Some things in this world . . .

just make me laugh.

For example:

1. when you and some other stranger are walking down an empty hall and all of a sudden they become very interested in their phone, the bricks, that hole in the roof, their shirt, etc. They look everywhere except at you. The best thing to do in this instance is to put on a smile and stare at their face. And if you're me, you start laughing inside because you know they are avoiding looking at you.

2. When people don't stop at stop signs but do stop at roundabout entrances. ???? How much more obvious can it get when you see a red sign that says STOP and a yellow sign that says YIELD???? ha.ha.

3. When you're making odd noises with your mouth while sitting at the dinner table, and your dad turns to your youngest brother and says, "Say excuse me." Oh how I wish I'd had a camera.

4. When your cold catches a cold and you can't yell or talk loud. It's the worst when you're walking behind your best friend and you say her name to get her attention but all that comes out is some kind of croak. I won't try to explain the weird looks I got.

5. When you get a drink from the focet and then go to blow your nose and all of a sudden you have to burp and sneeze at the same time. So you do. Yes, this did happen to me and no, I'm not going to tell you how it sounded.

6. When it's fall break but all you've done all day is homework, and the ACT is at the end of the week. This is when I laugh tears of sadness.

7. When I wear a short sleaved shirt on the first A-day, nearly freezing to death, and then come to school the next A-day wearing a sweatshirt. It turns out to be the one day the district decides to crank up the heat.

8. When your friend wants to give you a high five but you are carrying three textbooks in one hand and a violin in the other. So he decides to give you an elbow-five so you both stick out your elbows. Unfortunately, neither one of you realized that a student was walking by . . . Yes, both of us just kinda parted, walking in different directions.

9. When Mr. Hanks makes up a joke in the middle of class. It went something like this: "So now you multiply both sides by sinx to get rid of sin. I call this clearing your sinex-es :) good times. good times.

10. When you sign the "Graduating Class of 2012" poster and you realize that now you have to graduate.


All in all, this week was the longest month of my life. And I loved it because I learned to LaUgH :)

love,
