Fear of the unknown

Yesterday I was invited to a get-together for math faculty.  And since I am now full-time faculty [although half in math and half in drafting], the head of the math department invited me and my dear hubby to join them others at his house.

To be perfectly honest, I didn't really want to go.  Well, let me explain.  I wanted to go, I wanted to get to know others more, I wanted to be part of the full-time math faculty... BUT... I didn't know what to wear, I didn't know how to handle what to say when offered wine or beer [which I knew they would be serving], I didn't know how to talk to my peers, I didn't know what it would be like, which all of this boils down to... I have a fear of the unknown!

I started talking over all these things with Tim, and before I could get through my list, and explain that I didn't think I wanted to go, he interrupted with telling me what I should wear, and that if I didn't go, he would just have fun there without me.

So we went.

And I had a really good time! 

The end :O)
