Dear Friend 20

Dear Friend 20,

If I imagine you to be a real person, what would I want to know about you? Probably everything. This letter shall be a personal one.

The day started with the Math Paper 3 exam. I was rather confident about statistics but then I made 2 mistakes. The first being a question which I couldn't understand while the second being just carelessness. Compared to past year papers, this year's paper was longer and slightly more challenging.

A well established genius was extremely annoyed by the paper and went on a rant for about an hour. I was annoyed at some point because he had told himself to stay calm many times but eventually went on a rant about the same thing multiple times with almost the same emotional intensity. As usual, whenever I feel some annoyance, I immediately analyse the situation and so I felt that this genius had all the right to complain and that I shouldn't be annoyed for his expression of emotion.

I feel immensely insecure about my height and appearance. It never bothered me until last year. I really want to grow at least 10 cm taller and I really despise my acne. I pretty much dislike almost everything about myself, especially how asymmetrical my body is.

After talking to friends for a while, I went home. It rained pretty heavily today. Then I went to get a haircut. I didn't exactly like it because my hair is still asymmetrical. After that I went to get a photo for the US Visa. The person at Photohub spoke in a very soft tone, and I responded to her in the same volume. It is interesting how conversations can be symmetrical in volume. I didn't like the photo either, although it was better than expected. Once again, I despise my asymmetry.

I had a difficult time deciding what to eat. Eventually I settled on Macs, which is unhealthy but I didn't care as much. The burger was good though.

And finally, I should talk about the movie Ilo Ilo. In general, it was an interesting movie and pretty well shot.

Interesting because the sentiments were so genuine. Well shot because the details were convincingly 1990.

It was so genuine that there was a lack of drama, a lack of dramatic tension. But not exactly boring. When the characters show their emotion, it is natural but not unrestrained.

Perhaps the reason why the movie hasn't been so popular in the island is because there is nothing really interesting of seeing a life well known on the silver screen.

Regards,
The Distracted
