Sorry

i was in a rush while leaving my dorm today, and someone held the door for me. Being silly and in a rush, instead of saying thank you, i said sorry by accident...

she looked confused and asked me "why would you be sorry??"

But since i was running and not expecting any sort of real interaction with the girl that held the door for me, i ended up shouting over my shoulder "i dont know! i didnt mean to, im sorry!"

then i realized that i apologized for apologizing at least twice.
so i just kept running the opposite direction from the girl who held the door for me.

Ash Wednesday

i almost told a girl she had something on her forehead today until i got closer and realized it was in the shape of a cross...
and that it was ash wednesday... whooops

Eating Fruit

2 instances of fruit awkwardness:

1. i was walking through the dining hall and i made accidental eye contact with this guy. this was awkward for two reasons: one, we held this eye contact for far too long, and two, he took a huge bite of banana while we were still accidentally staring at each other.

2. i forget how loud apples are. i often bring one to class to eat for breakfast when i'm running late (essentially every day), and i eat it during class. this is especially unfortunate when he asks a question and no one knows the answer, and the only sound is me trying to quietly chew an apple, which is pretty much impossible.

Checking Books Out of Davis

i went to get a book from davis the other day, so i went up to the desk to go check it out. i walk up there, and the girl behind the desk is reading, and apparently didnt hear me walk up to the desk.

so i stand there for a minute or so, while she reads, and still doesnt see me. in order to get her attention sorta subtly, i kinda put the book down on the desk in front of her. she finally notices that im standing there and looks up at me as though i, the most boring and insignificant thing ever, am drawing her away from something amazing that she is reading, and that she just cant be bothered with whatever it is that i need.

this look surprises me so much that for a moment, i just stare back at her. i finally compose myself enough to ask "can i check this book out, please?"

she sighs, rolls her eyes, and takes my one card and is done checking the book out in about 5 seconds. she put the book back on the counter with a little here-you-go-thanks-for-bothering-me smile, and goes back to reading.

its cool, girl behind the desk, i know that taking a five second break to do the one, and essentially only, thing you have to do all day must be rough.

Gum and Poli Sci

during my class this morning i accidentally spit my gum onto my notes while trying to blow a bubble.

this would have been more fine if the dude in front of me wasn't answering a question, but since he was the teacher and half the classroom was looking in my direction.

i tried to avoid all eye contact as i put it back in my mouth and continued to chew it...
