Filed under School, Unknown?.I was supposed to go to the dentist.
I don’t like going to the dentist.
So it’s great news that mum cancelled our appointment.
I went to him last month for a check-up and nothing was wrong so I don’t see the point in my going again after a short period of time. That means he’s going to clean my mouth again. I don’t want to wear those scratched sunglasses that he makes me wear to block out the light. I don’t want that yucky strawberry-flavoured fluoride that leaves me gagging on my newly-flavoured spit. I don’t want to “not eat for 30 minutes”.
Maybe I’m just traumatized by previous experiences. Trust me.
A few years ago, I had really weird teeth. I had cavities and some teeth were turning black. I had to do a lot of things to fix them up and it wasn’t a painless process. But it was all worth it. Now my teeth are all better.
Anyway.
I’m really sad about moving into Year 9 next year. High school is going way too fast for me.
My older friends have told me that Year 8 is a bludge so I should make the most of it. They’re really scaring me.
Like I don’t have enough fears D:
I’m scared of Year 10—School Certificate exam thing.
I’m scared of Year 11—The year before we do our HSC and also, I have to move schools because my current school only goes to Year 10.
And of course, I am scared of Year 12—HSC + worrying about what I want to do after I leave school.
I feel like I won’t have enough time to prepare myself for the exams and such. I think that is why I’m just so scared of everything. But I will follow everyone’s advice and make the most of Year 8.
You know, one thing I can’t understand about school is how a student can fail a subject or an assessment without guilt.
Some people are proud to be bludging in class and wasting their parent’s money. I mean, school isn’t free. I go to a catholic school so it definitely costs a bit of money (though I’ve seen prices that are way higher).
But it’s not just that.
I can’t disappoint a teacher.
I don’t like screwing up in front of them, I don’t like getting a lower-than-my-average grade in front of them. I don’t know why but I always think that people expect so much from me and I force myself to reach their expectation.
And this really applies to teachers because I am usually getting A’s so I don’t like getting lower.
Whenever a teacher says “I’m disappointed with you” it really stings me.
I always feel like I owe teachers because they’re the ones who have to put up with moody and usually mardy teenagers.
And I just read through this whole blog and it hurt my eyes. Odd.
- Do you like going to your dentist?
- Was high school pleasant for you (or is it pleasant)?
- Current song that is in your head?
Okay, I’m off to do my assignment waste time.
New layout soon. Sorry for the delay.

Ahhh I love “A Certain Romance”. It’s a gorgeous little song, I love it so much!
It’s strange that your current school only goes to year 10. But then again I know some schools that only have years 11 and 12.
I know there’s a lot to look at in the next few years, but stay strong! You’re a mature girl, Monica. I know from talking to you and getting to know you. You’re mature for your age and I don’t have doubts that you DO try hard in your schoolwork.
I didn’t know they had the SC still. I thought they would have gotten rid of it by now.
Good luck though, it’s a small way but it’s a small step towards bigger things.
I have never failed anything. I got 40% in chemistry exams and I suppose it counted for a fail then. :/ But the teachers were really encouraging. It is really nasty when someone, whether it be teachers or parents or some other elder, says that they are disappointed in you. My mum says that a lot, and it makes me feel really discouraged and hurt. I can’t help but feel guilt, naturally, but students should be acknowledged for trying.
I actually like going to the dentist. (This is really answering your first question.) I used to want to be one, as well. I used to have lots of cavities and they had to get filled but now that all my adult teeth have grown, everything is in good shape.
I thought naturally, one was supposed to go to the dentist every 6 months. :O I like your description of the bad experience though. :P
* Do you like going to your dentist?
As above.
* Was high school pleasant for you (or is it pleasant)?
It was nice, overall. Things just sucked as the years went by. You find your real friends. At least, I did. I left high school with few friends, but that doesn’t bother me at all.
* Current song that is in your head?
I’m listening to Let it All Out by Relient K.
So much stuff to do, I’m sorry I won’t reply to your comment. But I did read it. *hugs*
Ugh, I hate the taste of flouride! Teeth turning black?! Yeah, I would have went through the paid too. Hopefully your fears of the future Years will be for nothing… What is buldging? I hated dispointting my teachers too.
I would say I hate disappointing teachers but really I dont, I get my 98% passes for myself, and I don’t really mind disappointing them. Maybe it’s because my school is reaaaaaly bad so I kind of have a grudge about it. :P I would be getting much better marks if I was in a good school ;(
* Do you like going to your dentist?
Nope, I have dentophobia D: I reaaaly hate going to the dentists.
* Was high school pleasant for you (or is it pleasant)?
Yes and No. It is because sometimes i just like it, but it isnt because the teaching quality isn’t that great sometimes, and my school is full of drug addicted, teenage parent drop outs who generally make life suck D:
