I admit it... I'm such a spaz! I went into Sav-ons today after work cuz I needed a new tube of lipstick. Anyway, I go to the check out counter to find a cute cashier working there. Trying to be smooth and everything, I casually hand over my items. Since I was low on cash, I decided to charge it on my credit card. I couldn't even say "credit" correctly, as I stupidly fumbled over my words. Then while trying to slide my card through the machine, I couldn't even hold it the right direction! Dude, I've had my credit card forever! And only now I don't know how to use it! When I finally got it correctly, he said, "Thata girl, you're a quick one." :flashes huge smile: Then cuz he had been staring at me try to slide my card through the machine for so long, he said, "Hey, nice picture. You come here often?" I managed to give him a weird nod and shake at the same time. :more smiling: My receipt finally scrolls out and he hands me a pen to sign. (Thank goodness I was able to sign my name!) But then the big klutz in me came out and as he handed me my items, I knock his pen to the floor. Naturally, I bend down to pick up the pen and this weirdo behind me whistled at me! I was so embarassed!!! I was wearing nice black slacks, and I guess there were kinda tight around the butt area. I dunno... but believe me, I DID NOT do the bend and snap thing!!!! Needless to say, I walked out red-faced with the cashier guy still smiling in disbelief. (He wasn't even all that good-looking!!!!) At least my experience wasn't as embarassing as the guy in front of me. He bought a pack of Trojan condoms and it needed a price check! The cashier dude used the microphone to ask!!!! I swear... that was real cruel!

I finally turned in my Alumni Scholarhip application today. Part of the application said to "Describe in essay form how you have developed as a leader to this point. Use as many pages as necessary." Simple essay, right? WRONG! I ended up pulling an all-nighter and writing 8 pages!!!! Even with 8 pages, I couldn't include everything that I wanted to say. It's a sad thing when you go to sleep AFTER the sun is already up! I guess Ben was right, I AM a big nerd.

On the upside, I met my students today. They're so cute and tiny. Bryan is sooo hilarious! Though I miss not being able to work with Dennis, I must admit, Bryan does a pretty good job of taking his place... taking his place in telling corny jokes, that is! (No offense, Dennis, I've got nothing but love for ya!) Bryan came dressed in shorts today cuz his mom sent all his long pants over to the East Coast already! I guess his mom can't wait for him to leave. (Bryan, go make friends with that girl that picks her nose. What an interesting hobby, how can she not be interesting?!) Anyway, it's so refreshing to actually LOOK FORWARD TO GOING TO WORK! I can only hope that I'll find something as worthy as this in the future...
