Losa-Face.

I’m like, the biggest loser ever.

And take that as you will, but I mean in the sense of losing things, my student ID in particular. It’s like my job to lose that stupid card.

No, I don’t lose my driver’s license or my debit card, which you know that’s good, but I need my student ID to do basically anything on campus, including eat.  I’m especially good at losing it precisely at the moment it’s most needed (i.e. dinner time, lunch time etc.) I usually shout that a crisis is occurring, and proceed to rip through everything in my room looking for the tiny piece of plastic.

Well, recently, aka Sunday night I discovered that yet again my card was missing, and this time I had no recollection of using or seeing it since Friday.

P-TO THE-ROBLEM.

So after nearly a half hour of looking through our whole room, then re-looking, I turned to Amy and said…I’m gonna have to buy a new one.

And you know why that’s terrible? Because I know when I do buy one I’ll find the old one immediately, that’s just how my life works! So, waking up on Monday morning, knowing I’d resigned to paying the fifteen dollars for a new ID, I felt my day was going to be completely horrid.

But luckily it was a cold gloomy day (hey, I like those type of days, somebody needs to!) and I started it with a long shower listening to Gavin Degraw, and other rainy-day type artists.

And when I finally walked over to the administration building to get my new card…

They asked me a question…

A WONDERFUL question.

Would you like to take a new photo?

HECK TO THE YES I WOULD.

Now, one thing you should know, is my old photo was taken when I was not prepared, I had longer hair, up in a bun and looked similar to…well to a very unflattering photo, glare on my glasses, everything bad that could be, was in that photo! It didn’t even LOOK like me for pity sake!

Anyway, so I sat myself down in the chair and she aimed and shot, and guys, guess. What.

I took the first decent photo in my life, in measure of ID cards anyway! I have a perpetual hateful relationship with my ID’s, because I HAVE SQUINTY EYES. It’s not my fault! I was born with them! But when I’m told to smile, and do, well it looks like they’re closed! And so usually I can estimate a total of 3-4 retakes being necessary—really it just depends on the endurance of the photographer…but none of that was necessary today.

Because, today was MY day!
