If Only I Had Been Looking...

So this morning, I got to my Spanish class a few minutes early. I was extraordinarily thirsty, so I decided to go ahead and go down to the other end of the hallway to get a drink. After enjoying a long draught of water from the fountain, I started to head back to class. But, my nose was a little runny, so I paused a moment. I had two choices, go back to class where I had tissues waiting for me in my backpack, and blow my nose in front of everyone, or step into the bathroom, conveniently located next to the water fountain, and blow my nose. The choice seemed pretty clear, so I hurried into the bathroom.
As I walked through the door, I saw my friend, Sterling. I thought to myself, "Hey, what is he doing in here?" as I turned my head to the side and noticed several boys...

To my horror and absolute mortification, I realized that this was the boys' bathroom.

I made my exit as quickly as I could. Sterling followed me out. I think I said something dumb, like, "Oh my goodness, I have NEVER done that before..." I think he was trying to offer words of comfort or make light of the matter or something, but I was so absolutely horrified. I told him I would see him later, and walked off--quickly-- to my class.
(I blew my nose there instead.)
I was so ridiculously embarrassed.

Luckily, the whole ordeal lasted only a few moments, but I would have preferred it not to have happened at all.

The rest of the day was quite normal. (Thank heaven!!)

Um, so, Happy Monday, anyone?

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!! You totally just made my day!! You poor thing!! I did that once at Grapevine Mills Mall, but it was late and there wasn't anyone there, and as I was walking out (I still hadn't realized where I was), a man walked in. We looked at each other confused, and both left. I walked off thinking, "poor guy going into the girl's bathroom..." until the next day, when I actually paid attention to the sign....

Well, Kare-bear, you really 'blew' it that time! You are 'running' around making all kinds of impressions on the young men around you. Hopefully your nose wasn't dripping off of your face as well. Sorry, now I am just being "nosey!"
At least you didn't leave carrying a toilet seat...see my blog for more clarification!
Love you!
