An Astoundingly Awkward Afternoon

Haha just kidding, my whole day was full of being embarrassed but I like alliteration.

Alright, lets go:

So this morning, I woke up at 8:45... and my first class is at 9. I threw on some sweatpants and a peacoat, which, combined, made an eyesore of an ensemble. I saw that one cute guy who lives down the hall, who also happens to be in my psych class, and the last thing I wanted was for him to witness this get-up. So I was walking behind him, hardly darning to breathe as I tried to conceal the sound of my footsteps. Apparently the sound was conspicuous enough for him to hear, because he turned around and held the door open for me. (In Kashmir's version of the story, I wanted him to open the door for me and then he took one look at me and refused to hold it open. Definitely a better story.)

After English I went to the MP for breakfast, and as I was walking back (still in my peacoat-sweatpants work of art) guess who I saw? Cute boy from down  the hall. I was hoping he wouldn't look at me, so I stared directly ahead of myself but kept him in my peripheral vision. I was good for quite some time, nearly made my escape, and in one sweeping movement, he looked right at me.

Up until math, everything was going fine. Then during class I got really bored and decided to play some air penguin. Of course, I didn't have the volume turned off, and squeaking penguin noises burst from the speaker of my phone. Needless to say, I got some glares thrown in my direction.

* An added note for anyone in my family reading this saying that I shouldn't be playing with my phone in class. I did not pay attention at all last chapter, and got a 93% on the exam. Planning on doing the same this chapter

Then I had to hop on my bike (the one with the wet butt cushion) and ride into town. I was jammin' and having a great time, and then I decided to actually start singing out loud. Riding a bike uphill requires a fair amount of breath, so the singing wasn't exactly up to par. But it's not like anyone could hear me, right? WRONG. Of course, another girl was in proximity to me on her bike.

And then I was eating dinner with two girls I met through ballet. I was saying something, and one of them asked me a question. The casual "yeah" was in my head, but of course that's not what came out of my mouth. Instead, I underestimated my vocal chords and practically screamed it. It seemed like they noticed it, but not to the extent that I did, so I could have been just imagining how loud I was.

Finally, about 20 minutes ago, I was walking back from the MP and to my dorm with my ice cream cone in hand. I was forgetting to breathe (I do that sometimes... Am I weird?) and as I finally remembered, I went through the motions... inhale the air... exhale the air... and simultaneously exhale a chunk of ice cream. God, I'm majestic.
