Oh Tim...you are a bad boy

I know this is not related to my university experience but it was so romantic.

I went to the park beside the campus waiting for our next class with Tim. When we finally made it there on crutches, I took both crutches in my hand and with his help sat on the ground with my cast straight ahead of me.

Here we were almost alone, side by side. It felt good…wonderful.

Tim was still holding on to my crutches and I glanced at him and saw that he was looking…at my cast…and toes at the end of my cast.

I moved my broken ankle over my good leg to see how he would react.

I felt his arm around my shoulders.

I felt his hot breath “You look sexy with a cast on”

“Please don’t tell me you are attracted to me just because of my ca…”

I felt his mouth…on mine…!

We were kissing

I was confused but I didn’t pull away from him. I felt his hand over my leg slide down over my cast.

Go Team

The office I work for part time play in a softball league once a week. They use that for teambuilding. The general manager really believe in team building even if 99% of the work that seem to be done is done by people working alone in the office or cubicle.

Maybe I should start at the beginning. Back home I was a decent softball player. I can hit the ball solid and field pretty good. We went out the whole office some weeks ago before my accident and after a couple of drinks and shooting pool and my boss asked me if I wanted to join the team.

I really didn’t care to play ball. Between work and school and I was hopping to play some basket-ball at the school I felt that it was enough.

“Yes I would love to play” Was what came out of my mouth… I told you I was a shy person but after 2 drinks you can make me say anything.

When I came to work with a broken ankle, cast and crutches I told them how sorry I was that I couldn’t play with them. They understood and felt sorry for me, they are a good bunch; but asked if I wanted to come and watch them play and be part of the teambuilding process…

So tonight I will be singing go team go standing on my crutches…

What a team player I am…

Hummm

It’s Thursday morning

I have so much on my mind. I have a date on Saturday, busy day school wise, planning a special Halloween and my leg is so sore the last 2 days. I would imagine that it is normal for a broken ankle to be sore.

What I’m wearing today? Eh I’m a woman…what can I say.

I’m wearing my dark jean mini skirt with white blouse nothing special. I’m the type of woman that doesn’t need much time to be ready. If I’m going out I will put some mascara, eyeliner and lip gloss but not at school.

When I looked at myself in the full size mirror this morning, I now saw a woman still in a leg cast and using crutches but that is more confident and content.

I’m adjusting fairly well to my new life.

I was very careful down the stairs on my crutches.

Have a great day

Emails

Hello

Have you ever received the perfect email?

The one that makes you feel so good?

The one that makes you forget about your broken ankle or your crutches?

Well I just did.

Amazing

Study time

I am going to spend the day on campus today to catch up. I have to be honest and admit that this pace that we are on is a little bit faster pace that I’m used to. I want to use the day to study since I have a fairly low course load today.

I have to stay positive and to not let stress and pressure take over. I’m sure that most people that read my blog know what I’m talking about either because they are first year student right now and were once in the past.

My leg and ankle is really sore today and I’m not sure why. It will be good to keep my cast up and give a break to the crutches while spending a lot of time at the library.

It seems like a never ending process right now. By the time I think I’m catching up…bang…I fall behind. Enough of these negative vibes.

I have a diner date Saturday night at my place.

Life is good

Breakfast with the working group

Good morning.

That’s one of the part of university life that I love right now. Working group of people sharing a common goal in a certain class. Here we are this morning sharing, laughing and hopefully helping each other.

I’m sitting here with my cast on a chair listening and participating in this. Kate who’s from Kansa is playing with my crutches. I think that crutches are like a magnet that attracts people.

I bet you she’s the kind of person that when she was a young girl that wished for a cast to get the attention. I can’t believe how distracting to others it can be. I’ve learned to live with the pain so it’s no big deal to me anymore.

Bye for now

Nice lunch

I had a great lunch in the food court with Tim today. We took a table away from everybody. He helped me sit and took my crutches. He surprised me by taking my injured ankle and put the cast on a chair beside me and that without asking.

I couldn't really say anything since it was done so fast and after all he did it for me, to make me more comfortable. It would have been really rude….I think…To say anything.He's actually very nice. I told you about the accent but he also has nice brown hair. It looked really soft to the touch.

I’m a touchy person. I like physical contact.

We talked about everything and nothing and to be honest it didn’t matter what we were talking about. I don't think I said very much.

