I am the Queen of Awkward. No, really. It is true. And I often tend to find myself in awkward situations, that I create. For example: at Said Law School, a club that I am a part of was having a luncheon for the faculty in order to promote our upcoming fundraiser event. I was sitting at a table talking with a few law friends, and a staff member of Said Law School that we know and have worked with before. Trying to be funny I gave her a "thumbs up-point the finger move like so:
Unfortunately, my Contracts professor from last year was standing behind this staff member and thought I was gesturing towards him. He raised his eyebrows in surprised acknowledgment, and slowly made his way to sit next to me. What followed was ten minutes of awkward conversation as I scrambled to present myself as a polished, refined, intelligent law student, and not the kind of student who greets their professors like a frat boy.
