All the Small Things

Before I forget them:

• Rolling across roof lounges
• Salt, Sherlock Holmes
• Invitations to practice kicking
• "Shooting" water, chips, pretzel sticks, rock candy, crackers, Pineapple Crush, green tea, ketchup, string cheese, etc.
• Playing cards and room key cards stuck to faces
• Climbing through wilderness, lost in the arboretum, going in circles, finding our way out
• Lunch at the Manoa shopping center
• Midnight trumpet playing "happy birthday"
• Always instinctively hitting "1" when going down, "E" when going up
• Tuesday, before math class, that girl walked down the stairs by Grace and I, and said things about us being so shocked about someone who had jumped/fallen down the stairs and how we were too shocked and saddened to tell anyone about it or even move (because we were both kind of blanked out looking down the stairs)
• Dinner "hellos"
• The rabbit always loses to the turtle =/
• "Panga"
• Nutella with whole wheat Ritz crackers
• Dane finished his paper, Alice and Jeffery (and Romee!) did not start
• Discussions in Anthropology verging on topics of racial divisions, invisible coasts, the possibility of a future of everyone being mixed and looking alike, the lack of the ability to go backwards to purity
• Lunch in Holmes shooting birds with imaginary guns
• Paradise Palms with Myungjun & Josh
• Hiding in Annie's closet and not managing to conceal laughter
• Less than one whole sip of coffee (plus what remained of the sweetener packet) leads to an hour-long "coffee high"
• 1 am calculus homework wrap-ups, with a brief calculus converstaion Jordan's roommate passing by the E-lounge ("I give you props!")
• Rachel, Rachel and the other not-Rachel all live on the 12th floor