A very pleasant lunch for me and I think for him also.The tables in the food court are very small and everybody is really close to each other. Close to the end of a lovely lunch he put his hand on knee. Actually it was at the edge of my knee and my cast.

I reacted without really wanting too.

He apologised, of course, the perfect gentleman that he is.

I have to run…don’t I wish…To my job.

Bye for nowAmanda

So strange

Is this a coincidence? I’m staring at this guy who just walked by me on crutches with a big long cast covering his right leg completely and he smiled at me.

By itself there is nothing strange about this since I’m also in a cast using crutches but I received an email this morning from a guy and he told me that he was also a student and that he was in a cast.

After sending me a semi rude email yesterday, he emailed me back this morning.

Coincidence?

Bye for now

Who’s kidding who

After a nice coffee yesterday, I’m meeting Tim for lunch today. My mind was focused on greater things but I want to see where this can go.

What do I have to loose my new friend told me last night and she’s right.

I can’t play sports with my broken ankle, all my friends are back home, my new friend is on the west coast so why not a boyfriend. He could carry my books while I’m on crutches… Just kidding Tim.

He has this great accent…

So here I am sitting outside with my cast resting on the bench waiting for my next class. It was an early start + the fall in the bathroom so I deserve a break. Maybe that’s not the best word to use in my situation.

Bye for now
Amanda

Bad start

I came in early this morning to meet with other students on a project that we are all working together.

A new friend of mine told me to be careful in bathrooms. With the virus h1n1 scare around the world, our school put extra emphasis on keeping the washroom super clean and that’s a real good ting.

I was alone, the floor was wet and I was doubly careful but all of a sudden my left crutch slid on the wet floor and I went crashing down.

I was lucky and I did bang my broken ankle too bad. Another student heard me fall and she came in to check.

I was sitting on the floor leaning against the wall. My cast stretched out in front of me.

“Are you ok?” She asked me.

“I am but if you don’t mind helping me up” With her help I got to my feet and put my crutches under my arms and left the bathroom after thanking her for her help.

These wet floors are really dangerous.

Student book fair

First I have to say that I have an opinion about everything. I’m shy in nature to meet people but when it comes time to express myself I love to do it. I’m a good listener also.

Because the student book fair was open to the public this year, the university decided that it could not be done on campus without have to pay some fees for the fair.

We are talking about poor student in most cases trying to break even. I know that lots of people are saying that the recession is behind us but the reality is that for a lot of students it is hard to find a part time job while studying full time.

They should encourage student.

If 50 or 100 peoples that are not associated with the school came to the fair and bough some books…That wouldn’t have been the end of the world. Just more money in the student’s pocket.

Why charging a fee? I feel that we pay lots of money to go to that university already.

Oh well, I guess there is always next year!

My opinion

Tim

He was in class He’s name is Tim. It’s been a long time since a man makes me feel like he does. I don't know anything about him except that he is in my class and helped me with my sandal last week.

We got to the building at the same time this morning. We were both waiting for the elevator, him looking really cute in his tight jeans and shirt and may standing on my crutches wearing shorts and a t-shirt.

We smiled at each other. I wondered if he even remembered me from last week.

He then turned around and looked me in the eyes, and said,

“How’s the broken leg?”

“Much better thanks”

Why was I blushing? The thing is, I don't know why. He sat beside me in class after he asked if I needed help with the crutches and told him no.

He’s probably just a friendly person but I love the special attention and feeling.
What if he read’s my blog?

University update

Here’s a little update of my University experience so far…

I’m amaze how fast everything is going. Between school and work, the beginning of my first year of university is going so fast. The first few days of school I was almost overwhelmed by the size of the campus and the expectations. Off course breaking my ankle didn’t help on that front.

Today I still feel like a small pea compare to my previous school where I knew almost everybody, but I definitely don’t feel lost.

I’ve had the opportunity to meet many wonderful people who helped me with my university experience and also my injury.

This week should be a great one. I’m getting more and more comfortable on my crutches and I feel super motivated to do my work!

I miss my small school, my friends, some of my teachers and other people from my previous life but I look forward to everything.

Bye for now
Amanda

It’s Monday back to school

Good morning

After a fairly quiet weekend it’s Monday.

I spent the afternoon Sunday hopping around and on crutches trying to clean up a bit my apartment. Not easy with a broken ankle but I needed to do it. I also needed to be active.

