The head coach picked me up and brought me along on her Wal-mart trip so I could pick up a few things I've been needing. It's nice to get out of the ol' dorm room and the trip actually ended up being mildly eventful. Seeing that I know about 10 people in all of Georgia, I was tickled pink to actually run into two of them while at Wal-mart.
The first person I ran into was Barbara, the athletics department secretary. The first day in the office she started calling me Rose Mary but then corrected herself while still asserting that she felt my name should be Rose Mary. Well, her feelings haven't changed because she introduced me to her husband as Rose Mary and did it so quickly I didn't know what happened till I walked away and realized that she just said my name was Rose Mary and I had smiled and nodded in agreement.
About 5 minutes later I actually ran into my elusive suite mate who had dropped some things off Friday then disappeared for the rest of the weekend. I was excited to see her because it meant that she was in the area and would perhaps be spending time in the dorm today, so I went up and waved to her and her family and said hello. They in turn looked past me, looked uncomfortably at me or gave me a quizzical look. So I waited thinking maybe they just need a moment to remember who I was, after all I just met them Friday. No such luck. So I quickly pushed my carriage out of there way and made for the other side of the store.
You can only imagine how awkward I felt when we both arrived back to the dorm at the same time with our Wal-mart bags...
