I've been meaning to do this for a while, but excuse my laziness [laciness]. I originally submitted these pictures for the senior banquet slideshow, but they never made it because the guy in charge apparently became too lazy to browse through all the submitted pictures and only used pictures from the first few people. Hence, the reason why the same people kept showing up throughout the slideshow. Anyway, seeing the younger class this past weekend, finishing finals and getting ready for graduations, made me feel a bit nostalgic. How has it already been two years since we've graduated?


These pictures are literally all I have to remember college by. I hope they bring as many fond memories as they do for me. =]



Taken during sophomore retreat, this was the Americana girls picture, of which I was an honorary member for frequenting the place so often while I lived at 2329½ Dwight Way.

I'll never forget Sewon and Kristy having to trek across the street every Friday to wake my sleeping ass in time for FicB. Apparently, I'm quite the temperamental monster when awoken from a deep slumber. I completely disagree. Why Kristy is wearing those Hello Kitty earmuffs, I do not know.





Taken either our sophomore or junior year, this is a picture of our class girls who watched The Beauty and The Beast musical in SF. The roses in my hand were thrust to me by a nearby vendor right before we took the picture and taken away immediately after.

I'll never forget the scene when the Beast is supposed to change into a human after Belle kisses him and admits she loves him while he breathes his last breath. The Beast was lifted into the air, began to rotate, and then froze as he was horizontally suspended in the air. The suspenseful music began to crescendo, but the Beast remained motionless. Then suddenly, a voice announced, "We are experiencing technical difficulties. We apologize for the inconvenience." The curtains closed and the lights came on. Five minutes later, the lights turned off, the curtains opened, triumphant music commenced, and lo and behold, there was the Prince, smiling beatifically at an astonished Belle. There was certainly not much magic felt after that.



Taken during the first EM retreat, I don't remember much except the Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon skit where the parents made their babies fly. That was when I was first introduced to Hayley and Nicole. I wonder how they're doing now. And Heidi, my husky little protégé who'll never remember me.








Taken at Sisters' Appreciation, it's weird to see how we've changed over the years, but at the same time, haven't really. I also think Jane shouldn't have been carrying Linda's torso and that Sharon or I should have been instead.

I'll never forget how incredibly uncomfortable and out of place I felt throughout the breakfast.







Also taken at Sisters' Appreciation, these were the girls in my sophomore small group.

I'll never forget Sarah disclosing her random obsession with chapstick. I'm so glad she was my small group leader. Three of the four of us would be in the same small group again the following year.





Taken during POTCH our sophomore year, I always thought our class came up with creative and ingenious skit ideas. This was no exception.

I'll never forget the chills I felt every time I saw this scene. I'll also never forget being Kristy's voice-over. That was fun.






Taken during POTCH our junior year, Judy's Moulin Rouge idea initially seemed a bit complicated, but the result was very successfully delivered. It was fun watching Carroll yank and swing Sewon around like a limp rag doll.

I'll never forget Karen pairing Kristy and Kwansoo together because she thought he was too short to be her partner, nor how I felt when I discovered it was Andy Chon who had plugged the extension cord through the chair I was supposed to use during the puppet scene.
