Awkward and Awesome Thursday!

So, I didn't have much happen in my world this week- but I noticed that apparently this summer I made a post and didn't actually hit "publish post." So, I leave you with an Awkward/Awesome post dated July 28, 2011:


Awkward:
-Attempting to mail packages (prepaid) from American University. They can't take them for the mailman to come pick them up(even if you schedule a pickup) because it is personal property. They can't take personal property. Yet, this is the same desk that holds our packages from the mailman for us to pick them up. Their rules are ridic.
-Buying a day pass for the Metro for my last day in DC (I always buy weekly passes on Thursdays). However, I totally wasn't thinking-- because they don't start until 9:30 am. I was with a group of 37 other WINS people, and my card wouldn't work. The station manager took forever helping me, and our train arrived. He comes to me and says, "You made a mistake. These start at 9:30." It was 7:30.... Oops. I felt so dumb and pretty much wanted to cry. He said, "I am doing you a favor because I see you are in a hurry" and handed me a one-trip pass. I ran down the escalator and made it just in time for the Metro doors to slide shut in front of my face. Needless to say, I missed the train and met up with everyone else at our transfer stop. Metro: 1   Katy: 0
-Trying to give a "speech" to say how thankful I am for everyone at work and how much I will miss it, but having to stop so I wouldn't cry.
-Doing anything while sitting at my desk. The only room for it is right in front of the door. Anytime I sit there and someone wants to leave or open the door, I have to move. Nobody's fault but my own-- I picked the lofted bed and awkward desk when I got to DC so that my roommates wouldn't have to deal with it.
-Mis-writing someone's name on a thank you card and not having white-out. Hopefully they don't notice the scribbles?

Awesome:
-Received a super legit certificate that is fixed to a wooden plaque. Nicer than what my diploma will look like! I received it from one of the 3 board members at my job, who I really liked.
-Finding my long lost chips in my work's vending machine on my last day. These chips are the best!
-Getting to tour the Pentagon
-Getting a new phone that works AND doesn't have a shattered screen!! Yippee!
-Getting a surprise cupcake going-away party at my work!

Awkward and Awesome Thursday

I'm back!!! Here is the Awkward/Awesome Thursday of (approximately) the past week or two of my life. I even put some pictures on it! I promise that I will be back to blogging like a real person soon. Hope you enjoy, because my life sure has been enjoyable lately. :)


Awkward:
-Getting 5 missed calls from a person while I was in class today. They were from the 915, and I realized they were trying to call 915, not 918. They left a voicemail that made absolutely no sense. Apparently "Hi, you've reached Katy..." didn't clarify that I am not in fact a Dentist.
-Taking 2 minutes to convince that person that the 918 is in Tulsa, Oklahoma and that there is no way I could be their dentist.
-Not blogging for 2-3 months. I still haven't looked at my Google Reader. Terrified.
-20 minute long skylink ride at the DFW airport, with no air circulation in my suit and heels. It was only running in one direction- and I was one terminal away, the wrong direction. 
-Walking in a suit with your backpack and the skirt rising up with every step.
-Accidentally confusing your black napkin with your black skirt at a recruitment dinner.
-Your taxi driver not saying a word other than "yes" and "okay."
-Your taxi driver not having change.
-Driving your mom's mini-van because your car got totaled(story on this to come).
-I think I am getting tennis-elbow.
-Sleeping on a plane with your mouth wide open.
-Being that young, somewhat small girl, who has to sit in between two large men on a plane who originally had their armrests up. Nope.
-Not sleeping for about a month and thus making lots of mistakes and losing the ability to speak properly.
-My ring finger is a 1/4 size. The class ring company only makes whole and half sizes, so I got the half size above. Cold front means that my ring doesn't stay on right now, which means I am that girl who won't stop playing with her ring.


AWESOME:
-Almost being done with job recruiting!
-Enrolling for my last semester and taking classes like Art Therapy, Guitar, and Pilates.
-Staying at the W Hotel in Dallas. Staying at the Mayo Hotel in Tulsa. One more hotel stay in Dallas this month. Hotel beds are the BEST. So much better than my twin sized college bed.
-Imagining what I can do with a big kid salary. :)
-Country dancing with the boyfriend and friends all Friday night and some of Saturday night.
-Mom's minivan has GREAT gas mileage.
-I get to eat pizza twice tomorrow.
-Finding great deals on spring break rentals. 
-Finding my honeymoon destination/future retirement home: http://www.adelto.co.uk/luxury-resort-ayada-maldives/    loans will cover that..right? ;)
-Having a PHD student as a teacher for a normally too-difficult-for-what-it-should-be class. We just crack jokes a lot and don't take it too seriously. Perfect!
-Not sleeping for about a month and thus getting lots of delusional hyper moments, in which I am a BLAST to hang out with.
-Having a class ring!!!!!!! and getting a picture taken with our President, David Boren (aka D.Bo) and our rings.
