I had a very interesting day yesterday. A man with Bipolar disorder came into my HSC Unit 14 lesson and really, he just talked about what it's like having that illness. Everyone was upset in some points of his story and I know you would too if you heard it. One person in the class asked him if he's ever thought of what life would have been like for him if he didn't have the illness. He answered, "I wish everyday that I don't have it so I would have had a career..." Those words strucked me and I felt sorry for him.
I thought it was a good experience to have met him since I don't know anyone with a mental illness. The class was very grateful that he came and talked about his personal life which is really hard to do because to him we were strangers. I admired his couraged to tell us about his experiences and how it affected his life. By the end of the lesson, everyone was talking about how we wanted to give him a hug to make him feel better.

I had a very busy day today as it was my Unit 7's draft deadline so I had to finish it by the end of my 2nd lunch. Luckily, I did finish it and hopefully I would get a good mark even though it's only draft.
My Unit 13 coursework was handed back in today and I was very pleased with my mark. I got 9 out of 10 which is really good and the fact that this was only the start of the coursework. I remember last year I would only get 5 out of 10 or 7 out of 15 because I always left it until the last day. But this year, I'm very determined to get good grades so I've started earlier and I always meet the deadline or even earlier than that.
HAPPY 46TH MONTHSARY
It's Jeth and I's monthsary today. We were planning to meet up today but since he started working a week ago the plan changed. But it's okay as long as I still get to talk to him I'm fine with it. Hopefully, he'll be back before the evening ends so I can greet him for the first and last time today. I did greet him but it was last night so it doesn't really count.
Anyway, Jeth made two videos for me this week. And here they are:
