the period project

rant fifty-three: first period

anonymous 

My fist period arrived on my first day in a new city, and also my first day at a new school.

I remember my thoughts that morning. "Great, just great. What if I bleed through? Wonderful way to say hello.".

It was an absolute nightmare. By lunch I had bled through my.underwear..Blood hadn't touched my pants yet, thank god.

I went to the nurse to recieve a sanitary napkin or something, but was greeted by the teenager who had given me the tour of the school this morning.

"Shoot." I had thought.

She asked what I needed and im like...

"Ermm.....well...uh..."

She nodded and showed me where everything was.

God what a wonderfully awful day

My point...periods suck. They come at the most inopportune times. Why has mother nature.put this curse on us?
