Last days of summer

[renrenren3]

❧ So the re-painting is done, and I swear if I hear the name of another shade of violet I'm going to flip. Lilac. Lavander. Wisteria. I don't care what she decides to call it, it's purple. No, it's not too dark. So my room is now purple. Big deal. My mum asked me to check the colour swatch, check the paint in the tin, check the paint as it was applied to the walls, check the paint drying on the walls.
ffff it's purple, so what! The way she talks, it as if the walls of my room are now magical and colour-changing and rainbow and sparkly and whatnot. Only I can't yell at her because it's her birthday. But I wanted to, when she told me for the n-th time that my room was *~lavender-coloured~*. No duh.

❧ The painting guys thought I was 15. Hell knows how old they thought my sister is. Eight?

❧ One of my worst nightmares came true today when the kid I'm tutoring tried to simplify a sine and went from sin(x)=k to x=1/sin. Cue me trying not to bang my head on the desk as I remember that his exam is tomorrow. I can only hope he's freaking out because he's nervous, because he never pulled any of this shit in the last two months.
