With the new semester at school comes new schedules. I rarely the people I saw over the summer working at the university due to conflicting schedules. I'm feeling a little lonely in a crowd. I just want someone I can met for coffee (or my case tea) or eat lunch with occasionally. The Physics department is holding a beginning of the year shindig next week during my Physics lab. I know I like to avoid awkward social situations but there are some people in the department I'd like to get to know. I'm sort of lacking in opportunities here to get to know people in my departments so I'm not sure what to do.
Get a little drunk and go.
ReplyDeleteIgnoring the fact I don't drink, it is a reception at 3:30 pm on a Wednesday. I have a Physics lab during the reception that requires a high degree of dexterity and precision. Ball bearings, stroboscopes, cameras and alcohol don't mix well. OK, they don't mix in an educationally constructive way.
ReplyDeleteMy lab instructor informed us that the entire class has to go. They actually planned the reception at that time so I can't avoid it.
