It is a truth universally known...

...that I'm a klutz. Seriously, walking in a straight line is a real challenge for me. But my klutziest moments always, always happen on the bus. Something about the whole big, moving metal thing... not good for me. I've dropped my (10 pound) backpack on people's feet, gotten stuck in that little area between two seats (where your legs are supposed to go, but I've managed to fall down there... several times), and cause a few injuries when I try to open the window (it's not easy!)

But my klutziest bus attack? Yeah, that would be the one a few months ago. So I get on a bus, and just as I'm about to sit down, the bus starts to move. Which, really, wouldn't be a problem for anyone but me... Anyhow I go flying back, and land on some upperclassman. I kinda sat there, dazed and listening to the other people on the bus laughing, for a few seconds before I realized that I was ON someone. So I scramble off and into my seat, mumbling apologies. Definitely awkward...

The moral of the story? Don't take the bus.
