I Hate Wasps!
After my last entry was posted and we had hamburgers for dinner and lemon bars for dessert most of us went our ways and I went downstairs as usual to do my own thing. I was at the computer doing something, I think looking up youtube videos when out of nowhere this really big wasp just flies past me and freaks me out. I closed my laptop, turned out my light and went upstairs hoping it would be attracted to light and leave my room. I told my family about it and my brother went looking for it in my room. I kind of assumed it left because it wasn't flying around, or bugging me or anything. I always kept my eyes open the whole time before I went to bed though. I was so sure it was gone until I was watching Star Trek Voyager before bed and sure enough it starts bugging me. I think it might have been behind my bed or something because it didn't bother me until I was sitting on it. I just kind of ignored it for a while. I was just sitting there watching Voyager when I put my fingers down right on the spot where it just HAPPENED to be and right after I registered it was there I got a very sharp, painful prick on my middle finger.
I promptly freaked out and panicked. At first I wasn't sure it was the wasp at first, I have never been stung by a wasp before last night so I didn't know what it felt like. I was afraid it had been a spider or something because of how painful it was. I was so freaked out I turned on my light and started looking around for it. The little pest was still on my bed! I got it to fly off the bed and around the room for a while, about 2 or 3 minutes. I couldn't get it, and I was too freaked out to just sleep there anyway, so I grabbed one of my pink blankets from my closet and a pillow and moved out into the family room. I made sure it didn't follow me out and shut my door.
I set up and then lied down on the couch. I just lied there just thinking about what happened. I was pretty upset and was still in shock a little bit. It made my heart beat kind of fast, it was scary. Right then Ronnie just happened to send me a message, I missed him by one minute, but I sent him back one telling him what had happened. I was so relieved to see he said something I actually started to cry. I was pretty genuinely freaked out by what had happened and it was just perfect timing for him to say something. I was able to relax and calm down after I sent him a message.
I went to sleep after this, and slept pretty good.
In the morning just the usual stuff happened, got ready for school, ate breakfast (Cocoa Krispies), listened to a bit of music, and then went to school a bit early today because my sister had a doctor's appointment.
I was pretty worn out and slept through my institute class. In English we learned more about the classes we have to take in order to graduate, and we actually made a list and organized it and stuff, so now I have a whole list of the classes I need to take.
Today was a review in Yoga for a test we are taking on Thursday. I didn't have to wear my yoga clothes today, so I just walked around the school for a while before class. I lost track of time and was a couple minutes late for yoga, but it was fine because the instructor started late. We just talked about everything that is going to be on the test, I tried to take notes but gave up because he was going to fast for me. I just listened after this.
After school I called my sister and she came and picked me up. We also picked up my mom. We went home after this and I just hung out for the rest of the day reading manga, doing stuff on twitter, and some other things that aren't worth mentioning. Oh, and I didn't see that wasp until after school, it was dead when we found it. I am so glad it's gone. I hope that is the last I see of any bugs in my room for a while.
I did watch the presidential debate for a little bit, but zoned out when I started reading my friends posts on facebook.
Anyway, so that is all for now. If I forgot to mention anything I will just add it later.

it is funny how something so small as a bug can send us humans into such a tizzy. last night while sitting on the couch an spider about the size of a quarter crawled past me. i about jumped out of my skin!!
maybe you should keep a fly swatter near your bed for things that fly about.
I got my first wasp sting when i was ten. A wasp somehow got up my pants and started stinging me; it must have gotten in them before i put em on. I ran yelling thru the house until the thing flew out of there. My five year old sister was watching all this and saw the wasp fly out and always had a phobia of bugs after that.
And if the human race ever goes extinct i'm sure the only living things will be bugs. Ugh.
Ouch!