Just wearing shorts and a t-shirt today. Hopefully my new friend will be in class this morning. He’s the one that helped me with my sandal last week.

How was your weekend?

Bye for now

Dry Skin

It’s so nice to wake up Sunday morning and have nothing to do except study. No shopping, no working…nothing.

Yesterday was a wonderful day. I have a new online friend and we have so much in common. I have to admit that when I started my blog about my university experience I never, never expected all this.

Life is full of new experiences if you are open minded.

But right now I have to take care of my body. My skin is so dry lately.

I grabbed my crutches and went back to my bedroom where I have my laptop on my bed and a bottle of lotion. I love the small on the feel of the lotion on my fingers.

I start with right foot that’s been working so hard since my accident. I then go up my leg to my thigh, then over my belly. I go down my left thigh, and stopping at the edge of my cast right under my knee.

I rub all around the upper edge of my cast all around my leg. I put more lotion and lotion start rubbing my toes at the end of the cast with it. I rubbed the lotion into my dry toes imagining that it is…It feels so nice bit it’s like a slow torture…


I’m sure you can tell from my blog that I am open minded and my imagination can run at full speed when I’m not concentrating on school only.

I can imagine, I can see you stare and I can hear you say….


Bye for now
Amanda

Shoping

Nothing like a little shopping

I like to go shopping when there's no purpose but this time I need shoes or actually a shoe for work for now. Most of the working shoes I have are high heels and that’s out of the question right now.

First I have to say that I’m on a tight budget. I don't buy new clothes or shoes each season. But I also have to admit that I love high heels pumps.

I walk into the shoe store on my crutches knowing that I will find something practical, comfortable and hopefully sexy.

I shouldn’t say that but I am a woman. It will be fun to have new shoes. I know that not all woman feel like that about shoe but I do.

The first thing I see is a pair of 6 1/2 inch pump…Yes 6 1/2 inch…How can woman walk with these and I’m the one in the cast with the broken ankle? You must feel like a ballerina.

That’s crazy.

Then I see a very sexy 3 inch stiletto heels with instep straps…wow…very sexy and totally NOT what I need but they feel so nice under my fingers.

I go around the store a second time and for the first time in my life I realize that none of these shoes are made for the actual shape of a woman’s foot. Sure we look nice wearing a nice dress and these 4 inch heels but are designer shoes made for me?

Yes if I want pain in the foot, sore ankle and toes that are so cramped.

I go around a third and voila…I spot a pair of sandals with no heel with lots of support.
I ask the salesman if they have any in my size. He gives me a look like why are you looking for classy shoe miss while you have a broken leg.

I feel like leaving the store but since I promised myself that I would only do one store…I stay and smile.

He smiles and asked joking

“Left or right?” OMG what a woman in a cast with crutches needs to hear…

I stand up with his helps and position my crutches before taking a few steps. The feel and look fine.

I pay throw the box in my backpack and leave the store.

Bye for now
Amanda

Finally it's friday night

I look down at my notebook and felt like I was going to sleep. Enough for tonight.

"I'm so tired" Lying on myback. My shouders are so tired from all the crutching around the campus and at work this week. I know it loooks simple to use crutches but its not.

Sitting on my bed I began to strip the clothes off. I toook off my tank top and then I worked on my jeans. Undoing the velcro and then slowly sliding them down my legs and over my cast.

I took off my bra and panties, leaving me naked, wearing only my cast and hopped around my appartment to my bathroom.

I turned on the shower and put my plastic cover over my cast. The shower was steamy like some of my dreams lately. I jump in the shower, the water felt nice all over my body. In no time i got tired of standing on my right leg and realize that I should have a chair in the shower to sit on.

I put some scented shampoo in my hair. Running my fingers through my hair, I began to thin about some of the emails I received the last 2 weeks.

For my own good, I decided to concentrate on what I was doing before falling and breaking someting else.

Bye for now
Amanda

Jeans

Good morning

Here are a few tidbits to know me better. I’m not a natural student; I really need to study hard to have good grades. I’m 5 10, my favourite season is spring. I alternate between keeping my hair short and long. When it’s long I like ponytail.

I love to dress up, high heels and my favourite colour is purple. 80% of the time I’m usually wearing jeans with sandals.

Today I decided to wear jeans at school with a black tank top. I took an old pair and sliced the side open to allow space for my cast. I’m using a piece of Velcro to keep the pant leg around my cast.

Kinda looks weird but feels great. I feel that my old jeans accentuate my long legs.

