The Diary of an Embarrassed Girl

Embarrassment. We've all experienced this at least once in our life.
For me?. It's a regular event.
I don't have a memory card inserted in my brain so I don't remember them all.
I wrote down the ones that were permanently stamped into in my brain.

Entry one
Sometime in December,2008
I'm really excited. I finally get to meet some of my other cousins. Oh they are coming from a totally different country. My little girl brain is officially blown.
I met them and I thought to myself, wow this people are really fancy with their accent and all that. Luckily for me they were good people. There was a girl my age and we really got along. A few days with them, my little girl brain told me, " You are as fancy as them". I shouldn't have believed it.
Holidays were over, the fun was over. My parents came to pick me up. My Dad came with Catfish to give our departing visitors?, I don't quite remember.

Those fishes are really violent. I wonder what they are always so angry about. So one jumps out and starts coming in my direction. I start running around and screaming, " The fish is gonna eat me, the fish is gonna eat me". In my fancy new accent.
The fish didn't eat me. Good for me I guess but I've never lived it down with my parents. Any chance they get it's "The fish is gonna eat me, the fish is gonna eat me "
So yes, embarrassing moment imprinted in my memory forever.
Worst of all, it wasn't even a big fish.

Entry two
Not quite sure of the date but year 20- and something
Another visit to my cousins house. Different ones this time. I had fun again. Played lots of computer games on my older cousin's laptop. Ate alot. I never forget when there's much to eat. Food is the most reliable friend I have. Anyway I guess technology was too much for us. A board game would do our brain more good.

Monopoly was chosen. They were five of us. I didn't understand the game nor did I know how to play but I begged until they let me in.
Time flew by. I wasn't doing anything other than spinning the dice. My oldest cousin did everything for me. Eventually he knocked everyone out. Just me and him left then he turned around and sent me into bankruptcy. He cheated I thought. He had to have cheated.
So I did what any dignified child would do. I started crying. I didn't stop until everyone admitted I won the game.
Come to think of it now. I was dumb and if I could go back I'd knock myself over the head and tell myself to be quiet but I can't.

Third and last entry.
A month in 2018
This one has to do with a boy. I just started 100 level. New people to meet. Friends waiting to be made. People to be crushed on. Lots of things to do, funny how I didn't think books to be read, exams to pass.
The class rep called for a meeting for everyone in my level. That was where I first saw him. Boom my heart was exploding with little hearts. Months went by,I didn't talk to him.
Then on one very hot afternoon we had physics practically. We had to split into groups. I was in a different group but someone had to volunteer to get materials for each of their groups. My invisible eye scanner told me he had volunteered.
"This is your chance" my brain told me". I should really stop taking advice from it. So I volunteered too and I never volunteer for anything.
I went to stand directly behind him. He finally noticed me and was like, "Are you in this department, I haven't seen you before " and I was like, " Yes I am and I haven't seen you before either"
Liar

Long story short. He got the materials for his group and we both left. I went to his table completely forgetting about my own group. I even helped them with their practical.
In the end, my friend came to drag me back to my table and I was told in not so many nice words that I have a really big problem but I knew that already.
Lesson learnt. Keep your school work separate from your crushes. It works wonders.

That's all I remember for now. Luckily I haven't peed my pants or done something worse than that.
The earth takes about 365 days to orbit the sun. So I still got time.
