It's Awkward and Awesome Thursday! (Okay...But It's Actually Saturday Now...)

Sorry I'm posting this on Saturday.  It's been a busy week.  Thursday, especially, was busy since I had my last exam that day, three classes, a project meeting, violin lessons, packing for Ireland, and a trip back home.  So, it was an awesome and awkward week, but I'm telling you about it now...a few days later...deal with it.

Want to know where I learned to be so awkward and awesome?  From this girl right here.  This is my sister.  She embodies both awkwardness and awesomeness and over the years it has rubbed off on me.  Thanks, big sis!




AWKWARD
*The word "awkward."  I think I've misspelled it every time since I started this blog.
*Going into the Fossil store.  First of all, I look at one watch and the salesman is at my side, opening the cabinet, and letting me try it on.  Have you ever heard of window shopping, sir?  Did I ask to try it on?  Then I try it on to be nice and he tells me I'm putting it on wrong.  It's a watch!  The face is right side up.  What else is there to know about putting it on?  I didn't say this, though, so then he just stared at me for a bit.  Then my sister came over and in her awkward and awesome way said, "That is ugly as hell."  I think the salesman wanted to rib our heads off.
*Falling down that damn snowy hill outside of my apartment.  I need to stop wearing shoes with no tread.  Thank the Lord no one else was around (again).
*Not being able to understand my violin teacher's Russian accent.  There are four violin strings: G, D, A, and E.  G, D, and E all sound exactly the same when you have a Russian accent.  This causes a few difficulties and embarrassments for poor Americans.

AWESOME
*I leave for Ireland today! (Okay, I know that didn't happen between the last two Thursdays, but I'm soooo excited!)
*My new sunglasses from Forever 21 which were only $5!  (see above photo)
*Acing all of my exams and papers from the past few weeks!  Hard work totally pays off.
*Rootbeer from St. Francis Brewery.  Mmmm...can't beat the real stuff.
*A Star Called Henry.  Awesome book.  Read it.
*The sun finally coming out.  Well, sort of.  I'm being optimistic.  Hopefully in a few weeks the snow will be gone.
*Did I mention I'm going to Ireland today?  :)
