Life's tough, get a helmet.

I seem to have an unfortunate habit of hitting my head against various objects. I can't even count the number of timest that I've walked into a pole, a door, got out of a car painfully... Really, it's a wonder I'm not in a coma by now.

So in Gym, we were playing volleyball. And I really, really suck at sports. As in, when we played football in middle school, my *four* person team eventually gave up on me and told me to be the mascot. And volleyball's no exception. But anyway, I was the setter (since we rotate) and my team was all "You have to get the ball! You do, you do!" So the other team serves the ball, it comes towards me, I run toward it.... and it hits me in the face. Yeah, I'm talking full-on, smushing my nose, hitting me in the face. But it gets even better. The ball bounces OFF of my face, goes up, then comes down and hits me on the head, before finally leaving me alone. Not exactly my best moment.

Then, this morning, a girl in my class picked up a desk to move it. And she swung it. And it hit me on the side of my head. Not fun.

Ow. Since you described those two head-hitting incidents right after each other, I can't help imagining them happening right after each other, and that would really hurt!
