awkward and awesome thursday

hey friends, it's thursday!  this means, according to sydney over at the daybook, that we all get to compile our list of awkard and awesomes for the week.  so here we go!

awkward

- when the shuttle you're taking home stops in front of your apartment complex, and you're so tired you don't notice.  so the shuttle driver has to remind you that you are, in fact, at your stop.
- when you are waiting in line to get on the shuttle, and a guy falls into a complete sitting position as he's getting off.  and you turn around and notice everyone in line has their face turned away so the poor man doesn't see us all silently laughing at him.
- when you see someone you know on campus, so you talk to each other as you're walking toward each other.  so then, instead of stopping to talk for a moment, you both continue walking in opposite directions as you have your conversation.  so you both end up walking backwards away from each other, yelling the last few sentences.  why do we do this?
- when you totally slip on the ice.  even if you don't fall, you feel like an idiot because your foot just slid across the ground, your arms are waving wildly as you try to balance yourself, and you inevitably let out some sort of squeal.  then as you try to quietly slink away, you have to move painfully slowly so you don't have another ice mishap.
- when you realize you are learning to play the recorder in your class.  that's all you are going to do in that class.  in a college class.  the recorder.  really?

awesome

- when you're sitting in class, realizing you absolutely made the right decision to change your major.
- when you listen to a professor speak and you feel excited about the lesson.  i love that feeling when the whole class is just completely on the same page, and you're all just enthralled with the subject.
- when your amazing sister and brother come visit you at school just because they miss you.  and they bring you the most delicious, best decorated sugar cookies in the world.
- when you meet a lot of new people and have fun with them right away.
- when the clothes you chose to wear that day actually protect you from the cold.  it's so awesome to not be shivering constantly when you're outside.

I hope you guys liked this awkward and awesome list!  head over to the daybook to check out more lists and to read the awesome posts by sydney.
