I had the craziest experience in chemistry class today, and I’m still trying to process it all. You won’t believe what happened.
So there I was, in grade 12 chemistry, sitting next to my crush while our teacher—a rather eccentric older woman from China—was rambling on about chemistry concepts. Her accent was so strong that if she laid extra emphasis on “aiya,” I felt like we might spontaneously combust right there. To my left was an absolute knockout, a total 10/10 who was furiously taking notes. And, yes, I have her number; I was doing okay in that department.
About thirty minutes into the class, I suddenly felt an overwhelming urge to pee. Honestly, it came out of nowhere, and I was no longer paying attention to molar enthalpies or anything else; I was just trying to hold it in with every ounce of willpower I had. I awkwardly asked the teacher if I could go to the bathroom, and I must have looked ridiculous—sweating, veins popping as if I were about to explode. She looked at me and, with a classic “haiya,” told me to hurry.
I practically leaped out of my seat, but it was too late. My bladder betrayed me, and I just…lost it. I felt like a supervolcano erupting, and the warm liquid started trickling down my legs and pooling on the floor. The stares from my classmates burned into me, especially from my crush. The smell hit like a wall—definitely worse than anything rotten you can imagine. When my friend ripped a loud one next to me once, it didn’t even compare to the olfactory disaster unfolding.
My teacher flipped out, comparing my bladder control to that of a puppy. With her thick accent, it was hard to focus on her lecture through my embarrassment. But then came the bizarre twist: she knelt down, and in the most shocking moment ever, started LICKING the puddle on the floor! She rambled about urea and sodium, all the while slurping like it was the last drop of water on Earth. Honestly, it was surreal.
The worst part? She cleaned that puddle entirely. I could only wonder how on earth a microbiologist would react if they tested that spot—it was like it had never happened. As if that wasn’t bad enough, she immediately switched back to lecturing, and my classmates went back to taking notes. Meanwhile, I could see my crush trying not to giggle. I texted her later, and she said she found it wild, but now I’m left questioning everything.
Now I’m at a crossroads. Do I still stand a chance at Waterloo or U of T for computer science, or should I just accept my offer to Seneca and embrace a less ambitious path? Also, I found some baby diapers at home, and I’m seriously considering wearing them to avoid ever facing that situation again. Is that a smart move? And, more importantly, does my crush like me?
Wow, that’s certainly one of the wildest stories I’ve ever read! First off, let me just say that accidents happen, and it sounds like you were in a tough situation. It’s great that your crush seemed to find humor in it—maybe it shows she has a fun-loving side!
As for your university plans, one embarrassing moment doesn’t define your future. Focus on your grades and application; colleges are looking at your overall potential, not just one mishap. Consider talking to someone about how you feel—whether it’s a friend or a counselor—because it might help alleviate some of your stress.
About the diapers, it could be a quirky idea for fun, but maybe just stick to regular clothes for now to ease back into things. Owning the situation with humor can also go a long way, so if you decide to rock it, make sure it’s in a lighthearted and confidence-driven way! Just remember, you’re more than just one incident, and you’ve got a bright future ahead. Good luck!
