darn shoe

In my oh-so-long experience here at BYU, I’ve learned that an untied shoe pretty much guarantees an embarrassing moment. Whether it be bending over to tie your dysfunctional footwear without realizing that your pants are, well, exposing your bum to the entire world; OR causing a traffic jam as the hurried students behind you fail to see you crouched in shoe-tying position which inevitably results in a disaster comparable to a failed game of leap frog. And yes, I am sad to say that these have BOTH happened to me.

But because the described events aren’t embarrassing enough, I decided to add one more to the list. Today, while walking through the library, I glumly looked down to find my shoe untied. Thus the internal debate began, “do I look more stupid walking around with an untied shoe or bending over to tie my shoe?” Maybe these thoughts don’t cross anyone else's mind but hey, they are relevant things to think about! In the midst of this rapid thought process, I was struck with, what I believed to be, a pure genius idea. Just up ahead I spotted a lovely display case with an inch thick edged border falling just above knee. Why not, I thought, place my foot on said ledge to tie my shoe, thus avoiding leap frog and saggy pants?! Like I said…pure genius. So I made my way to the display case, tucked my notebook underneath my arm, gracefully swung my foot onto the greatly-appreciated lip, and began tying my shoe. Ahh it felt good to be a genius—for a second at least. Just as I was about to give my bunnies some ears (shoe tying lingo for all you unawares) my foot began slipping and it was too late…there was nothing I could do to stop what happened next. My foot flopped to the floor; my unbalanced body tipped over causing my head to mercilessly smack the display case; I made a horrible noise that I probably wouldn’t be able to make ever again even if I wanted to; my notebook and the loose papers inside it went everywhere; and before I knew it I was on the floor. At this point the only thing left to do was use my hair as a blanket to cover my ashamed face and crouch in a ball on the floor sulking in my own indignity. I would like to say no one saw this sad event but unfortunately it occurred during class changes and the halls were bustling, to say the least. After what felt like years of being ground ridden, I made sure all passersby were new faces (aka they hadn’t witnessed the flop), I pretended to tie my shoes, and I slowly got to my feet and continued on my way. Oy vey.

On the bright side, I probably made someone’s day today as they got to witness a one of a kind show. Stay tuned for episode 4 of shoe tying…it will inevitably occur, though I myself am terrified to see what it promises...

Woooops...

There is nothing worse than waking up to a big puddle of drool you produced during a mid-lecture nap.

Oh wait, there is:

Having everyone around you see the big puddle of drool you produced during a mid-lecture nap; definitely not one of my finer moments.

I, however, would like not to take the blame for said nap and instead point my finger at my psychology professor. It’s not my fault his lectures are unbearably boring.

Oh well, lesson learned. Next time I'll fall asleep with my mouth closed.

make a wish...

No wait.

Make a wish on 11/11/11 at 11:11…its bound to come true. So make it a good one.

I’ve been thinking about my wish for a whole week now, haha.

Also, i've had a few other things on my mind.

Sometimes school gets like this...

or this...

Yaaaaa that pretty much sums up school for me right now.

And speaking of school, I love school, truly i do. That being said, i absolutely CANNOT WAIT until Thanksgiving and Christmas break. Text books are great and all, but i've been craving a good read. I can't wait to read whatever i want...

Just a few more weeks. Crazy how time flies.

this morning

This is what it looked like when I came to work this morning:

I have two words for you:

NOT. READY.

I know the snow is only in the mountains, and it really is just a bit of frost, but still. The snow is there and it is threatening my happiness as it slowly creeps down the mountains and the temperature continues to drop. Gulp. I think the days of warm weather are officially over...sigh.


On another note, have you seen this video?

I don't know whether or not i should laugh at it or just think it is completely awful...



You sneaky mom!



Aaaaand just one more clip for your viewing pleasure.

Unlike the last video, you can feel okay about laughing at this one...

Have a happy Saturday!!

Tragic

OMG. Today at work I was attacked by one of those heavy-duty-i'm-so-big i-could-staple-through-cement staplers. Moses could have parted the red sea with how much blood I lost. Look for my obituary in tomorrow's paper...

"Tragic Death at BYU Campus when Girl gets violently CHOMPED on"

Darn Stapler.
