This week's blog homework assigned by @missy & @rambo is to discuss our most embarrassing moments. Looking back... DAMN I have been embarrassed a lot.
Let's start with the most recent: last semester. I went to my university determined to look cute on this particular day, for whatever reason. I wore this adorable floral sundress with my low top converse & felt like a girly dream. I had finished my final class for the day, put on my backpack, & was making the 0.6 mile trek to the parking garage down the road. I kept tugging at my dress in the front, as if to pull it down, but nothing really felt that weird. I was alllllmost to the garage when a girl approached me from behind & informed me that the back of my dress had gotten tucked under my backpack, & my entire ass had been exposed on the busy campus the entire walk. How the fuck I didn't feel a breeze or something, I don't know. I'm so thankful for the girl telling me; I just wish it would have happened a little sooner.
My next embarrassing moment hails from my high school awards night. I was a senior about to graduate with the highest honors available: I was in the Top 10 with a 4.0, as well as being the STAR Student (highest ACT score.) With these honors came responsibilities. I had to sit in the front row during our ceremony, & deliver not one, but two speeches in front of our entire graduating class & their families. I absolutely hate public speaking. I can write a beautifully flowing, scholarly speech, but actually getting my lips & tongue to produce the words my hands so easily out to paper was anything but easy. I was so nervous during both speeches that I literally hardly remember them. Everyone applauded politely & said I did great, but I remember choking on a handful of words, my knees buckling & swaying, & my voice cracking. My face felt bright red, & my palms were cold & clammy. I was just relieved to have made it through them both. Not a fun night, lol.
I could write such a long, exhausting blog on this topic since embarrassment seems to come naturally to me, but I will leave you guys with these two. I cannot wait to see what some of you write about so we can feel a mutual shame haha! Y'all have a great week n stuff xoxo
