My name, Hannah, means grace. Why my parents named me
something slightly resembling graceful is unclear to me because I am the
clumsiest and most accident-prone person you will ever meet. I run into things,
trip over nonexistent objects, lose everything and make plenty of messes along
the way. My parents will sarcastically call me “Grace” if I show signs of my ungraceful
abilities.
This morning, I woke up and showered before class. My
favorite part of my morning is my cup of coffee. I turn on my coffee maker
before I take my shower and my coffee is ready for me after. I sat down at my
desk, eager to drink my warm cup of coffee and finish getting ready for my 9
a.m. class.
On my desk, you will find an assortment of items. On this
particular morning, I would like to give you a detailed list of the items you
would find: my laptop, phone, important notes, letters from family members and
my boyfriend, checks for reimbursements or payment to an organization,
important documents detailing my grades from studying broad and various
cosmetics. The reason why I am giving details on these important items will
become evident if you continue to read (which you should because it’s slightly
humorous).
As I said before, I love having my coffee in the morning.
Sometimes, I might get a little too excited while reaching for that warm cup of
coffee and my clumsiness kicks in. Today, I knocked over my cup of coffee,
spilling the entire mug across my desk. If you remember the detailed list of
items found on my desk this morning, then you might understand why this was
such a disaster. Just take a second to picture my uncoordinated response. I
immediately grabbed my laptop before the coffee could reach the most expensive
item and set it out of harms way. Then, I grabbed my iPhone as it began to
collect a puddle of coffee underneath. I tore off the phone case and dried the
coffee off as quickly as I could before it caused any damage.
After assessing the remaining damage, I finally placed the
coffee cup right side up, which might have been a better decision earlier on in
this debacle. My important notes, letters, checks and transcripts were
completely submerged in coffee puddles. The open foundation bottle from my
cosmetics had been knocked over as well during my quick reaction and this
puddle was beginning to submerge the rest of my cosmetics. I removed all of the
important items from my desk to dry on towels covering my floor and began to clean
the mixture of coffee and foundation puddles off of my desk. The clothing I was
planning on wearing was covered in coffee splatter and it was necessary for me
to change.
Surprisingly, I wasn’t late to class after this chaotic
morning. I’m sure you got a kick out of this clumsy occurrence. Just another
day in the life of Grace… I mean Hannah.
