I stayed home sick on Monday (just a cold), so on Tuesday when I walked into school, everyone looked shocked. They thought I was going to be gone all week, because instead of plain sick, all they heard was possible INFLUENZA. But, they let me stay since I don’t have the flu, and I am glad because I want to teach! So I gave in today and decided to wear a mask at school, since I am sick and I want to give everyone peace of mind. Everyone is freaking out about the influenza. At first it feels like everything is muffled and unclear. After adjusting it incessantly for 2 hours, I think I finally got the feeling of it on my face. I think I like it. No one knows what I am thinking, because half my expressions are covered by the mask. I can talk to myself and no one knows that my lips are moving. I wore it in my car today and I can sing and no one knows that I am singing! I even wore it home; I feel like I am being stealth; who am I? Oh, that’s right you don’t know. For you all you know, I could be Japanese! So cool, everyone should wear a mask sometimes. It would be cool to decorate them too. Like you can draw Twizzler lips on it, or an alien mouth, or perhaps use it as a halloween costume. I think I will have a decorate-a-mask-and-rock-it party for my birthday coming up soon! ;)
