Remembering College

 

Dear Blog,

After work today, I while I was at the grocery store I ran into an old classmate; Anna. I was surprised to see her since, right after she graduated last semester she got an amazing job offer in England teaching a literature course.

She was back in town for a couple weeks, visiting family and picking up the last of her personal items.

While we were talking she pulled out of her wallet an old messenger conversation that Gerard and I had. I used to have that conversation in my wallet, but then my wallet got stolen and I lost it.

I hope the conversation is able to convey the “goofiness” that we had during fifth semester.

 

Anna: Here is a recount of your classmate relationship

1st and 2nd semester:

Gerard: Did you do your homework, can I see it just to make sure mine’s ok?

Rae (me!) Sure!! (OMG A NEW FRIEND!) (this is actually very true, the first time Gerry spoke to me, I was overjoyed.)

3rd and 4th semester:

Gerard: Hey so…I didn’t do my homework, can I copy yours? I will totally change stuff so it doesn’t look like I copied it.

Rae: Sure, you’re the best!

5th and 6th semester:

Gerard: B**CH GIMME YOUR HOMEWORK!

Rae: Sure thing, my dearest, dearest friend!

7th, 8th, and 9th semester:

Gerard: What we had homework? Ush, Rae you betta do it for me, I’m too busy doing nothing with my Life/Partying/Pretending I’m working on my Thesis…

Rae: No problem, you know I will always be here for you!

(Then Gerard ‘hopefully’ finished University and Rae;s life purpose is lost forever…. THE END)

 

I still laugh whenever I remember that conversation. I invited her over to the house so she can see Gerry again. Also, it’s funny showing off the house and ‘our’ new life. I hadn’t realized how much I miss her perky personality.

She is coming over sometime this week or next week for dinner. We exchanged numbers and we be in touch.

 

I was just realizing that I should write down when Gerard and I met. I quickly reviewed it when when we got engaged, but I haven’t really gone into it.

 

Till Next Time

XOXO
