I have these red, itchy welts all over my body and it's excruciating. For a brief moment in time I was afraid that I wouldn't graduate in four years, gladly that fear has been allayed and all is well in the world again. Sure, people you meet are nice, but people in general are nice. That's not really saying much. People do stupid things.
People do outlandishly stupid things.
People are kind, evil, generous, fruitful, greedy, salivating. You name it. So doesn't it just knock you off your feet when you meet someone who surprises you. It's interesting at the very least. Or at the very most.
