Today, my bookbag was tangled on the leg of my desk. So I bent down to free it and banged my elbow -quite hard- on the desk, striking a certain nerve that we like to call the funnybone, even though it's a nerve, and it's not funny. Whoever decided to call it the "funnybone" sure has a lot of nerve and a perverse sense of humor.

Anyway, I thought it was just going to hurt for a few seconds. Nope! I got dizzy, my arm tingled, two of my fingers were numb, and I was seeing little floating green spots. Next thing I know, there are two school nurses in the classroom (when the heck did they walk in?!) telling me I fainted. Apparently nurses like to use similes a lot- "white as a sheet", "pale as anything", etc. Then they phoned my mom in, and we went to the doctor, who told me that it's just what my nerves do. I strike a certain one and I faint. It's also the reason the thought of doctors, dentists, orthodontists, vaccinations, and certain images make me dizzy.

So, I spent an entire hour doing that, and then I got back to school just in time for geometry. I hate geometry. Then I had to endure an entire day of "I heard you fainted" from all of the male idiots in the classes below me. That sucks.
