For this week, mine actually happened like 10 minutes ago. I have a long break between my last class and my next one, but not quite long enough for me to go home and take a nap (so unfortunate). I usually come to the computer lab, or the c-lab, as it is lovingly called around campus to work on homework (blog).
I was sitting over in the corner on a couch, with two chairs directly across from it and a mini coffee table in the middle of it. I understand that usually, a group of people studying together would occupy a space like that, but there were plenty of other open areas to sit, so I figured I'd take a comfy seat on the couch. Before long, a girl comes up and sits in the chair directly across from me. I don't know her at all, but I smile to be polite, despite the fact that I find it odd for someone I don't know to sit so close to me when there are plenty of other comparable seats available. Before long, her friend joins her. So now there are two girls who I have never seen before in my life, sitting so close to me that other onlookers would think we were all good pals. Then, even though I'm visibly studying, with multiple books open and taking notes, they begin to chatter incessantly about some girl in someone's dorm and blah blah blah.
I know that I said that there are very few things that bother me, but a complete disrespect of personal space and noise level does not fall into that category. I was so annoyed/weirded out, that I just got up and moved over to the next seat, so that at least their conversation wasn't right in front of my face. And what did they do? Immediately, they got up and left. What in the world?! After all of that, they leave the very second that I decide I can't handle the distraction anymore. People!
So I don't know if that actually counts as awkward, but at the very least, we can chalk it up on the list (seems to be getting longer and longer) of things that really bug me.
Otherwise, everything here is going well. I'm settling into classes, getting all my assignments completed, even if it means staying up till terrible hours of the night (I'm a true college student now, let me tell you!), and I went to Liberty football's first home game of the season. They won by a ridiculous amount! :)
