Monday
I couldn’t go into school today. The plumber came to the house to fix our leaking toilet. I can remember saying to the plumber that the water comes out from somewhere in the toilet. And he says “Uh! I can’t see it”. I had to tell him that “I wasn’t the plumber. I don’t know what is happening”. But he says “I can’t do anything about it. Because I can’t see anything”. Afterwards I went to the doctors to change my finger dressing. I had an accident on one of the deign machines at school a few weeks ago. At the doctor I got really got scared because I hate seeing my own finger like this. It makes me vomit to look at it because it looks disgusting. The doctor said it is getting better very quickly. They were very surprised about how fast it was heeling. And that was all of Monday.
Tuesday
Today was like every other day. Nothing different, yet the day was still had its surprises. My highlight was doing sports. That was the only thing that got me through the day. The worst bit of the day was standing in the freezing cold. This is when all the teachers were inside snuggled up warm. When I was coming home, I was in a rush as my friend was running because he had to go somewhere and I wanted to go with him, but I had detention. Afterwards, I was allowed to go. While I was coming home it felt like every other day. Mum said “how was your day”. I’m like “it was fine”. I noticed that mum was cooking something. It smelt very tasty. I went upstairs to take my school cloths off and started watching television all day. That was probably the best part of the day.
Wednesday
Today I felt like not getting up from bed because it was so cold and it was even snowing outside! My head was spinning round and round. And school was worse. Firstly I got detention. Then another. I even got blamed for something I didn’t do. We, as in me, had a snow fight. It was wicket. But soon all the snow run out and turned into ice. Later that day, when school ended I went to my friends house. We took the bus. I had so much fun. We played darts and playstation2. While I was coming home it was dark and scary. I had to come all the way from Roman road to Brick Lane.
Thursday
It was the worse day ever of my life I was humiliated in the class room in front of the girls. My teacher was telling me off for no reason. I was about to explode. Anyway,
I had another doctor’s appointment to get some new dressing for my finger. I had to go back to school after the doctors. I went in late and the attendance officer wanted to see me. He asked me why I was late. I’m told him I had to go to the doctors. He asked me where is my appointment card was. I told him I left it by accident at the doctors. He says I have to bring it in with me tomorrow. Before Registration. How can I if I left it at doctors? Then bring a note from your parents. I said “Ok man!” Then I left.
Friday
It was so cold today in the morning when I was going to school. I was a bit late but I didn’t really care because I’m always late. And nothing ever happens. I’ve only been in trouble for it once and even then nothing happened to me. And that’s when it hit me. I did not want to get excluded ever again. So I started to walk faster and that’s when I met my friend who always runs to school. I started to run with him. We were still late! I had to sign up for being late. The day went past so quickly! My last lesson was drama and it was the best lesson ever. We had such a laugh!
Saturday
It was the worst day ever! I did not want to go to work at six o clock in the morning. But mum said this is the last day you’ll have to do this. I won’t have to go any more. I work for my brother with his work on some Saturday mornings. Work was so cold and I almost got frost bite working with him. He hardly ever pays my wages. Its like I do the work for free. Finally, work finished. I was so relived. I mean there I was in the freezing cold. Now I’m snuggled up warm. In a warm home.
Sunday
Today was great! I had so much fun. Well not really. I went to my friend’s house to watch a film and I also took a film myself. We started watching it. His mum came in and asks “why did you bring a film with out my permission?” I’m thinking it’s only a film man. Why are you dieing in my head?” Then his sister comes in and starts having a go at house saying the film was rated 15. I was about to explode! And then she says can you take it off please. I was fed up with them and decided to just take it off and go home. I went home with so much anger. But soon I calmed down after I started to watch television at home. But there was nothing really on. I got really bored watching it and I did nothing. That was my day.
