My Life is a Big Ole Bowl of AWKWARD.

Ohmygosh. So, I was originally going to jump on the blogging bandwagon and do an "Awkward and Awesome Thursday" post, but, alas... my life is so awkward that if I waited until Thursday to post all the things saved in the "Notes" on my iPhone (what, you don't catalogue awkward moments as they happen to you?), I would have a long, awkward novel.

So... enjoy the awkwardness that is my everyday life. :)
-- Trying over and over again to use a train ticket machine that has an "out of order" sign on it in plain sight, and having multiple Germans (many of them students of mine) walk by giving me weird looks. They were probably all thinking, Wow, she really is a stupid American...

-- Sitting on the train, watching the train next to us pull out, thinking that we're the ones moving, and jumping up to try to get off because I thought we were going in the wrong direction.
-- Falling asleep on said train, and waking up right as the doors were closing and the train was about to leave my stop, jumping up while wiping drool off of my face, and sprinting off.

-- Going to a class to talk to a girl that I'm supposed to be tutoring, only to realize that the girl isn't even in that English class, let alone that grade. Oops.
-- Singing Silent Night in a German cathedral with Hubby. No, that's not the awkward part; however, the audience of random Germans was.
-- Dropping a piece of chalk while writing on the board in an 8th grade class, then making the mistake of bending over to pick it up to the sound of 2 adolescent German boys saying, "oooooh..."

-- Wearing a sweatshirt and jeans to class for like, the 2nd time all school year, and having someone ask, "Do Americans always dress so plain?" Umm, no. I'm just dressed like this because I stayed up until 4 a.m. working on the lesson that I'm giving you right now. But thanks for noticing, kid. Even better - it was a Disneyland sweatshirt. Ach, Mensch!

-- Being the only person in the Blogosphere that did not have a super cool "What I wore/did for Halloween" post. Sorry, guys. Maybe next year when I'm not in a foreign country. I felt kind of left out. Imagine what Thanksgiving is going to be like! I have to work. That's just wrong. Am I right?!


Yeah, I'm sure there are more, but these were the ones that I'd written down, because I'm awesome like that.
