3rd Term is Over! Hallelujah!

3rd term defiantly is the hardest. Mr. Thompson was right. This week has been so crazy with big projects due, and big tests. But also, my week has so far had one very funny experience.


Yesterday, I was in my clothing class sewing my quilt. At the beginning of the year Mrs. Green always tells you the stories of the people that cut off their finger or even sew through their fingers. Each time I hear those stories I always think of how dumb that is. I mean seriously, who would really sew their finger? Me.


I was in the back of the room sewing all of my little squares together. Singing to the music, talking, but working of course. Working very hard. :) And all of a sudden my foot was on the pedal, and I was pushing on it. To my surprise when my finger started hurting very bad. I was soon to realize that I had just sewn my finger. No there was no thread in it and no the needle didn't break. But yes, there was a lot of pain.


After I realized that I had just sewn my finger, I was scared, and very worried, but I also thought it was quite funny. I made sure I didn't sew my finger off or anything, and then I looked around for Mrs. Green wondering if I should tell her or not. She wasn't in the room so I decided I wouldn't. I sewed a few more squares to where the pain just got so bad I couldn't take it any longer. The cut wasn't too big, just very deep. So it wasn't bleeding to bad.


I slowly got out of my chair, and slowly walked up to tell Mrs. Green what I had just done. I then said, "Uh...Mrs. Green?"


"Yes?"


"Uh..I just sewed my finger."


Mrs. Green laughed a little, and then made sure I was ok. I was still in shock of what I had done. She made me first, wash my hands with soap and water, then put hand sanitizer in the cut, and then some goop, and then the band-aid. It felt much better.


My finger still hurts today, and I am struggling to type this without my index finger. One of my friends told me if we were to have a bet at the beginning of the semester of who would sew there finger, she would have chosen me. But to me, it sounds just like something I would do. It was quite an interesting experience. I hope none of you have to experience sewing your finger.
