I went to the post office today because I needed to sent a package. With this package I wanted to put stamps on it instead of just a ticket stating what the price will be. The price of the package turned out to be $5.15 so I bought a few sheets of 37 cents stamps and stepped to a counter to place 15 or so stamps on my package. I was in my own little world figuring out the best way to arrange all these stamps on my package when someone took hold of my shoulders. Not only hold my shoulders but shook me really hard. The few seconds this lasted I thought "Wow, whoever that is must be suprised to see me." I turned around and saw a face I never saw before. Then I thouhgt maybe I know this man so I said this "ohhhhh...HI there! (giving the impression that I knew him.....when I completely didn't) Well he looked indian so I thought maybe I may have met him before. I am really bad with remembering faces anyways. This man looked at me and said "Ohh I thought you were my niece" at that time I finally figured out that I had no idea who this man was so I said "ohhh...it's okay." As I went back in line I couldn't look at this man in the face because I was still in a little shock. He kept apologizing and I said that was okay. "He kept saying your behind looks just like my niece" ..okay...



Then I saw someone from high school. It was intersting meet because I had no idea what her name was and she didn't remember mine either. At first I thought her name was destiny but her name was actually Gifted. How could I forget a name like that? It was strange event though. I mean in high school it seemed that the school was the whole world yet after four years I can't even remember a person I went to school with for YEARS. When she asked for my name I said it the way it should be pronounced with utmost confidence..it seemed to me that she didn't even recognize my name. My name has been pronounced so many different ways and I never corrected it until only a few years ago. Now I don't really give a chance for people to pronounce my name however way it suits them. No excuses anymore! I learned the English language to the best of my ability atleast you could say my name to the best of your ability.



Then I saw a teacher from high school...I never took a high school class with her..so I didn't say anything.



In conclusion, if you want to catch up on your old life...maybe consider going to the post office. Its a great hangout...let's get the party started at the post office?!?!


I can't relax at all. I think its a Sri Lankan thing. I was talking to another Sri Lankan and he mentioned the same thing...how his mom can't even sit down for one minute without finding something to do. I don't blame Sri Lanka...but maybe my parents.
