20 Minji's Notebook pg. 1

Listen up Notebook because I have a lot to say.

I can proudly report now that after the first three minutes of class, I'm still alive and in one piece - somehow. The tension between Jun and Seoyun died down every so slightly and is now replaced with an uncomfy atmosphere which I now have to bear as well. As much as I'm celebrating that nothing has happened, things have also gotten awkward between any conversation I strike with either of them. At the very least, it leaves me to think about and monitor their interactions which are very few and far between. Amongst them, there's nothing more than the occasional side glance and threatening icy glowers - all of which the teacher hasn't noticed yet. Now that I think about it, I'm somewhat glad that I'm the buffer between them. Not only do I get to look at them closely, but I also ease some tension between them which should count for something.

Somehow in the midst of all this internal chaos, I've managed to forget my own birthday in the process. I know I'm meeting up with Seoyun and Dahyeong after school to go to the convenience store nearby Seoyun's. I'm think they might drag me elsewhere after though I can't be too sure. I made sure to plan to train with Yuna after I meet up with them. Since school ends at 16:30, I can safely make it with Seoyun and Dahyeong then head straight to Yuna afterwards.

For now, I'm stuck in class and we're only a few minutes in! I already wanna smack my head on the desk and choke every student who raises their hand to ask a question, effectively elongating the time we spend going through the powerpoint. C'mon! It's not that hard to read a stupid slide. Use your eyes and the neurons you have remaining to figure it out on your own. Or go visit the teacher after class, for pete's sake! Use your time, not mine. You might think I have serious anger problems, Notebook, but I assure you that while I do, they aren't THAT bad.

I was gonna take notes on the slides until the teacher announced that they were going to be sent out to our school emails anyway. After those very words left her mouth, I immediately dropped any ounce of attention of mine she had.

Writing everything I'm thinking is fun? I guess? Of course, you already know the answer, Notebook. At least it's more fun than actively listening in class. If given a choice, I'd rather go through the slides on my own time than listen in class. The teacher's spend so much longer on it than they need to, explaining concepts we never even need for the unit while I'm at home, learning everything about the unit from the same slides in ten minutes.

I don't quite know how Jun and Seoyun are able to double, no, triple task so well. They're practically taking notes, listening to the teacher AND shooting eye daggers at each other. At the same time, you never catch them slipping in their behaviour. They know exactly how petty to act without alarming the teacher's senses. If I didn't know anything about their beef, I might've even found it somewhat fascinating. But of course, I know a lot more than I wish I did and that's on Minjeong. I think I'll just have to wait until tonight to see her again.

That's about everything I needed a refresher on. I have to be honest, it's great being able to write. While typing on a computer is superior so as to not acquire writer's hands, the act of getting thoughts recorded is what counts in the end. I guess that's all I have to say, Notebook?

Cheers, Minji
