So. I being the highly intelligent, cautious creature that I am, I managed to injure myself last night. In the one way, naturally, that would ensure the highest ratio of physical pain to actual damage taken.
How, you ask?
I stepped out of watercolor class for a bit to get a snack, and sat on a desk that was only supported on one side, which was outside the classroom on the concrete sidewalk to eat it. Mistake number one. I had the suspicion that that desk was going to injure me somehow, but I wasn't sure how. So I went ahead and did it anyway, because I'm usually pretty lucky and hey, I'm only just turning 19, I'm still YOUNG AND INVINCIBLE.
Mistake number two was when I got off to throw away my trash. See, the desk's supports were up against the wall. Instead of dismounting at the side, where it might actually have been stable, I slid directly forward. Towards the side of the desk that was not supported and therefore not stable.
So the desk tipped over and deposited me - still sitting up with my spine vertical - directly onto my ass from about two or three feet up. Did I mention the ground was concrete?
I'm much better now than I was last night - in the sense that last night, I was shaking, having some difficulty speaking coherently, in a mild state of shock, and crying like a baby. Today, my ass just hurts like a fucking bitch.
Oh, and of course, it just so happens that my finals are next week. You've gotta love my sense of timing.

I'm sorry you hurt yourself. How come you and I are cursed to injure ourselves in stupid ways on campus?
::Hugs:: Feel better! And use lotsa pillows to sit.
