My Hilarious Life


So I just realized the other day, that my life is a series of hilarious moments. This realization came to me when in my family finance class of about 300 students, I had a T.V. sitcom moment. The class is held in the Eccles Science Center the best heated building on campus. However, it is also known to become a sauna in winter. This would be fine with me, but this class is not one you want to be overheated in. There is hardly ever an empty seat in class. It's full to capacity. I usually try to get there early so that I can scout out a seat, and look as if I don't want anyone to sit by me. (I am somewhat claustrophobic.) On this particular wednesday, walking in the room was like stepping out of a car during a hot summer in the south. It was muggy and humid in there! Disgusting! To make matters worse, I obviously wasn't doing a good job at seeming like a loner, because even before the rest of the row filled up, someone sat right beside me. The nerve! When there are still plenty of empty seats, you never sit directly by someone! This guy obviously didn't know the rules. He was nice enough, made small talk here and there, but he was HUGE! We're talking defensive line huge. I slid as far over to the other side as possible so I could breathe, and the class continued. But then, desperately searching for a seat another huge football lineman eyed the seat next to me. I prayed and prayed he'd find somewhere else, but lo and behold, he chose to sit on my left. So there I was, squidged between two huge football player sized men counting down the minutes until class was out. One had really bad breath, and the other had a really foul mouth. Both were sweaty, and overbearing. Yuck!

I was reminded at that instant of a sitcom I once saw with a similar situation. I immediately started laughing at the hilarity of the situation, which in turn caused stares from the linemen. But who cares! What a hilarious moment I was having! Sure it was a little uncomfortable but anyone who was watching us would have laughed at the tinyness of me in comparison to my huge friends. See my squished friends in the corner. That's how I felt.

Life is hilarious.
