awkward.

i often find myself in embarrassing situations.  now, i'm not complaining about such events because these moments add a little flare to my life.  but this one...well...it was rather mortifying.

i walked into my 11 o'clock writing class, thinking that it was my day to give my oral presentation on punctuation, which i've been dreading for weeks.  i was a bit on the tardy side, for reasons still unclear to me now, so i ran to class as quick as i could so i would not be late for my presentation.

"it's my day to present!" 

i yelped, huffing and puffing from sprinting to my class on the 6th floor.  as it turned out, i didn't have the presentation that day but the next week.  i walked to an available desk, still gasping for air (i'm a little out of shape, i guess).  seconds later i felt a light tap on my shoulder.  i turned to my left to find a girl in a purple jacket, handing me a folded piece of lined paper.  i opened up the small note, hoping it was in fact for me and not a love letter to my male neighbor, and read these words written in blue ink:

um, your zipper is down on your pants

...just thought i'd let you know

in the least awkward way possible :)

cuz that would suck to go the whole day

with it down. :)

good to know i have someone to look out for my well-being.  god bless this girl in a purple jacket.

but i don't feel too bad since the girl who gave the spelling presentation today forgot to zip up before class too.
