Recap: Invisible

you know, i think today's the first time i've actually talked to the principal face to face, as in directly addressing him and have him address me back.
considering how it went, that is probably a good thing. i don't like him.

the dress/pants issue isn't "that" important, per se, i'm very annoyed with it, i'm still considering not going to the graduation, but i think i probably will go, now that i've "chilled" down a bit. if nothing else, i do own that to my parents and my faraway relatives who will probably want to see pictures. there is something about mr. principal's tone and expression as he answered me that spiked my temper. i think it's the slight hint at being condescening, but it may be other things. he makes me feel that i am nothing more than an invisible member of this group of students that must be instructed to behave exactly as it should. to him, sure, it is that way, but to me, it makes me down right resentful.

highschool supposidely propares you for life. well then, there's another lesson of what it's going to be like "out there."

end raving.

it took him a really long time to say "yes" to the question of whether pants are unacceptable, which makes me think if you push hard enough you can actually get away with wearing them but he decided to eliminate the possibility whatsoever.

I don't mind wearing a skirt as much as I mind being told to wear a skirt.
