I need to be better at adapting.
You know when you have something to say, you usually plan it? Like how it should be delivered, when and you normally play the situation in your head a bit? When the sitch is different irl, I have trouble slotting in my convo and spend the whole time thinking... is now a good time to break the stream of conversation to ask a potentially stupid question? Which it never is. So I come home, unsatisfied with having no answer to a question/suggestion I should have asked/made. Sometimes when the situation changes, I completely forget to ask about stuff.
Also stuff like people's names- I always forget them nowadays esp when we're introduced in a quick/rushed way. You can't ask for their name again after the second or third meeting (yeah I'm really atrocious) and on the fourth meeting ITS TOO LATE. There was this cool girl in my tute last sem- I never got around to finding out her name. It was in Chinese- and the roll was predominantly made up of Chinese students :P it's been months and its STILL bugging me.
So annoying.
First day of fieldwork today. I woke up before my alarm- I think I'm still in between timezones. Wishing you all have a great day- despite the not so great weather. Yesterday's cloud and light sprinkling was kind of a relief. I wast exactly ready to plunge myself into 30+ deg heat. But still, wishing for a sunny day!

3 screams of joy:
Ughhhh I hate having to try bring things up in conversation! It NEVER plays out like the script in my head :(
And when I do, it sounds super dorky and retarded. fml.
Let's just cry and huddle in Loserville
I get that same feeling. Sometimes I raise things at the wrong time and people just ignore/talk over me. So socially awkward.
