Have a nice trip, see you next fall -Karen

I was getting on the bus. (It seems many of my awkward moments happen on those wonderful vehicles of public transport...) I missed the last step and tripped, my body propelled forward. I came face to face with the bus driver - our faces were uncomfortably close. I laughed a little and held out my student ID. He smiled and said, "hi." That was awkward. (Also, turning and knowing everyone on the bus just witnessed my blunder didn't ease the awkwardness. I found a seat and tried to hide.)
