right now. My perfect attendance. A few weeks ago I saw that I have no absences or even lates to any of my classes. So in my mind that means "wow you're doing something right, challenge accepted." So as soon as I thought that, I got bronchitis. At first I'm like "yeah I can totally deal with this." And now it has gotten worse and I am now double sick which just means I also have a cold. My cold is making me very scatterbrained. Well, more than usual. I walked into school thinking "why are there all these decorations in the cafeteria? What month is it? Wait it's decorated because there's a holiday coming...RIGHT Christmas!" and I became so disappointed in myself. I should be at home resting but no I really want this perfect attendance so please wish me luck in this endeavor because every cough is a stab to the chest. Have a good day, whoever's reading this!

Just posting this because I seriously miss fall and this sight was so much more beautiful when I was walking to school one day

Dialogue Assignment

"I've seen some weird things," Dorothy sighed, plopping down beside Alice.

"I've lived through some weird things" Alice rasped. "Let me tell you, I almost lost it on way too many occasions." She pushed her hair back, shutting her eyes.

"The road I followed was confusing to say the least," Dorothy said.

"Ha!" Alice laughed. "At least you had a road," a slight glare being thrown in the direction of the brunette.

"Excuse me," Dorothy sneered. "Did you encounter talking animals and creatures that should be inanimate?"

"Every single step of the way," Alice shouted, throwing her hands up in exasperation.

Tears began to leak out of the corners of Dorothy's eyes. "I wasn't even in Kansas anymore for crying out loud!" Dorothy sobbed.

"I get that was hard," Alice relented. "But did you shrink and grow and feel like you were on drugs?"

"Okay, fine, you win," Dorothy muttered, defeated.

"Thank you," Alice breathed. A small smile finally appeared her face.
