they've discovered them...

i tried to hide them. i tried so hard, but they escaped. there was just nothing i could do. now more and more people know all about them. what will i ever do with my snorts?

i figured i would try and hide my snorts as much as possible. after all, i was starting a new program, making new friends, and i just didnt want the snorts to be the first impression. while some people love my snorts (and that i'll just never understand), i know that others want to run in fear at the first hint of one.

thankfully, i made it through the first week of school without incident. then i started to get to know people... while that's always a good thing (no one really ever wants to be alone) it also means that my chance of snorting. Sure enough, it was last Monday's class on social issues that was the breaking point. Somewhere in the midst of acquiring way too much knowledge on chinese canadian history (yes, try and figure that out - the class is social issues in education - i just dont get it) i just lost it. i think it was round about the time that i won a canadian history quiz and for my prize i won a wonderful extra large pamphlet on...wait for it.... oh yes, chinese canadian history. i just laughed and laughed. the snorts tend to pour out the second i begin to laugh hard, and with the encouragement of all of the p.e. kids at my table (there's six of us in middle school) i lost it and snorted multiple times.

then there was the gym incident. in pe class, with the 5 other middle school pe people that i know and the 15 other people that i really don't know at all, i started laughing so hard (i still have no idea why) that i let out a huge snort - right as everyone else in the class was silent. i mean, this snort was so loud - you could actually hear it bouncing off the walls in the gym. as i just stood there cracking up, i heard all of the other middle school kids laughing their heads off too. glad to know i'm so entertaining.

today the snort count continued. i can't even remember how many times i snorted, but now that the pe guys are so aware of it, they do everything and anything that they can to make the snorts escape.

i had every intention of being the "professional teacher" this semester. of pretending to be grown up. now that they've escaped, i've thrown that out the window. oh well, at least i'm having fun laughing.
