So this past Wednesday was...rough to say the least. So in the spirit of venting, I'll start at the night before, when this whole fiasco started.
Tuesday night, I'm sleeping in my room at 11, and I get woken up by something tickling my face. So I wake up, and in the dim light coming in through my window, I realized that it's a 3-inch long centipede. On my face. So I smacked it off as quick as I could, and turned the light on to look for where the thing had landed. Needless to say, it was out of sight by then. The entire rest of the night, all 7 hours before I needed to wake up, I couldn't sleep.
So I'm getting ready to head to school after getting a grand total of 2 hours of sleep, and I grab the new sandals I'd bought to wear at the school (because they don't normally make shoes in size 12, so I had to buy it handmade...not cheap). School is a little rough, because, like I said, I got 2 hours of sleep before tackling an 8-hour day. I get done teaching, and the vice principal sends me home an hour early, around 3:25. So I go down to the bus stop to catch the 3:35 bus to the train station to head home. I'm waiting out there for an hour before I realized "Well, I guess there is no 3:35 bus. Oh, here comes the 4:35 bus." The bus takes me to the train station, and I ride the train to the stop near my house.
I get off at my stop, and I walk about 500 meters to the local convenience store to pick up a drink before taking the bus to my house, and as soon as I get to the store, I realize I'd forgotten the plastic bag with my new sandals on the train. So I drop what I was doing, run out of the store, and run all the way back to the train station to try and catch it before it leaves. I get there before the train takes off, but as I'm searching through each of the cars to try and find the bag with my sandals in them, the train leaves to go to the next station. So I'm not only without my sandals, but now I'm stuck leaving to the next station, and I'm already late for getting home. Luckily, my cousin was driving by the next station on the way home when I called her, so she came and picked me up. I guess there was someone else who needed size 12 sandals for their feet more than I did...
And Man U lost the Champions League finals. Juuust great.
Okay, done ranting.

why didn't you leave the sandals at school..?
next time, leave the in your locker upstairs, & wear a school pair just to change...
Thanks for your condolences, Dana. I'm just telling myself now that there was someone else out there that needed size 12 sandals more than I did.
Sarah, you know that I teach at TWO schools, and that I need sandals for both. And since I only had one pair, that meant I would have to bring them to both schools everyday, and take them home after school. Wish I could have left them at the school, but you see the predicament I was in.
