I am "Missin' the 'Dew"!
My old chem study partner, John sent this picture of Tommy, to me. Stef wants to see what Tommy, her male counterpart from my gen chem days, looks like. No, Stefanie is not growing a mohawk, to my knowledge! The two of them are both incredibly smart. Sometimes the sentences that come out of their mouths, you just have to laugh at, for being so brainy, factual and swiftly spoken, without any thought to the words. They just seem to fly out! Who talks that way?! Tommy and Stefanie!
We had a really, great study group, in SF. Morning Dew cafe is a place where we spent soooo many hours upon hours, studying chemisty together, doing problem sets and drinking coffee. Tommy and John kept me entertained with their jokes about Dr. Fong, our professor (whom we all adored, btw). Sometimes the people you grow closest to, are the ones who you go through tough times with. And at times, all three of us felt as though Dr. Fong enjoyed crushing our young, agile minds! As much as these guys annoyed me before exams (Tommy and I used to get at each others throats... the Aries, Scorpio combination) I'm glad we were in it together. It's too bad Tommy didn't stick around for O-Chem. He had to go off to Berkeley, and then on to MIT. And John is at Berkeley, himself. So far away! But always in touch and ready to laugh at a joke or two about Zumdahl or Fong.

Haha! Thanks for the photo... I have a subscription to Scientific American, which makes it all slightly funnier. I'm sorry you miss SF, but c'mon, the library and the sofas with Tenar and I aren't so bad!
of COURSE you do! That doesn't surprise me in the least. I will state for the record that I DO NOT have a subscription to SA. I'm not that hardcore, I suppose. :) Last night was fun. Today, I am studying frog gastrulation... YES!!!
No, you and Tenar are not bad. You're both a lot cuter than Tommy! And I haven't had to kill either of you... yet. ;) But Tommy was cute, in his own Tommy way. Almost adorable at times. Even when we feuded! Did I ever mention he and I didn't get along all that well? I can't even recall why at times we seriously hated each other. Maybe it was sibling rivalry? Just too many hours spent with testorsterone pumped, frustrated guys. Tommy was frustrated. I am pretty sure that John really wasn't all that frustrated. But, I digress! :)
Thanks for the CD, by the way. Once I get my Music libaray restored, I will burn you some tunes, too!
