I remember 2B, the stormy term
Submitted by Pek on Thu, 04/29/2010 - 13:32I remember not feeling well in class and rushing out to throw up my breakfast in the girls' washroom. I remember you came into the washroom to see how I was. I remember walking home with you, with you holding onto my arm since I felt like I was gonna faint every step of the way to your UWP Woolwich residence which was closer than walking home. I remember sleeping on your bed and you making me rice porridge - after I explained how to make it, lol. I remember you burnt it a little but I ate it all anyways. I remember cursing myself for staying up all night writing that work-term report. I remember making it home by myself afterwards and just crashing on my bed. I remember you guys being concerned because I literally did just crash on my bed and sleep.
I remember how we all got cell phones this term and were rapidly exchanging numbers. I remember the guys walked by and teased us about it.
I remember you persuaded me to join the basketball team again but then you didn't end up going to most of the games, anyways. I remember feeling a bit of resentment for that. I remember you asked me to join in for volleyball, but I turned you down because I really suck at playing volleyball. I remember feeling a bit sad because I wanted to play with you on a sports team again.
I remember you guys were so focused on the win that we didn't have fun. I remember the ref telling me I had too many pins in my hair and that I had to take them out. I remember not being happy about that and that my hair always got in my way. I remember the one time we kicked a soccer ball around outside while waiting for our game.
I remember showing you a big bruise on my knee from falling in Basketball and you were very concerned. I remember shrugging it off because I often get bruises playing sports.
I remember you started to come to my Engineering classes, lol, and having another girl in class at the front of the room is really noticeable.
I remember 2A, the calm before the storm

I remember I left a lot of embarrassing things in the bathroom that day we moved in but we just laughed it off. But it was so embarrassing that I remembered not to do it again!
I remember coming back to campus, turning around the corner to DWE 2536, our new classroom... and you charged at me to give me a big hug! I miss those hugs.
I remember we were talking at the front of the classroom and you told me I had lost so much weight. It caught me by surprise a bit since I had not realized that myself. I guess working 60 hour weeks does do that to you.
I remember you waving a ruler in front of my face because you were jealous I was talking to someone else. I remember getting poked at the side while I was talking to her and getting annoyed at you guys for trying to get my attention while I was having nice conversations with people. I remember you kept poking me in class so I had to split us up by sitting on the right side of the room, while you lot were all on the left side.
I remember that first meeting the group of us agreed to form a Tron basketball team. I remember our first practice match where you introduced yourself to me - you were wearing a red jersey, right? I was wearing jogging pants and rolled up the pant legs to my knees so they didn't get in the way. I remember telling myself to quickly buy a pair of shorts. I remember you telling me I was pretty good at basketball and I was really happy. I remember I couldn't believe I could play basketball, something I had always wanted to do since the fun times I had on the outdoor courts in Grade 6.
I remember us shopping in the UW shop. I remember I did buy shorts there - we both did. I probably should have gotten the guy shorts like you did. I didn't understand at the time, but I realize now that the girls' shorts were just too short.
I remember 1B, our first school term in the summer
Submitted by Pek on Mon, 04/12/2010 - 18:14I remember the RCH basement classroom had so much air conditioning in the summer. I remember you complaining you were cold so I took off and tossed you my jacket. I remember you sitting beside me and poking at my arm, telling me I had goosebumps. I remember shrugging it off as no big deal, but yeah... it was a little bit cold.
I remember the only time the group of us girls went to the Fairview mall together taking the bus to go shopping. I remember keeping us on schedule so we didn't miss the last iXpress at 5pm. I remember it didn't run that often back then.
I remember the materials lab questions bored us and we wanted to be creative, so we went and bought timbits to create the FCC and BCC crystalline structures.
I remember that hypnotism psych class I attended with you. I remember my fascination with "cognitive dissonance" and how I was making no sense to you at all about why "cognitive dissonance" meant so much to me, since I never told the full story nor started at the beginning back then.
I remember meeting you there for the first time in the psych lecture and how much I liked the energy you had. I remember running into you later outside Eby Hall and you were so down about one of your exams, worried about failing. I remember feeling sad not being able to empathize at the time.
I remember visiting the piano room with you often. I remember I envied your skills since I've always wanted to learn how to play piano. I remember how much you liked playing Boa's "Waiting..." song.
I remember doing those circuits CDTs with you. I remember not liking the integrals for inductors that they included in one of our labs. I remember you helping us out on the CDTs often.
I remember those Religions of the East lectures. I remember borrowing the book from you a few times since I didn't buy the book that term. I remember talking to you about your CS program and not being impressed by the $10/hr co-op jobs you guys got.
