Leung’s Ramblings

So tomorrow is Seniors Last Day. Which means that there’s a senior assembly. My cousin is a senior. She said that I should go. You know, to kill time. Plus tomorrow is a block day. So today over the announcements, they say if you’re a freshie or soph. you need to get a permission slip to get out of class if you want to go. I go to the House Office after 3rd block. I say, “I need a permission slip for the senior assembly.” She ask for and writes my name down on the sheet. She says, “Are you Anita’s sister?” I tell her yes, even though that’s not true. She then logs onto the computer. It takes a while and she says, “I’m just verifying the address to make sure you guys live in the same house.” I’m thinking, CRAP. Because obviously we don’t live under the same roof. So then I blurt out the fact that I’m actually her cousin. She gives me a look and thinks about it and goes to check with one of the admins. He says, “It’s suppose to be only for siblings.” She looks at me and says, sorry. And I walk out feeling somewhat embarrassed. Walking to 4th block and while in 4th block, I ponder on what I could have said instead so that I could actually go. Here’s what I came up with:
1) Our parents separated.
2) We live in different houses because of a divorce.
3) We’re step-sisters.
4) We’re really really super close and it’s important that I be there.
I think the thrid one would have probably worked the best. Too bad I’m not good at lying. Bleh. So I’m not going to be able to see what it’s like to be a senior on Seniors last day. I really wanted to go too. Poop.
