if you hadn’t already heard, i velcro’d my face to a pulp today.

here’s the scoop: every morning i come in early to set up and such. one of my tasks is to turn the gymnasium lights on. the thing is, the switches are on the wall opposite the door. so i blindly walk across to the other side in the pitch black every morning to turn them on. yesterday we had set up an obstacle course, and cleaned up everything but the gymnastic mats that we used, which were folded up in the middle of the gym. so, as you may have guessed, on my way across the usually-empty gymnasium, i fell over the mat. on the way down i hit my wrist on the floor (luckily my watch was unbroken) and you know that velcro that’s on the mats to attach them together? — my face literally was velcro’d by the scratchy part. i spent about five minutes laughing hysterically, in a pitch black empty gymnasium, before i realized i should probably get up before someone saw me.

i’m currently bandaged and feeling a bit better, although i do look a bit like nelly the rapper. oh well.
