Epic Fail of the Week

About a week ago I lost my college I.D. And by "lost" I mean, it literally just dropped off the face of the planet. Well, I turned my perpetually-messy dorm room upside down looking for it (and then proceeded to clean it afterwards out of sheer frustration) then proceeded to do the same to my car. Alas, to no avail-- my I.D. was still lost. Ever the optimist, I thought to myself, "Well maybe I left it back at home this weekend," and decided that if I could not find it there that I would just buy a new one. Unfortunately, the drill went the same at home: bedroom-- no I.D., Jessica's house-- no I.D., Mom's car-- no I.D. Forlornly, I went back to school and decided to buy a new I.D.

As Monday rolled around, I went to the Student Services building and purchased my shiny new I.D. Finally, I could once again eat in the cafeteria and go to study hall! So exciting! The next day, Tuesday, I was getting ready to go the cafeteria for supper and decided I needed a jacket for the cafeteria. I reached for a light jacket which I had not worn in about two weeks and pulled it on. Reaching to zip it up, I felt my hand rake across something flat and plastic clipped to the bottom seam....

My old I.D.

A loud string of expletives that I'm sure could be heard ringing throughout the dorms exploded out of my mouth. My suite-mates, who were standing in our hallway, burst out in laughter and asked me what was wrong. In reply, I simply held up my old I.D. This prompted even more raucous laughter from them.

Cursing softly to myself, I continued my journey to the cafeteria where I got my food, scanned my old I.D., and sat down to the single most worst meal of my life.

So that's my epic fail of the week. Lovely.
