I am an awkward person

That is beyond true. However, my awkwardness seems to become magnified when I mix in long, straight sidewalks and run-ins with people I don't know very well yet who warrant some kind of greeting or acknowledgment. 

So how do I deal with this awkwardness? Well, I stare. At the ground. With. Intense. Concentration. (and yes I am furrowing my brow as I write this)

I figure, why not? It's about finals time. I'm allowed to appear stressed out. Everyone else does! 

What a strange world it is where I would rather appear upset publicly than acknowledge someone from a long distance away and do the casual awkward smile flicker for 200 feet. 

Oh goodness. What will become of me??
