dear mom and dad,

the other day i was teaching, and there was about ten minutes left in class and one of my students THREW UP. ewwww!!! i was in the middle of explaining something and i heard a gag noise and this poor girl got sick at her desk! it all happened so fast! she put her hand to her mouth and vomit oozed out of her nose, it was super nasty... i sent her to the bathroom, and then i sent the rest of class out b/c of the smell, and i wiped up the stuff on the students desk, book, chair, floor. woo, i held it together like a pro! i was so close to throwing up myself! but in front of the kids i kept it cool, showed (and genuinely had) concern for the girl who got sick, cleaned it up, dismissed class 5 min early. i am super-teacher!
