I was supposed to sit with my friend, but all of a sudden, someone had taken
my seat before I arrived, and she refused to leave. How childish!
Plus everything just sounded like gibberish due to my hearing loss in one
ear; I was getting more and more agitated. That was what got me upset the
most because I felt like I had no control over myself.
Thank you though Dar. It's nice of you to say that.
