so i went to timothy eaton business and technical institute (basically … school for those who can’t make it to collegiate level) for that leadership conference thing
\nit was a dud
\nturns out the real conference was yesterday (as there was a principal’s meeting at t.eaton today …) — they rescheduled at the last moment or something, AND no one showed up yesterday either (except the five leader ambassadors from t.eaton … duh)<\/p>\n
so there we were sitting in that school … i know this sounds conceited and … mean (and it is), but you could actually feel the not-so-bright-ness radiating from the school
\nand we were talking to a healthcare teacher, she had a pipe-cleaner flower pinned to her jacket (the type kindergarten students make and feel proud about)
\nella, from our group, says “oh, that’s a pretty flower!”
\nand the teacher said “yeah, one of my students made it for me just this morning”
\ni burst out laughing, tried to restrain myself but i couldn’t
\nand i started trying to pretend i was choking
\nbut i was doing a crappy job
\nella tried to cover up “are you okay?”
\ndidn’t work, that teacher gave me dirty looks
\ni can often restrain my laughter but the past few days i feel … giddy
\n(monday in bio class, i couldn’t read a simple paragraph and had to turn it over to annie, my partner, because i just kept laughing throughout)<\/p>\n
then we helped her out with … math … compound interest, mind you (grade eleven math)<\/p>\n
as soon as we heard that our cab was there, we all stood up and were like “let’s get the heck out of here!”<\/p>\n
what a great way to waste the really late start
\ni could’ve slept in or done homework instead of buggering around a b.t.i.<\/p>\n
