I went to the Undergraduate Accounting Society meeting last night. It was nice, I managed to get some information from an actual CPA and met someone new from the Village. His name is Bill and he's from building 8. My conversation with him was quite satisfactory. I did experience tongue tie here and there, but it went well. I also conversed two freshmen that was sitting behind me. Overall, last night on Thursday was quite decent.
However, today is Friday and I pretty much fubar'd a conversation. AGAIN and AGAIN. Stephanie, a blonde girl (another one) that works at the Village Market, started a conversation with me. It went like this:
Her: "Hi, I haven't seen you in awhile!"
Me: "Oh Hi, I haven't seen you last year."
Stephanie's interest in our conversation suddenly started to wane. I saw that she was disappointed, thinking that I have forgotten about her. I didn't, I merely misspoke. I knew that Stephanie was attracted to me since last year, but I think I pretty much screwed it up. First Shannon, then Stephanie, communicating with others is a pain in the ass. I went back and tried my best to clarify it to Stephanie, but I think it's pretty much up in smoke.
I still don't understand. What was it about Katherine that made me open up to her so easily? Was it some subconscious thing? Was it the hospital's environment? I wish I could speak to girls as easily as I could speak to Katherine, sigh.
In an unrelated note, I am at 207.2 pounds today after working out. Awesome, I'm pretty much back to my high school level weight and even a bit lower. I'm going to schedule it so that I will workout everyday in the morning. I hope I'm not just losing water weight though, if I am, then I was carrying 17 pounds of water which is quite ridiculous.
Note to self: Think before you speak and remember that facial expression plays a very important role in interpersonal communications. Remember to stand up straight. When greeting others, limit eye contact to initial contact then break off.
