I am attending my last undergradaute class as we speak.
We are currently having a review session for my Organizational Design class for our upcoming final exam, and it seems like he’s really trying to make it easy for us, since I and many others have failed a number of quizzes.
We are allowed to bring a cheat sheet, and that’s usually bad news, because it would actually require our… understanding! Ack!
I can’t say that I feel a sense of remorse about my last class or about leaving as an undergrad. I’m very excited to be completing this term, and just enjoy the joys of summer. Perhaps I’m used to swapping school and work in 4-month intervals, but these two consecutive terms have been physically exhausting.
Why am I not sad? Is it because I’m returning to UW? Maybe. Is it because I haven’t left yet, and I am not at a point to appreciate it? Probably. Is the (unsustainable) grass always greener on the other side? Very likely.
What I can tell you is that these five years flew by in almost an instant. It seemed like just yesterday that I saw Shima and Shawn measuring the dimensions of the Modern Languages Courtyard. It seemed like yesterday that we stomped around trees because we were unhappy with our tree preservation project. It seemed like yesterday that Shima, Liz and I passed out on the V1 couches after fun night af Fed Hall. Haha.
I should make a list of these moments, especially since I have such bad memory retention.
It’s so weird tracing back the paths that led to where we are today. I recently went to Fed Hall, I went to FUBAR (which is nothing like Louie’s), and I intend to visit the REV cafeteria with some old floormates. I think that it would definitely be weird to be back in REV.
Hey, maybe I feel more sadness about leaving this school as an undergraduate than I thought.
What do you guys remember Waterloo?

I remember our first all nighter (doing the final project for PLA101) and all the drunken nights at FED/Louies.. and much more, but they are probably not internet friendly! :o

i remember this really cute guy living on my block (prior to Les of course ahaha) named Aaron. Aaron is a total flirt, has an eye brow ring bright blue eyes and can play the guitar. we used to "jam" back when i played guitar and wrestle each other. His girlfriend from London came up one night and we all watched some cheesy movie together.
and i don't remember hanging out with planners until 2nd year spring and stats class with dufournaud! i remember being the ONLY student at his memorial when he died, shaking his widow's hand and looking at his 5 year old. I still remember the nasty drawing Paolo drew of him in class.

i remember...hmmm
seems like most of my memories are paolo related...and theres way too many of them (since we were the new fadi and tamas i guess)...but this is a funny one (shima, liz and tiff prob remember this one too)
i remember when p and i did our presentation for plan 403 in w'03...i was speaking, he was in charge of the overheads. bad idea. while flipping through slides during my part, he dropped them and they scattered all over the place, then we had to scramble to get everything back in order and continue with our presentation that was already over the time limit. i have to say...i'll bring that up at his wedding one day as an embarassing moment...that he should stay away from o/h's at every cost for the rest of his life.
another one that i'll never forget. when fadi and tamas came in late to a plan 450 lecture one day (i dont want to know why :P)...and the only empty seats remaining were right at front. then trudi bunting saw them looking around for seats...then told them 'you can sit up front and be gay' ;)
also that or another class...she couldnt remember laurence's name...and ended up calling him 'larry', i think for the remainder of the term.
every else...what mostly stands out is a long history of GIS labs in the magellan with p :)
its kinda sad that i didn't really get to know most of you guys (your circle) until third year...but there are still so many more memories. UW times were good times for sure, i'll truly miss them.

You guys seriously wont miss your undergrad until you go somewhere in September. Nothing beats our times at Waterloo.. as lame as that sounds!
I can't wait to visit Matt next year. We should have an annual reunion there once a year and go to FED! LOL
