So let me give some back ground to this story and as it unfolds, things will make more sense.

I've been working on my thesis proposal for the past week and the stupid thesis approver dude doesn't seem to want to pass it. Anyway, I spent 2 hrs talking to my advisor/director of the HP program. He gave me all these ideas of what I should put in the proposal to make it work. Note: The official proposal is due tomorrow and if I don't get it approved I can't take the class this semester which sets me back a semester of school...fun.
So, I've been working on that and then I get an email from another professor about a Graduate Research Assistant position which she would like to me me for the following day. So, I'm freaking about the proposal and add the stress of semi-job interview on top. This morning the approver dude tells me I can turn in the proposal today so that if something is wrong, I can work on it the next day and still turn it in by Friday...Good. He wants me to turn it in by 11am. I have 12:30 class so I decide to go to the gym in between. I get all my stuff ready and pack a bag with interview appropriate clothes. Leave, turn in the paper, and go to the gym and do my thing.

Now, comes the understanding to the title....

I'm showering and changing after running and start to think, did I bring a bra? Normally us small chested gals don't have much of a problem going braless. But! I'm doing an interview thing with a female professor and my shirt is a thin WHITE shirt. No hiding the freedom boobs! So after spending a couple of minutes rifling through my bag, my fears are confirmed...missing. So what am I to do? Well thankfully I had worn a zip up sweater over my gym clothes. I put that ontop and hope it does the job. It does...no support but blessedly keeping me from showing the world my goods. Unfortunately the sweater has a yucky coffee stain down the front so I'd rather not wear it to the interview and its freakin' hot outside!! My plan? After class but before the interview, scour the drag in an attemp to find a bra in one of the stupid stores.

So I begin my search. I go to Urban Outfitters...no bra, no tank to hide, nothing but one little nude color soft bra that was too small and looked like it belonged in the kids section. I go to Whole Earth...maybe I can find a biodegradable bra? Good for the earth right? Nothing unless I was a 38DD. That I am not!

I'm running short on time at this moment and so decide to head over to the interview sweaty, bra less and exhausted. In a last hopeless attempt I go into a University Co-op girls clothing store I vowed never to go into. The last place and success! Offwhite 9.99 tank w/ built in bra. The support I need at an affordable price! The clerk even recognized my plight and offered to let me put it on in the dressing room and wear it out.

So! Here I sit writing in this blog, properly support and with enough coverage to be a disappointment at a wet t-shirt contest!
