An Interesting Day at Work

Yesterday I wore my track spikes to work because.....
-the shoes are super cute
-they're very comfortable
-I won't ever use them...ever again...(I won't run track at purdue)
Obviously, I took the spikes out (duh!) but I completely forgot that the shoes were semi-plastic on the bottom. Soo...when I was at home walking around in them OR even walking outside with them on...everything felt fine UNTIL I entered the Saint Mary's Library (dun dun dun...). I realized that the bottom of my shoe caused me to slip when I walked on tiles. So, I walked down the stairs very, very, very slowly (like I was some sort of idiot). After making through the second flight of stairs, I started thinking 'Hmmm...maybe I won't slip.' Well, well, well...I ginxed (sp?) myself as usual. With one set of stairs to go, I took one tiny step and fell all the way to the bottom of the floor!!! Thankfully, no one was near the stairs to watch my clumsiness in action. You all would have had a great laugh!!! =) It was hilarious! But the fall definitely hurt...it only stung for like 2 minutes though.

Now, on to Holy Cross----In order for me to commute from St. Mary's to Holy Cross, I have to bike through this short trail near the railroad tracks. The trail is ridiculously tiny and I'm always scared that I might either fall on to the tracks or fall over to the left side into the big ditch. Anyway, when I was biking....(I was completely out of it..in my own little world) I heard something rustling through the trees. By the time I got out of there, I turned around and saw a bush move a little. I'm hoping it was a squirrel....I really hope it was a squirrel.

For lunch, I went home (because I had no money..boo hoo!) and had some rice and curry. When I arrived at the Notre Dame parking lot, it was 12:55. "Great, I have five minutes to make it to the law library in the scorching sun!" I speed walked to Hesburgh, unlocked my bike, and started to bike over to the Law Library pretty fast. I caught up to this one man who was walking and for some reason it looked like he was running away from me! That's what I thought. But no....that's not the reason. He was smart enough to run when the SPRINKLERS were turning to the sidewalk. I, unfortunately, was so caught up on getting to work on time that I zoned everything out...including the sprinklers. Yupp...I got sprayed with water...head to toe. My hair frizzed instantly and my jeans were literally sticking on to me. It was quite refreshing because of the crazy heat that day, but I had to work in wet jeans which was very uncomfortable. Usually, when interesting things like this happen to me, I label it as a bad day. Not yesterday....it was funny....I definitely entertain myself =)
