Do not listen to Dora...

Today was a much better day than yesterday. Can we Just say that??? No breakdowns, No bruises (or that I am aware of) I woke up on time... or close to it and I took a quiz in Spanish that surprisingly, I didn't bomb. Today was looking up aside from one small phrase:

Muy Caliente

Now for people who have watched Dora, took any kind of high school Spanish class where the coolest thing to do was profess your love interest in Spanish... Muy Caliente= Hot. Am I right? Did Dora lead us astray??? were we poor innocent High School students decieved? In my college professor's eyes, the answer to my question is yes. Today in class, as we described people to learn superlatives in Spanish, I (always the victim) decides to describe one man as muy caliente. obviously, I mean hot.I mean come on, I am just trying to lighten the mood from: one has black hair, one has blonde, one is fat, one is skinny. Who wants to read that???? I mean honestly, he should have thanked me for being so creative and using my words so wisely. No..... my professor definitely didn't do that either...

Sam:Mac is Muy Caliente y mas guapo que P.C.

I stood proudly, presented my sentence, and smugly waited for them all to applaud me for coming up with such an amazing sentence.

Professor: .......

Sam: :D

Professor: Can you please translate that for us Sam?

Sam: Mac is hotter or more handsome than P.C., Pretty clever huh?

Oh yeas, I said this, huge grin and all....

Professor: that is definitely not what you just said... Sam you said Mac is more umm....*cough**cough* hotter FOR you...

Sam:that is what I said, for than... no big deal.

once again, my blonde streaks began to show.

Professor: No Sam, his tone now more irritated/slightly embarrassed.. I mean, *eye direction pointing downward...hes Happy... like... Hot..as in..

Dead silence

****Lightbulb now goes off in my head***

Sam: ooooohhhhh....well that isnt what Dora taught us?

Obviously that probably wasn't the best thing to say at this point... because now we are both blushing profusely and I kinda can't make eye contact with anyone.

Best part about this conversation though... I definitely didn't get called on the rest of the day and when I walked out of class I am pretty sure he finally let himself breathe again. the things that come out of my mouth bahahahhaha

Oh the day.

So today marked a very eventful/dramatic/overly tearful day of a college student.

1. started with the waking up late (of course) combatted with throwing my outrageously tangly hair into a "somewhat" messy bun, yanking up my pants and while trying to brush my teeth and put some ounce of makeup on. This resulted with me, as I was yanking, running into the wall, trying hard not to scream mild obscenities because as a christian we don't use full on obscenities just casual mild ones such as dangit! shute shute shute!!! fuuuudddddgggeeeee-sickle all the while trying not to wake up my sleeping beauty roommates.

2. As I water the flowers near us by spitting my toothpaste out of my mouth while running to my car, I realize I had forgotten the biggest asset to my life.. my phone. Mistake 1 was not going back to get it but somehow in my mind I decided it would totally be fine, I mean 20 years ago people didnt have phones right? I could be independent, resourceful, who needs a phone?...

I Do.

3. 2 words: Coolant light on...

4. that was three words

5. No big deal... get it fixed after class-get back-hit the books-go to the conference tonight...

yea that didnt happen

6. 226 dollars and 4 hours later, Minor setbacks and yet I still felt like I could handle this.I put on my brave big girl panties, handed over my credit card, smiled bravely, and regretted my decision to not bring my phone once again.

DENIED

Um, sir that can't be possible..

DENIED

...

DENIED

facade evaporated, no phone, I tearfully ask to call my mom from Midas, accepting defeat.

andnowthecreditcarddoesntworkandIamreallyscared

Yep, totally lost my Independence on that one. As the tears threatened to fall, she reassured me, told me what to do and slowly I began to gain my composure. 1 hour later, a now fixed car, I headed back to my apartment.

7. E

For anyone with a Car, with any Car knowledge, or have ever ridden in a car, know this is not good. For anyone that has lived with the pygmy's or transported from the 1700s E is Empty.. Empty is no Gas.. No gas is money that obviously I don't have.

by the time I got home, I had all of ten minutes to change and run to the meeting.

I cried and wailed for 9 minutes of it.

ask my roommates, pathetic. they will definitely tell you.
