You know, I'm not a graceful person.
This is kind of a given in my life, but I think I should note that my condition is exacerbated if it is before 11 A.M. My body just doesn't want to stay vertical.
It's a problem.
Especially on buses. Buses that are so full, I am standing.
So there I was this morning, exhausted, NOT excited to go to my discussion, and ready to catch my bus. I board this herculean form of transportation.
The situation:
I am standing facing the left side of the bus, very close to the driver, and holding on to the rail above me with just my right hand. For any other person, that would probably be a stable enough position to ride the bus without shame. Not for me, though.
The bus brakes suddenly.
I'm still holding on with my right hand, but my entire body swings to my left. I throw out my left hand to try and grab something, but instead I just hit the bus driver on the shoulder. I stayed in this position, right hand on rail, body sprawled against the side of the bus, left hand groping the driver, for far longer than I should have.
Everyone in the front half of the bus just stared.
I didn't say anything.
Except, of course, when I exited the bus.
Instead of thanking the bus driver like I usually do, I departed with, "Sorry I groped you! Normally I don't move this fast."
What can I say? It was early.
Add some sass to your class,
Jenna
