i think i have proved in the last week that i am about as coordinated and socially skilled as a 3 year old. i guess it is just the stress of everything that makes me do weird stuff.sometimes i freak out and forget what coordinated, normal people do.
for example, the other day two people were talking. they were standing rather far apart and my path was set to go right in between them, so i thought it wouldn’t be a big deal. like i said, they were standing pretty far apart. well at the last minute i decided that it was rude to walk in between them, but i already was walking in between them… so i freaked out and just kind of…yelled…and ran in between them. why i had to yell and run in between two people holding a conversation instead of just walking quietly by, i don’t know. it seemed like the right thing to do, really it did. at least they thought it was funny and laughed…at me.
tonight i was packing up my stuff after calculus. i decided to zip up my bag after tossing it onto the desk because that seemed easier. however, we happen to have stadium seating in that room and i was up high and a guy just happened to be walking under me when i tossed my bag up quite forcefully. and of course my stuff shot out of my pack and onto him. i apologized and thankfully he thought it was funny.
after class i was playing with my styrofoam cup in the hallway, which still had some water in it. i was ripping the top off of it and forgot myself for a minute and ripped the bottom off too…spilling water on myself and the floor.
and then in calculus we were doing a problem where a bicycle rider is going up a mountain, and we determine that the problem isn’t really reasonable because it turns out her speed approaches infinity as she continues up. a student asked “so what, does she fall off the mountain?” and as the TA is about to answer, i said “no, she just goes really fast!!!”. i was so excited about it, the only reason i can think is that i had too much coffee right before…hah.because, if you know me, i really don’t speak up in class…like…ever.
so long as i pass this stuff off as funny i guess it is okay, but if i can’t do that well then i just become that weird one on campus who you try to avoid.
