We took a class field trip yesterday, and no one was making conversation on the bus, so one girl pointed out how lame we were all being, and she and I got into a small conversation. We don’t usually talk, so it was another step forward =) I also sat next to a girl I rarely talk to during science class, when I usually sit alone. Well, she sat next to me, and we laughed the whole time.

This doesn’t really count as talking to a stranger…but there’s this guy I’ve seen for over a year now, on my way to school. He’s always walking down the road when we pass him, early in the morning. This year, we passed him again, and I randomly decided I may as well wave. He immediately smiled and waved back! He must recognize us by now, as we recognize him and drive by him in the same places each week. It was a big thing for me and my sister =)
