Yay for her. That was her reach school, and she's totally stoked. The fewest schools anyone has applied to is five. I applied at two and don't really give a flying fuck if you want fries with that.
AP was out yesterday. Today he was too busy to talk to me so I got my friend to let me borrow her notebook and I left mine and hers with a note saying, "Please look at our very different grades. ???" Except I retardedly misspelled a word and didn't realize it until later. It is very unsettling to walk up to your locker and have the AP leaning against it, especially when your friends joke around and start screaming that you should have hidden your crack in a more creative place than your locker.
Anyway he said the office lady is tired of my face and he is tired of my constant complaining. Tomorrow I'm supposed to bring in all my essays from last quarter and this quarter and drop them off before 1st period. I don't know what's going on.
Also I told him neither of my schools have gotten back to me and asked if he thought it would be a good idea to call. He said we can revisit it at the end of next week. It really felt like he is tired of me and doesn't want to deal with me anymore.
Tonight at work I got a splinter in my finger. I can't get it out. I am sure it will wind up infecting my finger and an amputation will become the only solution. I hate my life.

That is the best line ever! I know it comes from a place of true concern and stress and anger, but it is fantastic.
Don't let anyone tell you that you aren't a tremendously talented writer.
It sounds like you did everything right with the AP. Go you!
Is it at all possible that what he said about the office lady and complaining was his really lame attempt at humor?
Do as he says and definitely drop off the essays as directed, and then hang back with any requests and instead let him take the lead and follow his instructions for the next week and a half.
I think it will be okay.
When removing a splinter, soaking the affected spot first can help. If you are using tweezers, perhaps try using them to push rather than pull. Also, clean the tweezers with rubbing alcohol if you can before using them.
Some other ideas and information can be found at these four helpful pages.
If you still have any trouble, maybe the school nurse could help. If the situation becomes medically complicated, since you got the splinter at work, it would be the diner's responsibility to get you medical attention.
Aw dude...I wish I could do something. This sucks. I know from experience that having people say shit like that, even as a joke, makes you feel that much worse. Why can't people just be supportive and nice? And so what if you're a PITA? That's a GOOD thing-that you'll stand up for yourself.
Soaking the splinter is best-I take a bath to do that, and then squeeze at it. Usually, they'll come out regardless though.
Seriously, if I can do anything, let me know. Even if it's a shipment of Canadian donuts. :)
You're not whining, you're standing up for yourself, keep up the good work on that, and maybe it was his lame attempt at humor.
It sucks and I'm sorry for that...be patient and hopefully like he said end of next week it'll all pan out.
I agree, soak then push, don't pull, if it persists I've found putting a bunch of bacitracin on it and bandaids help it loosen up then easier to get out.
On the off chance you have to amputate, you'll move to the category of physically disabled on applications which could help too...[see my lame attempt at humor]
hang in.
You don't know me, but I like your blog and had another suggestion for the splinter. I've read that you can spread Elmer's glue over it and let it dry. When you peel off the dried glue, it can pull the splinter out. Hope this helps!

It all sounds overwhelming and very scary. Based on who you seem to be through your blog, I am convinced you will make it through all this. But, it's ok to feel tired and want to curl up and be cared for in the middle of all of it. I'm sorry you don't have someone who can do that for you.
Random thought, isn't there public assistance money for your sisters if you're the emancipated sister and you're all living together?