I walked around the campus earlier today and notice man and woman staring at me. I realise that they are trying to see why I’m crutches and when they spot the foot portion of my cast showing at the bottom of my jeans.

I don’t usually do anything to acknowledge them starting at me but today I feel so happy that I decide to play the game.

I decide to twirl on my crutches and show her my tight ass inside my jeans on top of my broken ankle that seem to intrigue her.

She smiles

I laugh and smile and move on my crutches.

Bye for now
Amanda

Coffee

I just read that researchers at the University of Bristol are reporting that coffee does NOT boost you in the morning. Actually, coffee in the morning helps ease caffeine withdrawl symptoms. Withdrawl? Coffee is a drug?

Drug or not I love to sit by the window, my cast on a pillow and slowly sip my coffee. I have no early class today.

If coffee is a drug...what is your favorute drug in the morning?

Bye for now
Amanda

It's friday....yes

Like most of you, I love friday's. I'm a very upbeat person most time but friday even more.

I have to admit that I'm tired this morning. After a late evening it feels like I just went to bed. I'm sitting on my bed with my cast on a pillow while I write this blog.

I hope I'm not boring you with this blog. I'm very shy in day to day life and I come from a small village where everybody knows everybody. My dream would be to know everybody that reads the blog.

I would like to know what you find interesting and what you don't.

I would like to know where you are from.

Somebody asked me what I hate about being stuck in a cast and what I like.

The best part is that I have very interesting people comming to me or emailing me asking questions and giving wonderful advise. I love it. I'm a person, person and I think I'm fairly open minded.

The worst part of breaking my leg is not being able to go to the gym and play basket-ball. Can't take long walk in the wood. With the screws and everything I’m not sure yet what I will be able to do after all this is over. That's a bit scary but I can't do anything about it right now.

You know what I do when I feel like I do right now...I go shopping. I need some working shoes that will work while I'm on crutches. Most of my working shoes are high heels.

My coffee is ready. I love the smell of freshly brewed coffee.


Have a wonderful day

Bye for now
Amanda

Our second date

My hair and make up was done. I don’t like heavy make up, very natural, a little blush, mascara, and some eye shadow.

“You look great Amanda” I complimented myself while looking in the mirror but my crutches were killing the look. I put the crutches against the wall and hop to my bed to put on a nice dress. With the sandal on my right foot I was done and ready.

There was a knock, I grabbed my crutches and went to the door, there was my date looking very cute.

“You look great Amanda” he said…Men …all woman like to start a date with You look great, specially the injured one.

He helped me into his car and put my crutches in the back seat. I debated about putting something over my cast to cover my toes but decided against it. I noticed some men and women staring at my toes on campus…

The perfect gentleman he helped me out of the car while I put my crutches under my arms. Keeping my knee bent with the cast off the ground we slowly made our way inside the restaurant.

“This way please” he led us to out table and took my crutches away.

“Do you want your broken ankle on a chair” he asked me

It would have been better but since I was wearing dress and I decided to keep my leg down

It was a wonderful evening. At the same time it was obvious that we are at 2 different places in our life. He’s finishing a master degree. I’m starting my BA and we come from very different background. Our interests are quite different on more level that I want to discuss here right now.

He kissed me and thanked me for a nice evening but we both knew that there isn’t going to be a third date.

Que sera sera

On the bus

I was getting on the bus today to go to my part time job and before I could sit the bus started to move and I lost my balance. My body shifted awkwardly and my broken ankle slammed against the metal part of the seat.

Cast or no cast my body tensed. I shifted to regain my balance but I could feel pain from my broken ankle, my face was twisted, wincing and trying to resist the pain.

“Sorry” I heard driver yell. Yeah right.

I sat and tried to keep my cast higher up to release the pain. I sat there with my eyes partly closed and I realised that the next few months were going to be long at time.

Bye for now
Amanda

My sandal

This is so funny. You know that I’m really shy in real life. Here I was sitting in class. You have to picture this…the class is like an auditorium…multiple level.

I love to be bare foot so I took off the sandal that I was wearing on my right foot during the class.

While moving around to get comfortable, I accidently pushed my sandal down a few step with my cast. I was stretching with my right leg trying to get to my sandal without having to get up and disrupt the class, when the guy in front of me noticed my sandal by his feet.

