Alyssa’s wedding …
I almost don’t write about my course mates from MBA, so this would be a short one … at least about the person whom I’ve worked the most times during the past 2 years in class … 
Alyssa has been in the same class as me in the 1st semester & many other times later … and back then, we were the youngest in class … and she being the proactive & warm personality, talked to me 1st in class … when I was the Mr. Cool sitting in my corner happy with being myself …
She’s the one who initiated those workgroups that prepared for final exams … she’s the one who gets people together … instantly the natural leader & buddy for others. I’m the total opposite, the quiet one, but speaking when my opinion is asked … more of the lecturer’s pet …
Anyway, I’m the one who helped provide info for most of the time since she’s away for many times in
It was a nice surprise when she dropped me a call out of the blue … and I thought, haha, what’s it this time? So when she said it was her wedding … I was like … wow! That’s great … yes, I’ll be there … congratulations again!
When I went there … I knew no one & there was no one else from MBA class … so it was strange to be somewhere new & feel awkward. Most people say that because I’m a conference guy … so I meet people all the time … so there should be no issues. Almost true, except that my work persona & off work are contrasting beings … I almost shun publicity and I’m quite lazy to have a go at small talk, getting to know people …
So, I’m seated at this table where everyone else has a partner … and we all don’t know each other, so everyone talks to their partner all the time …EXCEPT for me … the guy without a partner … classic dumb ass me …
What would a dum dum like me do? Message to WY, played some Snake … spending all the time on the phone, except when the MC had something interesting …
So right after picture taking … me thought it’s time to go … and meet up my buddies at BU … so hasta la vista …
