I was having a pretty stressful day. With the car accident stuff, the rain, the destruction of my second umbrella in the Vienna winds, etc, I was a little flustered by the time I reached the university at 11am. To add to my wonderful morning, when I was typing my regular facebook messages to my friends at UK, for some reason, my "g" key wouldn't work. I started to get really irritated at this point, because the phrase "great! where are you guys going" just didn't make the same sense without the g's. I am also one of those people who get really nervous when it comes to electronics, because it seems like most everything I touch (non-electronics included) breaks or malfunctions or bursts into flame. Mom has developed a term for people like me -- BULL IN A CHINA SHOP. I think it fits.

So, anyways, I got rather antsy when I realized that my only course of action would be to remove the g key and operate on Lorenzo the Laptop. Breaking my only access to America was NOT something I was prepared to deal with today. But.... in I went. I carefully and ever-so-gently removed the key Grey's Anatomy style and peered down into the keyboard. And there it was...... the source of all of my frustration was sitting underneath the key, preventing it from going all the way down...... a single Grape Nut. I was in a study room on the fifth floor of the university, so it took all that I had in me not to burst out laughing! I was getting so mad, and the whole time it was a piece of my most treasured cereal that was causing all the trouble. (Thanks for sending the Grape Nuts, Pam! haha) This really lightened my mood!
