An Off Morning

Today I had one of the most off mornings I've had in awhile.
It's actually quite funny looking back at it.

I usually like to go up to campus earlier in the morning to buy a four dollar beverage from Starbucks (I know, I buy it more out of habit than actual desire). Then I usually proceed to sit on the couches outside of Starbucks and whip out my itouch while pretending that it's an iphone <---it's entertaining, you should try it sometime.

This morning I'm walking over to Starbucks and I remember my test grade for Biology is online. My usual route to Starbucks had a slight detour to a computer to check out my grade.

Background story.
Biology is the death of me. I've never been good at it. Never. For the love, I'm an english major! I was perfectly content learning all of my science facts from the Magic School Bus. I have no desire to further my scientific knowledge. This hindered my learning capacity while trying to study. Ask Laura Herald. She helped me study but it wasn't an easy task. It took me an hour to grasp the fact that animal cells consist of membraneous organelles.

I get online to check out my grade. Lets just say I could have done better...alot better. With my mood a little dampered and my pouting pretty apparent, I then make my way to Starbucks, order my cup of coffee, take a sip of it and make my way to the couches. I then spill my drink all over me. Great.

After spending a couple of minutes cleaning up, Sheila, the usual cashier in the morning at Starbucks, offers me a new cup. Sweet! Finally, I get to the couches and habitually pull out my itouch. After about 5 mins it was about time for me to head to class. I get up without realizing that my itouch was in my lap and not my hand. MY itouch crashes to the floor and the protective case split away from it as heads turn my way. I bend down to pick up my itouch and coffee spills all over it. Great again. At least it missed me this time.

I finally get out of Starbucks and start walking to class. For the entirety of the next hour I kept smelling burgers. Wierd, I know. I smelled it on campus and all the way into my classroom. I was a little self conscious because I thought it might have been me. Burgers. Of all things, why burgers?

Was it an "off" start to the morning? Yep. But today was honestly one of the coolest days. From sweet coffee shop convos to painting on canvases with Clark for a couple hours, it was a great day. Sometimes we need to just laugh at ourselves a little, and that's exactly what I have been doing all day when I think back to the series of unfortunate events and odd smells that took place this morning.
