One event and then your day is compeltely different
I was walking out of work to get my bike to head to class. I wanted to get there a little early because I wanted to meet up with Kent (since our classes are close to each other). I took a short cut to my bike on some dirt, instead of the sidewalk, and the next thing I knew I was standing up after hitting my face right on the metal bars of the bike rack.
I tripped over a sprinkler and landed on my nose. People saw it happen and came over to try to help me. Of course I busted up into tears! That's just who I am. Every time people are worried about ME, I break down. Anyway, the guy who saw it happen said that I should go to the Health center and that he could walk me there (I'm tearing up now just thinking about it) and then the girl gave me a hug. Sometimes people are so nice.
I told them no, I think I'm okay, but I've never broken my nose before so the first thought was I'm probably going to have a crooked nose in the rest of our family pictures! (haha) That made me sad even more.
So I biked quickly to Kent's class and waited for him. I told him what happened and he was so worried, he wanted me to go to the health center too. I needed to calm down and then I would decide what to do. I went to the bathroom and it wasn't as bad as I imagined. I washed my face with water and went to class. While in class I texted my mom to see where I could go to get my nose checked. She said anywhere and was worried, but I didn't call her until after I got home.
Call Center work was in half an hour and so I tried calling them, but they wouldn't pick up, so I biked over there and told them I think I broke my nose. At first they were like, "You're nose is the easiest bone to break in the body." I was like, "okay, so I want to get it checked out." They said I didn't have to come in and that I could just have a sick day! Hallelujah. First day of not going in when I'm scheduled. It feels amazing! I only have 6 more days of that place (until I'm done)!!
I went home and took these pictures. You can kind of see it in the top and then the bottom picture is of me with an icepack.
Moral of the story: I will be fine and I remember thinking, now my whole day is going to be different just because I tripped. Remember to stay on the sidewalk.
