It's Happening

Anyone who reads my blog know about the theme of Science Nerdiness. Sometimes I share my observations. Sometimes I share my personal experiences. A common concern of mine is that I am getting sucked into this world.
So on my last day of my first semester of being a Chemistry professor, I had OC graduation. That morning, Josh had to leave early so Case and I had just awoken when he left. After I got to school and saw myself in the mirror and realized I didn't match. I was wearing brown slacks and a black shirt. It was very clashy. I had my questions that morning when I got dressed but convinced myself that I matched. So as I usually do when something funny or questioning occurs during my day, I texted my friend April, "I'm wearing brown slacks and a black shirt - I don't match! Josh left early today and he wasn't around to tell me if I matched." She responded, "You have to have Josh tell you if you match?"
Exactly.
I think my matching ability has gotten worse. I blame the science nerdom that I am a part of. I texted Josh, "I don't match today because you weren't there to tell me if I match!"
He responded, "It's happening."

I understand. Sometimes I think the more we learn, the less common sense we have. When Jason and I were dating, his grandpa died and I was the only person in town. I was working at the vet hospital in the large animal side at the time and had had several after-hours calls. Jason's cousins arrived at the hospital shortly after I did, and amid our crying and consoling one another, his cousin Kristin looked down and said, "Erin, are you wearing two different tennis shoes?" I was, and it made the day a little brighter.
