Thought for the day

I keep checking my blog to see if it has somehow changed since the last time I wrote and now even I'm getting bored, so I guess that means it is time to write again. Unfortunately, I don't have enough time to catch up with the week I missed since I last wrote tonight, so I'll just have to leave you with a small observation for now.

It's funny how when I went to Furman I kept meeting people that looked like friends I had in high school. Now, I'm in the real world and I keep finding people who look like friends I had in the bubble. Two of the people I met tonight at my book club meeting reminded me of people I already know. I think it must be my brain's way of making totally foreign surroundings in some way familiar so I don't become completely overwhelmed. But sometimes it is a bit startling to be sitting beside someone whose name is Ryan that I keep wanting to call Jared and ask what he thought of the English class we took with Dr. Visel. It can be a little embarrassing, too, when I can't remember the new people's names because they seem so much like the old ones. I'm fully convinced everyone in the world has a twin they don't know about who looks just like them and even has some of the same mannerisms. I wonder what are the odds, genetically speaking, that could happen?
