Goodbye Comsifter

A couple weeks ago we launched our new design for Pinterest profiles and we got a lot of great suggestions from Pinners.
One of the most requested features was the ability to choose a pin to be the cover for each board. Today, you’ll be able to do just that:

Congratulations, kid! Go chase your dreams!

We’re nearing that time of year again. Graduation. This is a time when people do stupid stuff, like… we won’t go there. I don’t think there will be any Elder and AJs this year, thank goodness. I’m already getting into the feel of graduation. We’ve already started practicing marching, and I just hope against all hopes that the juniors have some rhythm. Otherwise all our hard work will go to waste. This will be a long graduation. There’s eighteen juniors marching, followed by ten seniors. Twenty-eight all together. I should put a book up on stage to read while I wait during the speeches. That would be wise… I just hope that what happened at last year’s graduation happens again, preferably before graduation.
I’ve tried nearly every possible medium. I’ve attempted reconciliation three times since the incident. I honestly don’t know what to do now. The end of the year is coming, and I do not want it to end with us on a bad note. Last year we ended on a good one, but then something happened that caused her to reject my offer of a friendship. It’s not just the small things that I notice; the more obvious acts of avoidance don’t pass unnoticed either. But there’s something between that’s preventing a normal friendship, like everyone else. I’m the only one in the entire school who is avoided like the plague by this one person. It gets annoying sometimes. No, all the time. It gets frustrating as I search my life for something I did wrong. It’s almost torture. I’m just glad for the friends I do have who understand what I’m going through. I could keep going, but that would violate privacy and anonymity.
I, Reuben David Oluwatetisiwa Hall, am stationed here at my laptop doing homework and writing my last wills and testaments. The Junior-Senior Banquet is tomorrow evening, and I haven’t even wrapped my gifts yet. The Juniors have done a pretty good job at keeping us guessing. We received our invitations this morning, and I need to iron my shirt. I have two juniors, the most I’ve had since I’ve been here. I’m just glad that they are both good children, and have not been kicked out or suspended or any other rubbish like that. I just finished the will to the more technological one of the two. Now I am restoring a website that screwed up. This FTP transfer will take all night at this rate!
Here I am in bed, suffering from the first asthma attack I’ve had this school year. It wasn’t just the storm earlier this week that triggered it. A series of events involving some inconsistencies caused me to have an emotional breakdown, probably triggering off my asthma. I’ve come to realize that I am quite good at hiding my true emotions. I was almost bawling my eyes out in public just before they left. Then I went to say goodbye, and all my tears cleared up. When things like this have been happening over a period of four years, there’s nothing more that you can do, apart from praying for patience, which I did. I am almost glad I’m leaving in less than a month. This school needs serious help with consistency. It’s terrible. In fact, it’s so bad I’m blogging about it. This is the second mission trip I’ve missed since I’ve been here because of miscommunication between people. I still want to punch a wall, I am still mad at them for overlooking a tiny detail that could have enabled me to go on disaster response trip number 2. I hope they learn from their mistakes. I should not be penalized for being a musician – that’s another blog in itself.
These poor people know nothing about technology. How am I supposed to teach them? They’re so big-headed!
I have the perfect remedy for my developing cold: some strong ginger tea. This is what I mean: It’s so strong, that it’s not the heat that burns you. OK, I’m exaggerating a little, but it’s the kind that should have “Jamaicans only” written all over it. I’m loving it…
