I fell flat on my fucking face this morning. It was kind of a scene from a bad movie.

The entrance to one of the buildings on campus is eleveated, like 5 or 6 feet above ground level. There is a big set of stairs, leading up to this big patio/quad thing, that can also be reached by a large ramp at the back (so vehicles can be driven up.) As I approached the stairs, I noticed that there was a campus atv with a big snow brush on it, removing snow on the patio. This leaves me with 2 choices.
1. Go to a different building
2. dodge the ATV

Using skills learned from years upon years of nintendo logic, I made my move. I waited for the ATV to make a pass, and just as it cleared the stairs, I sprinted.

The plan in my head went like this.
I dash up the stairs,
Across the patios,
and through the doors, just as the AVT turns to come back towards the stair.

In reality things went this way
I dash up the stairs,
Slip on the top step, which is icy in the -4 weather(who knew?)
Do one of those things where I almost catch my balance, but the momentum of my book bag pushes me over(total 80's movie comedy, I know)
Dive face first onto the patio,
And nearly give the poor ATV driver a heart attack, as she slams the brakes on to narrowly avoid running me over.


Remeber how I said I was brilliant?
