wierd encounters

this is bizarre. i was working away in the ceu phd lab when ferenc bounced in an suggested we go for drinks. As i am always thirsty, i immediately agreed....so we went to a bar near the university and starting catching up on all that has happened in the past 5 months since we last saw each other...then i looked up just in time to see a familiar face walk through the door.
i know about 4 other phds in my programme in london, only one of them english ethnically, and he studies hungarian agrarian policy (as an exciting topic as that must be). i first met him at the post grad party i went to last september with gabor. i have seen him since and when we are in the same room we end up talking sometimes,
so as i am listening to Feri go on about university politics, in walks this guy from my faculty in london. and he doesnt look at me. then his friend chooses the table right next to ours and we actually sit without acknowledging each others presence for over an hour. i mean, it wasnt me, i smiled, but he looked down!
english are so strange
