Return of the Klutz!
Also known as: Me.
This morning the bus was about 5 minutes late and the bus driver just didn't seem to care. I knew I'd have to run to make the train so I sat close to the back door so I would be able to get out faster. As the bus was pulling up to the station the train was coming up the tracks and pulling up to the platform--just I had predicted--so I shot out of the bus and RAN up the stairs and practically jumped into the train. (Yes, you read that right: I jumped. I don't care, I made it. XD) However, my flip flop also tripped on the stairs so that made me fall on my landing. Yeah, I'm special. XD I caught myself on the pole in the train, but I scraped my knee a little. No biggie, though. I made everyone in the train look at me and everyone was so nice because my sunglasses went flying and they were helping me to get up (even though I got up by myself). I also crashed in front of one of the SMU professors who I ride the bus with. Nice icebreaker, if I do say so myself, because we ended up talking about scanning electron microscopes, diatoms, allergens, and other geeky scientific stuff. I think he was surprised I was actually interested and I was holding a decent conversation with a fair amount of scientific terms. *dies*
Oh yeah! I also forgot: I did all this with blisters on my feet (yet again). And now I am happily soaking my poor feet and nursing my lovely red/blue/green badge of "dare-devilism" on my knee. Go me. XD
