CHRISTINE BEAMER Nobody ever gets over high school clumsiness I was running late to class in the Modern Languages Building a few weeks ago. As I dashed up the stairs I tripped and fell forward, up the stairs, much to my chagrin. Memories of my clumsiness during my freshman year of high school (and my sophomore year, and my junior year ... and my senior year) flashed before my eyes. My eyes darted around to make sure no one saw me, but before I could escape the scene of the crime, a girl walking behind me stopped to see if I was OK. I nodded in assent, my Polish genes kicking in just then as my face flushed bright red. I gathered my notebooks as quickly as possible and fled to class.
