Ok, so this is a Really? Come On! moment in the day of the life of Gina. So, thanksgiving isn’t that big of a holiday in my fam, so a few of us usually just go out to eat at a giant buffet. ok, cool.
So we did that, and I go up to the turkey carving station and stand inline, and when it gets to be my turn, I notice that the turkey is virtually all gone, just little pieces of scraps left on the cutting board. I’m all depressed by this, but just then a waiter came up behind me with a whole new turkey.
Yes. Success. So I say to the carver, “Turkey please!” with a big smile on my face (the other option was ham)…so he goes “sure!”….and proceeds to scrape up the turkey shards leftover from the old turkey and gives it to me. I was too much in shock to express my discontent, so I just walked away with my shards of old turkey. Really? Come on!

Madness at Midnight Madness
My school held a 'midnight madness' event last night which is a school spirit/basketball give-a-way event. Basically, if you're name was called you got to participate in an embarrassing game, but in the end you would win over $100. The whole event lasted about 5 hours, and was held in our school gym.
Well, towards the end of the night after my name STILL hadn't been called, I went upstairs for FIVE minutes to get a chicken finger, and when I went back into the gym everyone was turning to me and saying "YOUR NAME WAS CALLED WHERE WERE YOU!?" ...so someone else was picked to go in my place. I just lost out on potentially alot of money. REALLY? COME ON!!
Really? Come on!
Recently I have started a running joke with my friends at college, stating that I am going to write a book entitled: "Really? Come On!" This is because my life is always full of moments where things seem to be going well, but then fate seems to snap its fingers and snatch said moments away from me. Real "FML" moments, if you will. For example, when I was supposed to get my refund check back from my school at the begining of semester, I was told it would be available the first week of September.
Thus, the first week of September came, and upon going to pick up my check, the Business Administration secretaries kindly let me know with looks of wonder on their faces that my check 'must have been delayed because of labor day'. Fine. 'Come back next week'. Next week approaches, and I enter the BA office, only to hear that 'Julie didn't complete my check yet, and is off until the end of the week'. Great. 'Come back next week'.
Week three approaches (and by this time, I have a large credit card bill due from my school book expenses which I needed my refund check for to pay off my balance--I never get interest) and I head into the BA office. We're old friends now. After inquiring about my check, there is some movement about the office this time. *Everyone is looking in different piles of papers and folders* Then--this gets me every time--one of my old friends goes 'It might have been in that pile of checks that I dropped earlier'.
You must get my point by now..... Yes, I was charged $9.67 interest because I couldn't pay off my whole balance due to not getting my refund check until the fourth week into the semester.
Really? Come on!
