The Ugliest Scene in my Life
I was walking back from Wells Fargo this morning because I had forgot the stupid paper that stated my new pin number that I needed in order to activate my shiny debit card, and I was strolling along, circling through my song list on my ipod; I was really concentrating because I wanted to hear "I See Stars." Well, I'm looking into my ipod, and BANG! my head hits the pole from some random traffic sign in the middle of the sidewalk. My head makes a violent back swing and I'm gasping from shock. This was at about 10:00 AM when everybody is beginning or coming from their classes in the MIDDLE of 21st Street! It was too dramatic of a scene to not laugh, so I let my laughs mask my embarassment and he-heed to myself. THEN, after I retrieved the pin from my old banana-smelling dorm along with sunglasses to protect my eyes from bruises resulting from my issues with coordination, I attempted another trip to the ATM. On the way, I stopped for a chat with Elizabeth, one of my neighbors who I accidentally told to do an assignment in the wrong format last night. I felt bad, but I still haven't told her that I was mislead. It's too late now; we already turned in the assignment. Sorry Elizabeth :( . I had music lingering in my ears with the clipped mass of ipod attached to my pocket, sunglasses bouncing on the buttons of my bleached polo t-shirt, and the anticipation of a vibration from the phone in my right hand. Suddenly I drop everything. The sunglasses clink on the rocked cement, the Ipod bounces a couple times, and my phone splatters somewhere I don't remember. I should have took this as a warning of things to come. My Mom always tells me that I'm too much in a hurry, but I like to be as productive as possible, so I do many things at once. I gathered my scattered posessions strewn out in bushes accompanying the squirrels, and I'm walking once again, humming along with the rock music, and BOOM-BUH-BOOM-BLAH-BLUGH. Oh my God it was the most embarassing thing that's happened to me since I've been in college. My sandal hit a raised piece of sidewalk and I tripped fifteen feet in front of me. My chin was an inch from the ground. The most embarassing part of it was that I didn't touch the ground. It wasn't a true fall. It was an insane dance of stupidity and ugliness. I felt like a fake. I needed to laugh at myself because it was such a horrible experience!!!!! I had no one to laugh at me !!! So I called Lynda.
