okay i just got bacik everything except math and honestly,


i think death has arrived in the form of a few red numbers.

i found the easiest way to tell one's parents about it is to simply just let it all out in one single shot. then since the dosage is so powerful the parents would be stunned for a little bit, as the many favourite lines of criticism and nagging storm the passages from the voicebox to the tip of their tongue. hence they are momentarily unable to form coherent speech, and you can very quickly give them stock replies such as
"ok i'm going to study now"
and then make a hasty escape to your room.

but yes, death still comes masquerading as little red numbers on sheets of paper.

but parents are too fickle. first they say you must compare with the median mark, and your percentile in the school. then after you, along with more than half the school fail econs, they change tactics and say you shouldnt be failing humanities subjects, instead.

maybe it is old age? or having too many children to remember what they told each of them?


all the same, shit, i say. shit.
