Have you ever had any "blockhead" moments? If so, what was the worst one?
Anonymous
Hmm…
Well, I always feel bad if I leave the house and forget to leave a note for Sweetie.
Worst would probably be when she was stranded at school for several hours. It was back when she still lived with Rarity, but I had taken her to school that day. It was completely my fault.
I wanted to just crawl into a corner and die…
…
Okay, now I’m noticing you have blockhead in quotation marks, and I’m wondering if you mean… Something else…
If that’s the case, when that teacher accused me of cheating? I didn’t exactly take that well. Might have overreacted a little.
Nevermind that I was a hair away from knocking her right-the-hay out!
Oops! Meant to upload this hours ago! What a busy day… Good thing I stick it on my flashdrive!
Like I said earlier today, nothing new here. Just listen to the change in the drums from the original uploads. Should be more apparent with the later half of the upload (Second half of Pokey Means business to Decisive Battle).
Not sure if you ponies would rather hear these or the industrial sounding version. Can you let me know?
Edit: For now, going with the newer drums. Feel free to leave an answer, though!
I went to class anyway, like a good boy.
You didn’t machine gun chunks all over everypony, did you?
It’s nice to be a good boy, but remember that it’s okay to slack off every now and again. Just make sure you make up any missed work!
Well I am yet to find those out I guess~ it is much harder than singing for me~ so whats the hardest thing you have ever played~?
This one, by far.
I spent hours, and I only got like halfway into the piece before I stopped. Was just so tired (admittedly, was kinda on a deadline too).
Double grace notes were invented by somepony with nefarious intent.
Edit: That is, this was the hardest to play solo. Setting up drum sections for Sweetie is much more difficult.
yeah i got nothing, i just happened to get better at school, nothing actually helped. i actually tried all these caffiene methods, learned that i cant handle any caffiene in even the smallest of doses, unable to write the jitteriness was so bad. also got paranoid, school turned quite scary.
Sort of the same for me. I’m sure things will work themselves out for Sweetie too. But it’s going to be tough until then.
I’m not about to resign to that, though.
I have a radical idea. And that idea goes by the name of COCAINE.
That certainly is radical.
Can't you talk to Cheerilee and get a special dispensation for Sweetie?
Decision isn’t up to Cheerilee; she’s just a teacher. I got Sweetie transferred back into Cheerilee’s classroom; she was with some unbelievable b-… blockhead this year.
That accused me of cheating…
But rules are rules. It sounds stupid, but Cheerilee could seriously lose her job disobeying them.
caffeine mints! they have those, i think
And either I guess at whatever dosage she needs, or she tries to carry them around with her to use and ends up getting in trouble. Or worse, the teacher makes her share them with the class! Then I’d get in trouble!
I appreciate the input, but I’ve already thought about this from a few angles. If you don’t have a radical idea, it won’t help.
Can I just say that it's really adorable and sweet how much you've allowed Sweetie slip into your heart with how much you're working for her benefit.
You may.
I don’t really look at it that way, though. I just love that foal.
The new blog is up, Lyra! Be sure to follow it. :D
Have you considered the posibility that sweetie could have some kind of LD?

What do you think the IEP was for?
The only problem is school systems becoming increasingly ridged in their methods of teaching. Whole thing is guided by standardized testing, not by what foals are actually learning.
lemme let the internet help "Use caffeine pills instead of coffee. The taste of coffee is not for everyone, especially children. Caffeine pills can be purchased in most pharmacies. Be aware of the caffeine content of one pill when purchasing them and aim for 100 mg per pill. The pill can be split into two. Administer 50 mg of caffeine in the morning and another 50 mg in the early afternoon, Do not exceed the doctor's dosing."
I need something that she can control the dosage on. It took too long for me to find out there was trouble to begin with.
I... I hope Mint recovers. Can you tell her I apologize for letting her down again? She doesn't really want to talk to me now. All my best regards to her.
There's this caffeine filled gum I saw roundabout these parts, how about you just give Sweetie some of that? I'm sure her teacher will understand.
No chewing gum in school.
If they won’t make an exception about something a minor as a soda, which could be flat and put into an opaque container so it just look no different than water, they won’t make an exception here either.
