Weekly Challenge #263: Describe an awkward situation.

Directions:
1. Post on the challenge thread, declaring the goals you have committed to. This must be done before midnight on Monday.
2. When you have finished your goals, post on the challenge thread again, stating what goals you have completed, how many times you have completed them, and whether any of them were combined.
3. At midnight on Saturday you are not allowed to report any more finished goals, and the challenge is over.

Rules:
1. You can repeat the weekly challenges, and get more points, but if you repeat your own personal goal, you will not get extra points.
2. The organizer has the right to veto any personal goal that seems too easy (i.e. writing a sentence).

Points:
You can earn points by:
1. completing the weekly challenge
2. repeating the weekly challenge
3. completing your personal goal
4. combining your personal goal and the weekly challenge

* EDIT: I looked up all of the definitions of "awkward" and discovered that it does not have to be a socially uncomfortable situation ... so I changed from "reluctantly" accepting the Challenge to "enthusiastically" accepting the Challenge.

from Merriam-Webster:

I am going to bow out this week. With school starting, working full time, and my in-laws moving to town, my week was absolute chaos last week, so this week I'll be finishing all the things I didn't do last week... >.> I'm still going to write, I'm just not going to set a specific goal.

Totally understandable.



Glad you could join the challenge.
