Don't judge- It's all about perception!

I find myself doing this so often. Heck, I recently went out of my way at my local grocery store to have a second and long look at an interesting outfit I saw on some unknown lady. I stare. But usually, I don’t get caught. If I did, I might keep my curiosity to myself, but I think I have mastered the art of staring.

Just yesterday, I went to the Green Mountain coffee shop on UNT’s main campus. I bought my favorite beverage, a caramel macchiato and moved away from the shop. The sitting area just next to it was lightly occupied. About seven students, mostly male were seated there. Some studying, others discussing with friends. I found a seat far away from everyone else and took out a book and pen. At first it looked like I was writing, then reading, but all I was doing was drawing circles in anticipation of the staring match I was about to begin.

Then I found my muse. She had interesting hair like I sometimes do. It was dyed green (I usually stick with red). I think I chose her because she had dared to look different from everyone else. And so I looked at her face, my pen in my mouth for a long time as she toyed with her phone. She did not look up for a while. I stared some more. And then the moment I dreaded happened. She lifted her head and caught me watching. My reflex action was to turn my face.

The Name of the Game I Now Play

Happy New Year everyone! Where I come from (Cameroon) it's not too late to say  "happy new year" if you haven't communicated with someone since the first of the year. Considering that it's been over two years since I posted anything, Happy New Year again my friends! :)
This time around I am back to blogging because of my cognitive science class (sigh). Just kidding. I must admit that it is hard for me to put my thoughts together in a blog post. Persistence is however the name of the game I now play.
I look forward to an exciting semester of classwork and blogging.
Peace!
