Okay, first you have to know that I am starting a Master's Program in Reading in the fall at Chicago State University. I applied to the program a little bit ago and have been waiting to get my acceptance letter (yeah, bit over confident, but whatev). So, I get my letter in the mail, and it says I'm accepted (hooray!) and what the program requirements are; but nothing about how to register for classes or when the start of classes is or anything. So I went to call the school . . .
I had called the Reading Masters department recently, so I went into my cell phone's "most recent calls" and saw a number that wasn't a contact, started with 773 (Chicago's area code), and looked like it would have been Chicago State. I hadn't made many calls recently to people that weren't in my contacts.
So, I press send on the number. I guess I didn't really pay attention to what the person on the other end said when they picked up. So, I just started by saying, "I'm Sarah Culp and I have just been accepted into the Reading Masters program, I got my letter, blah-blah-blah, and I have some questions . . . "
The person on the other end was like "Wait, what classes do you need?"
I was like: "I don't know, thats why I called. I need more information about my acceptance."
Person on phone: "Acceptance to . . ."
Me (a little frustrated): "(Humpf) To the Reading Masters program. I just got my letter, but I have more questions about how to resister for classes and my student ID and stuff."
Person on other end: "Okay- but I'm just wondering why you called Pizza Hut about this."Me (Confused and then totally embarrassed): "Ah! I'm sorry, I thought I was calling Chicago State for some reason."
And then too embarrassed to say anything else about my complete insanity and stupidity hung up abruptly.
I totally forgot that last night we ordered pizza from Pizza Hut and their number, obviously not Chicago State, was actually the last Chicago number "called" in my phone. So funny. So embarrassing. And the pizza hut girl totally let me keep talking about the reading program! Hello, couldn't she have told me it was Pizza Hut as soon as I didn't make sense?? But lets be honest, I really can't blame it on anyone except me.
After all, I was the one who called Pizza Hut for help registering for classes at Chicago State.
My bad.

that just made my day. good job. did you finally get to talk to your school?
Why did Pizza Hut girl ask you what kind of classes you needed? Is there a Pizza Hut University? Maybe it's next to Caffeine University?
1) I can't stop laughing.
2) In Pizza Hut's defense, don't they have a reading program? They used to have one called "Book It" or something, and I got free pizza for reading. Maybe that's why she let you talk for a minute.
I love it! You had Glen and I both rolling.
1. No, there was no contact with my school yet (soon, though hopefully, unless I need more details on Stuffed Crust 101)
2. Yes, I'm considering enrolling in Pizza Hut University- as well as Caffeine University and University of College
3. Yes, Pizza Hut does have the "Book It" program- they want kids to be fat AND literate
4. I'm really glad I made you all laugh . . . seriously- why totally embarrass myself if I can't at least spread a little sunshine? :)
hahahahaha. i know i'm a little late but how funny! i feel like that kind of stuff always happens with recent calls you don't recognize.
Sarah! I peed my pants imagining this story take place. Literally...peed, it was gross.
My favorite thing is that she asked you what classes you needed. I mean, clearly you were calling to enroll for some of the many courses the Pizza Hut offers-- I took Dough Tossing 236 once. It kicked my butt.
