It seems as though all day I've been running into people that I sort of know and feel obligated to talk to for a certain period of time before continuing towards my destination. I am the worst casual conversationalist ever. I've noticed there are certain people that are really skilled at gracefully entering and exiting a conversation. I envy those people. Every conversation ends up being exactly the same for me.
1. I'm good, how are you? 2. I'm almost a senior but it's going to take forever to graduate, what about you? 3. Chemical engineering? Wow, I failed basic algebra last semester. 4. Oh yeah, sorry I forgot to respond to that text you sent me two months ago. 5. and here is my lame excuse to get away from this conversation before I have to talk about my love life. 6. (walk away cringing)
Maybe I should start practicing in the mirror.
This is quite possibly the greatest thing I've ever read.
ReplyDeleteI adore you, honey.
