so i had just come back from doing a workout and i was walking down my hall, and the room next to me has about 20 guys and girls just standing in it, talking. being me, i gave them all an awkward head nod/half smile thing and walked into my room, where i got a towel and soap and shampoo and things so i could shower.
when i walk out and by the room again this girl stops me and is like "hey!!" so i was like "hey..." and then she looks at me--i am super sweaty and carrying my towel and shower things--and proceeds to ask me "do you live on this hall?" ...no, i just walked into the room right next to you, stole a towel, soap and shampoo and am going to nonchalantly take a shower in this dorm where i don't live, nbd... "yeah, i do"
"thats so cool!! i live right down the hall i'm diana" and then she looked at me like she wanted to shake my hand, but then realized that i was holding a towel cause it wasn't exactly the most ideal time to have a "welcome to the dorm" conversation so she sort of looked at me awkwardly as i hesitantly said my name really slowly.
meanwhile, the whole room full of people is silently listening to my answers to this girl, and after this last exchange they are all staring at both of us as we decide what to do next.
after a moment of awkwardly staring at each other im like "well im gonna go take a shower now, since i should probably do that.." and i sort of wave my soap and shampoo as a good bye to the whole room of people who sort of wave bye to me also..
im really looking forward to more interactions with people who think its not awkward to stop someone on their way to the shower and ask them lots of questions in front of large groups of strangers. should be a good year.
