I just remembered this story that I thought you all would find funny, a typical smooth moment of mine.
I was on my way to class on Friday and was very lost, campus is so big that it takes forever to get anywhere. I knew I was already late and was hurrying, and finally found a building that said CD Annexe on it. "Yes! Finally!" I walked in and looked all over and couldn't find classroom 0.27. A map on the wall said it was through a different entrance. So I walked all around the building, trying to find another door, all of which were locked. Next door was the Islamic center. "Maybe they hold seminars in there..." I thought. It was really my last hope. I guess I was too stressed out to notice the sign that said "Sisters' entrance" because I walked around the corner to the "Brothers' entrance" where about 9 bearded Islamic men were standing. They looked at me like I was a ghost. "Oh no," I thought, "this is definitely not right. And I've probably just disrespected them by walking into the brothers' entrance. oh no oh no." There was no playing it cool, I definitely couldn't pass this off as "Oh, just looking for my friend." or something like that. "So sorry!" I stammered and turned and ran away. Boy was my face red!
I did find the right classroom eventually, and someone else was later than me so it wasn't too bad.
