Prom Dress

I was able to successfully donate plasma today. Towards the end I was super worried I was going to faint in the chair, but I did not. Now next time Matt goes they will give him $50 extra. You're welcome Matt.

Jorja had a hard day today. She struggled waking up this morning. She didn't get much sleep after staying up so late with the service project. I was wondering if I should let her sleep, it looked like this time it was mono related. It is always a million times harder to get her up when the mono has a grip on her. I decided to make her get up anyway. She was definitely not herself when I dropped her off at school. The mono was really bad, she is anxious/scared to talk to Packer about her sophomore roller skating idea, she is trying to pull up her grades because the quarter ends in three weeks. Basically she is overwhelmed and stressed. When Jorja gets stressed she cries. She hates it. The first class of the day was student government. They have assigned seats. Jorja sits by Kylie and Cade. Cade noticed Jorja had tears in her eyes and asked her if she was okay. That made Jorja cry. I think it was that he noticed her and reached out to her combined with being super stressed; she couldn't stop the tears from rolling down her cheeks. Noah noticed that Jorja was crying and he called out for her to come over to him. Noah gave her a hug. Jorja said it was an awkward hug because he was sitting down and Jorja was standing. She tried to pull away after a bit, but he kept hugging her while he was talking to her. Noah spent a lot of time making sure Jorja was okay during Morp when she was super stressed, so this wasn't unusual for him to reach out and make sure she was okay. After talking to Noah, Jorja went back to her seat and immediately received a text. The only problem was, the text was accidentally sent to her from someone else in student government. The text was really meant for Kylie. The text said, "do you think that j could ever stop being so touchy with noah" The girl that sent the text is one of Jorja's good friends and immediately realized what she had done. She called Jorja to come to her, so Jorja got up again and went to talk to this girl. The girl said, "Sorry, that text wasn't meant for you." Jorja told her that it was okay and not to worry about it, but her voice cracked while she was talking to her. Jorja turned around burst into tears. She cried at her seat. Ugly cried. Jorja is always worried that people don't like her and they are just pretending to be her friend. Then when she is having a really hard day she got a little proof of that. I was crying when Jorja was telling me about her day. It was so sad. Jorja is one of the nicest people anyone could ever meet. I hate that she feels this way about herself and I hate that people aren't always nice to her. She definitely deserves to be treated better. Luckily the rest of the day went better.

Jorja's prom dress arrived today. It fits her great and she looks adorable.

Jorja had a busy day after school. She worked for a few hours and then went to the lacrosse game. After the game student government went to In-and-Out. That was the go-to place for student government last year. I think this is the first time they have gone there this year. This time the go-to place has been Chick-Fil-A. Haha
