It's like there's no off switch.
Yesterday I had one of those social interactions that, in the quiet moments for the rest of the day, you replay over and over in your head and groan quietly to yourself in embarrassed horror. You think, Why the heck did I do that? If only I had done this. Or that. Or anything other than what I actually did do. Oh yes. It was that awful.
As I stood there in front of my adolescent pysch professor, whom I respect tremendously, bumbling like a preteen adolescent girl asking a boy if he wants to sit next to me on the bus, I thought, Oh god. This is actually happening. What self-respecting, almost-twenty-three year old stutters while asking her professor for a written recommendation? I mean, honestly.
It was so embarrassing, but she could at least understand what I was asking of her and very graciously let me out of my misery accepted. And as traumatically easily as that, number two (out of three) recommendation for my upcoming December 1st deadline for the School of Ed was taken care of. The others up at bat are Kathy from the Woolman Semester and Erin from Cedar Square Homes, with a replacement hitter of Ms. Siddique (yet to be requested) from Blair High School's Academic Support program. Just to be safe in the event of some unknown calamity like the post office shutting down or my dog eating one recommendation. You know how that goes.