He took my sandal and turned around and put it back on my foot. Just like Cinderella…

He leaned towards me and said “Cute cast” I felt like saying what’s cute about it but I was so red that I didn’t say anything. Some people were looking in my direction and so was the teacher.

At the end of the class he turned around and helped me up while I took my crutches.

“Thanks” I said

“Care for coffee?” He asked me out of nowhere. We have never talked before.

“I can’t, I need to go home and get change before going to work but thanks for the invitation”

“OK see you around” He said and I left. Feeling him stare at me from behind or maybe wishing he was…I’m not sure but it was fun.

I love university life

I have to go catch the bus…

Later

Bye for now
Amanda

Ps the pop quiz was easy this morning…I worried for nothing…better safe than sorry

Shower

Yes it’s Thursday… I just finish taking a nice shower. It’s easier with the plastic bag over my cast. I quickly washed my hair standing on one leg but it felt fantastic. Sitting on my bed I decided today to wear baggy sweatpants and a t-shirt. Easier with the cast.

I want to be comfortable today, especially with my little test this morning. I feel relax about the exam but I’m nervous about my date….Weird

I’m ready for the day.

I wish you all a great day.

Bye for now
Amanda

Last night dream...I need a life...

Maybe tonight is the night that he will make me drop my crutches and pull me closer to him and then he will undo my bra and cup my breast while I moan….yes right that’s Harlequin fiction not something that happen in real life at least not to me.

A woman can dream...

Enough I need to start getting ready

Bye for now
Amanda

What to wear ladies

Good morning

I have a date tonight. Second date. What should I wear? It’s hard to look sexy when you have a broken leg in a cast and using crutches. I don’t go out much during the week between my classes and working.

I find it hard to decide on what to wear tonight. We are going out in a lovely restaurant. What did you wear mostly when you broke your leg?

Bye for now
Amanda

ps. DAM STAIRS...

Surprise, surprise

Back home we call these spot quiz. Not much warning with only one night to prepare. I was almost having a slight panic attack by the time he let us loose and I grabbed my crutches.

Where was the warning? Should I quit my part time job? The answer is I can’t afford to quit, I need to do both.

I went home, breathed, ate something and started to study for tomorrow morning. This is so much not my style, if I can help it; I never leave any school work or studying to the last minute.

By barricading myself in my room with my cast on pillows, and telling myself that I could do it I manage to calm down just in time.

The moral of all this is to stay calm.

I will be ready for his quiz

By for now
Amanda

PS. This teacher loves to look good, beautiful suits. He’s so cute…sorry

PS2. I forgot to tell you that I have a date Thursday night…I will tell you later

Is this what we call networking?

I think that being in a cast and using crutches is a great networking tool…no kidding. Please.

Since I broke my ankle the people around me are super friendly, helpful, encouraging, supportive and fun. Some of them are strange but it’s the minority.

The only problem I have with all this is …I remember reading a quote from Eleanor Roosevelt…”Great minds discuss ideas; average minds discuss events; Small minds discuss people”

I ask you…where does that leave me with my blog? Ouch…. I'm having fun writing in it I hope that you are enjoying reading it.

Bye for now

Bending over in the libray

The library is in a convenient place for me right now. I just sit there in the corner away from everybody with my cast on a chair beside me. Whenever I feel pain in my ankle I try to think ahead when I will be able to go back to the gym.

Go to the athletics centre to keep in shape and in my case it will be to get my ankle back in shape. Working out is also such a great way to relieve life stress and yes…sometime meet interesting and good looking men.

A few minutes ago I needed to go get another book okay. So I got up on my good leg and then bent down to retrieve my crutches that were on the floor…Giving somebody a great view of my ass in my tight skirt.

A man came over and asked me if I needed help.

“Can I help you?” He asked

“No I’m fine but thanks for asking.” I replied feeling so foolish with the way I did it.

“How long with this?” he asked, pointing to my cast.

“I just broke my ankle a few days ago” I told while I positioned my crutches under my arms and moved away.

My next class is way across the campus so I need to get going.

Bye for now
Amanda

My part time job

I have a great part time job in a small accounting firm close to my apartment. I love my office…I should say my little cubicle. I will be decorating it soon. I normally can walk to it but it’s a bit far on my crutches.

I know that I’m really lucky to have my job. When I showed up with my broken ankle they were all so nice to me.

Lunch time...later

Bye for now
Amanda

PS Thank you for the emails. I love them and I reply to all
