I admit it, I am a klutz!

Growing up I was the uncoordinated one of the bunch. I played right field in softball because the mere idea of a ball hurtling my way terrified me. Often I used my face as a mitt.

I have broken my ankle stepping over a curb. I have fallen down my basement stairs, my front steps, and slipped on a banana peel. So as you can see, or read as the case may be, I am a verified klutz.

So this morning really shouldn't have surprised me… much. As I stepped out of my car ,juggling all my crap, I tried to pick my foot up and step onto the sidewalk. Unfortunately, my foot failed to obey my brain. Hence, I went falling forward spewing a bagel, my coat and the entire contents of my purse while I gracelessly fell on my knees trying quite unsuccessfully to stop myself with my right arm.

"F#@$!" I exclaimed. It did hurt. A LOT!!! As I regrouped, looked around I noticed several new students staring at me in shock. As their shock wore off they kindly asked if I was ok?

"Yes. Yes, I am ok."

Shortly after, I introduced myself as the Director of Career Services, the one which will teach them all about professionalism.

Yea... Happy Tuesday.
