Confusion of people from afar.

Like almost always when I see someone from afar and it turns out not to be them, I'm uniformly embarrassed because I either think bad of them, like, "Wow, she's not really that fat," or it's not good about me, like, "Oh, that's a different black person."

Yesterday, though, I was sitting outside the main library and I thought I saw a student in my program, only it turned out not to be here, just someone stylishly-dressed like her (high boots, short skirt, big sunglasses), which wasn't a bad mistake to make, to see someone stylish and mistake them for someone else who's stylish.
