a man got knocked down by a truck
he then was sent to the hospital
he found out that he was paralysed from the neck all the way down
he lay on his bed
and waited for a miracle to happen
one day,
he had a patient next to him
a friend
he could talk to
his new friend was fun and cheerful and positive
he talked about all the wonderful things outside this hospital
about the flowers and trees
of children playing and laughing
about the stars and moon
and of falling rain.
the man soon got really jealous of his friend
jealous that he was able to be near a window to experience all these exciting things
everyday, as he lay there on his bed
he grew more and more angry and jealous of his friend
one night,
his friend was coughing badly
he woke up, hearing him cough
"would you help me called the nurse?" his friend plead
he remembered how much he hated him
and ignored him
in a few minutes
there was dead silence
the next morning
the nurse wheeled the bed out
he felt happy and asked the nurse
"may i be put next to the window?"
the nurse looked at him and said
"there isnt any window!"
he was shocked
"but that man could see everything that was outside of this hospital! he told me all about it!"
"yes, i understand, it is a shame how a good man like him has passed on," she said
"but he is blind, he just said all those to cheer you up."
because of his jealousy and anger
the man lost a friend.

So, many interesting things, and uninteresting things happened over the last 2 weeks, but i have been over my head with studying and homework to blog about it. I just finished a Math Test today, and I hope i did alright. Just going to list out a few key things that happened last week. Dissected a lung during Biology, Antonia lied to me about her birthday, very sorry i didn't get anything for you yet, LLTC B OT Meeting and that is about it.
Now on to the current stuff. Had basketball today, and it was so humid that my shirt was soaked with sweat after the training. Mr Toh actually said that I was improving. Brandon Young, a fag from SJI and formerly from SMS, came to the school on Monday. Planning to start a Legion of Mary. We need a group of committed people for this! Okay, that is about it. National Day tomorrow and some women wants to paint my pants white cause i don't have white pants and another, wants to lend me her skirt tomorrow. Happy National Day! Long Weekend! A Math Test next week! Chinese Test in 2 weeks! Someone please kill me!
