It is an interesting thing, seeing people you haven't seen in a while, especially when you're home from college. There is a certain amount of pressure to sound smarter than when you left and to delve into more mature conversational topics. It's just weird. Before I left, I was talking about the true nature of Speidi's relationship, now I'm talking about travel visas and lines of study? What's happening?
And what's weirder is the people that you wind up talking with. Adults start seeing you as one of them and your friends and acquaintances are aging alongside you. People you never really talked to are now carrying on full conversations! Let's take this guy "A" for example, "A" has never really liked me, has ignored me and has rolled his eyes at me whenever I talked, no matter what I was saying. Today, I wave "hello" and he comes over and has a lengthy conversation with my best friend and me about school. The longest thing I have EVER done with this kid is play a game of chess, five years ago, silently. Oh well, things are always changing. Might as well move on.

Seriously some people always seem to wanna reconnect with the people they never really had a connection with in the first place. -L
