flow writing #74: body prompt – puffing

At what point did Mindi take a screenshot of us?

At first I couldn’t stop laughing, I can still feel the teardrop hanging on my eyelashes from bursting into laughter so hard I cried.

This was wonderful. I’m the kind of person who laughs at moments that are suppose to be serious. I remember in one of my Geography courses at UVic during my undergrad we were learning about cemetery planning – like how do you fit all these dead people into a beautiful ‘park’ within the city. There are urban planners that look specifically at this issue.

So we were on a field trip, my friends and I were joking about something and just as I stepped off the bus, in the cemetery, immediately adjacent my professor, I burst out laughing.

My professor gave me a bit of a side-eye – I ensured him that I wasn’t laughing at the dead people but pointed to my friend who I could blame for my outburst.

My prof. had a twinkle in his eye and said, “I get it, I would’ve laughed too”.

Larry McCann was the reason I got into planning (urban planning) – I realize I have to qualify that for those who don’t work in or near the sector.

We were almost always out of the classroom.
