So even though I've shared with most of you this story, I thought I should post it for those who haven't heard my new "animal encounter."
Last week, I'm sitting in class and a wasp comes into the room. It decides to nest on the smoke alarm which happens to be directly behind me. Half jokingly-half seriously, I tell the girls behind me to scream or something if it decides to come down b/c I'm facing forward for the lecture. They agree and I face forward to listen to our Asian professor (who has a VERY thick accent...yes...this is important). We get half way through the class and I begin to hear stirring and squeals behind me. I turn around and the wasp has decided to visit the other side of the room but is now heading back to the front of the classroom, straight for my face. I grab the first thing I can think of and that is the 2 sheets of paper my professor has handed to us. I swing with all my might to try and hit the wasp and thought I missed so now, I'm up and out of my chair saying "Oh dang! Now I just made it mad!" The girls behind me tell me I've stunned it and it is now on their table. I quickly take my sheets of paper, cover the wasp, and smack the papers down on the table like there's no tomorrow. Everyone who is not laughing is now clapping for my heroic efforts. After 3 minutes of pure chaos involving my fight with the wasp, I throw the squished wasp away and sit back down at my table. As I sit down, my professor exclaims in her thick accent, "Lydia, now you know why you don't have any boyfriends." :)
