First Day - UP Manila (June 1992)
by TheDivineMissM!
What do you remember of the first day of class?
I remember seeing Karen and Ordsky, I knew them from high school. I actually didn't want to sit with them at the steps of AS, I wanted to meet new people (high school wasn't exactly my height of cool...) but being a Freshman, there was safety in numbers!
I don't remember how I met Portia and Mads.... but I remember thinking Mads could run for Ms Congeniality. I remember meeting June and knew she would be friend. I remember seeing Beth (how could you miss her????) and didn't think we would be friends. Then PMA came along and we bonded!!! I remember Dial and thought she couldn't possibly be in University, she is TOO YOUNG! I thought she was a Dougie Howser, or something.
I remember looking around trying to find a cute guy, and didn't find anyone to my taste (guys, you should be thankful! I would have made your life a living hell for four years if you were my type!)
Aguy was the first guy I met. Then I remember John, and thought he was freaky. Now I can't imagine my life without that guy!
I don't remember how we ended up deciding (because that is what happened, the girls started talking and DECIDED that Alain is the cute guy) that one guy would have to be on the receiving end of our harassment.
I remember staying late in AS, with the hallways getting dark. I remember standing in the shadows of The Oblation. I remember feeling I was home.
