Keep Your Head Down

I've decided that whenever I walk anywhere at school from now on, I'm going to stare at the ground, exactly 3 feet in front of my feet.

I've been getting in the most uncomfortable eye-contact/greeting situations with people recently. As many of you know, handled poorly, a greeting can leave you walking away thinking, "WTF did I just say/do/gesture?!"

These situations are only exacerbated by the fact that in college, you tend to have a lot of acquaintances- people that deserve a nice greeting but maybe not a phone call. You never know how these acquaintances will react to a "hello", or how they will react to a non-greeting.

However, if you don't see the person (i.e. you are staring at the ground), you can't be at fault. Maybe I'm reading into this a bit too much, but at least I won't be tripping on any unexpected obstructions in the paths of Vassar College.
