10/16: walking across campus

All my classes this semester are in the same building as my office, which means I see the same people a lot.  Today I had to walk across campus mid-day to get my flu shot in another building, and it was so nice to exchange words in passing with people I don't usually see.  It gave me a boost to have people smile when they saw me.  (I don't think the people in my office building dislike me--it's just they see me all the time--and I them--so there's almost no "oh-it's-so-nice-to-see-you" smile-factor at play anymore.)
