First day? Well learn to Shut up!

Today I learned a very important lesson to do with life. Not that it's new to me but it seems experience is the best teacher. OK here it is today I went to colle thinking that was the first day of reporting all psyched up and all. Then I met two girls. Yes how lucky could I get right ;)? Girl 1 is more out going and social while girl 2 is more closed less out going and more timid than girl 1. We have a nice chat with both girls and I'm happy I'm doing the same course as girl 1. Girl 2 tends to keep to herself during our chatter with girl 1. Finally since there was no use being idle we decided to head back to our respective homes . On our way to catch a mat(matatu) girl 1 gets to meet a pal she was waiting waiting for and they hit it off. We both knew that it would be best to let girl 1 and the new boy talk so we both hang back as we let them lead the way. Not wanting to seem odd I break the ice and start a conversation with girl 2. We continue and that's when she said something that clearly showed what she thought of me. She put it into one simple word, talkative. Ouch! Well off course there was the slight pause in the conversation as I began to contemplate what the hell I did wrong. That was the first time anyone has ever said that to me I'm usually the geeky guy who tries not to turn into a nerd. Then it hit me she was right, I was talking to much! The truth especially from the fairer sex isn't taken to well by most men so we walked the rest of the trip in awkward silence. OK she did try to continue the small talk but the damage was done. After seeing her off and a very disconnected handshake we parted ways. I still kept thinking about this then I realized if it's the first day you meet someone try not to talk or disclose to much they may end up thinking you're shallow. Lesson learned now when I report for my first day I'm sure I'll be glad Girl 2 made me learn this very important lesson.
