A Glowing Moment

I had one of those random people encounters today. You know the kind, where you are thinking about something or someone and then out of no where that someone shows up and brings up that something... Ok, that was about the vaguest statement I have made in a long time. Anyways, the someone was a TA that I had in a class previously that saw me and stopped to talk today. The something that he brought up was graduate school and some of what is involved in getting in. This has been a lot on my mind lately and it was reassuring to hear from someone who has been through it already that it isn't too intimidating. Ok, so not too extravagant right? I guess what made it stand out it my mind is that he may have been flirting with me... And it was nice to have a guy who is both accomplished and in the biology field notice me. I am probably just hallucinating but it made me smile at least. That lovely glow after a successful social interaction is always nice. And it is rare these days for the walls I have put up to let me acknowledge such. Too bad it was only fleeting... Ah well!
