Tech Ed

i almost cut my finger off with a saw today. a cross-cutter saw. and i'm not being dramatic, the cut is pretty deep, haha.
so i was in tech 5th period and we were sawing scraps of wood when either

a. i was talking to alex because he made a comment about something or
b. i was just watching myself cut and was so stupid that the saw slipped and i more than nicked my finger

i prefer a. haha but i think it was b, only i wasn't really watching. i think i looked down and my hand slipped. so then i have this bleeding cut that's really bleeding itself out and i don't tell mr. deininger because sweetie, what kind of person cuts themself with a saw?? like nobody! this is why they let us all use them at the same time in the first place! but no, i had to go and get myself a nasty cut.
so i was going to wash it only water makes cuts bleed more, so i wrapped it in a 1.5 inch strip of paper towel (ooh math). then the strip wasn't working so i pressed my thumb against my finger - oh by the way, it was my pointer finger. on my left hand. because i saw with my right hand. :) - and asked mr. d if i could go to the bathroom and he was all like "yeah yeah" because he was teaching someone else how to saw, so they wouldn't slip and cut themselves like i did. oh but he still had no idea my finger was twisting in pain.
then i go to the bathroom and spend like 10 minutes in there with pieces of toilet paper because we don't have paper towels in the bathroom, we have those machines where it has the picture of you pressing a button and getting bacon. haha. i know. when i get back, i have like a minute left of class.
in 6th period i asked ms. hollingshead if i can go to the nurse because i cut myself. and we joked around, "no you can't go to the nurse. you'll just have to stay with your cut." teehee. ;]
the nurse was on her lunch break. at 6th period. well actually it was 1:30ish, but whatever. so i asked the lady at the main desk who told me to wash it, she didn't ask how i cut myself or how deep. and i washed it and it stung like crazy because i'm a big girl and --

big girls don't cry. :)
