Not a big surprise, but it dawned on me that I've been spending most of my days in front of a computer screen or hunched over some reading material or the other.
I guess it was thrown in harsh relief when I realised that I spoke to a total of 6 people yesterday! -->
- 2 (or was it 3?) were the quick, generic 'hi, how are u?' greetings...I know it shouldn't count but...
- I got a 'hi toots' from Ike (smile...don't know how I'd survive Business Forecasting w/out you!)
- One was totally school related- 'hi, sorry I didn't turn in my part of the project yet, you'll have it before the end of the night'...(so says Chris, my student body president - luv ya Bax!)
- 2 were actually more than 5 mins!
---Went beyond the 'hi's and hello's' with Justin -super smart guy sitting next to me in Law and Finance of Equity Markets class- yea, we actually got into 'how are classes/ exams going?' and 'how the hell do we study for this exam?!'
---Cheryl stopped by while I was having breakfast to tell me this guy from the Divinity school who is in my Project Pyramid class has a crush on me (oh yea, did I mentioned I've probably directly spoken to him only two times?)... this was pathetically my most entertaining conversation for the day!
Thank God I'm really good at entertaining myself (yes, I'm one of those people who are frequently carrying on another conversation in their heads...w/ themselves or the alter ego/ talk to God alot too. He even answers on occasion :) ).Disclaimer: I totally blame this on the MBA experience and not my (gregarious) social skills and (extroverted) personality...smile!
(me: 'pretending' that the mere act of
putting on some spectacles makes me
appear more studious)
