...has been getting to know people. I realized this today at the FDRC (work; fluid dynamics research center) barbeque lunch. As a freshman, I was really shy and barely knew my professors. It took me a huge effort for me to put myself out there and get to know people. After being in that situation, it feels really good to have lunch with professors from your department and have a nice conversation with them.
One of the students I work with, I've noticed, knows a whole lot more people than I do (or probably ever will). Then again, he has a knack for casual conversation and putting people at ease; or maybe he has just had more practice than I have!
Either way, I find myself really glad that I know the people I know and looking forward to meeting new ones. I learn something from every person I meet; and furthermore, they are the ones who will be writing my reccomendations later this year!
