Teeming with students

[lazarus7]

I just got back from a quick lunch at the SUB. Normally that is a simple task, but today is a different sort of day

They all just came through my office but there wasn't a good moment to ask the group if anyone of them was Kimberly (even though I do love to embarrass people slightly in public).

Good grief, you like crowds? Next time I have to go hang out in a crowd, I'll give you a call. =)

I do love crowds. Being in the middle of masses of humanity is a wonderful experience.

It might also help that I have a few inches of clearance on you ... my view might change if I was the same height.

You are such a positive guy sometimes! Whenever I leave the UBC campus, the pool especially, I feel way older and fatter than I ever do on the north shore.

I have no delusions that I am trim and sexy and 23 years old. I do feel more those things when surrounded by them.

What they said - being in a crowd of undergrads (or Metrotown, ugh) makes me feel old and grumpy! I admire your positive outlook :)

Metrotown makes me feel like I am in Hong Kong ...

I like being surrounded by crowds of young people at UBC because:

a) I love the sense of potential they all carry with them. Their dreams have not yet been dashed, they haven't grown old and fat and jaded yet, and they are in the middle of what they will perceive as the best years of their life filled with drama and madness and alcohol and sex and learnings of all kinds. I am excited for them.

b) It makes me feel old and that is a good thing. I remember the good times, but I also remember the melancholy, the pain, the trouble and the keen disappointments of being not grown up. I have grown older and less neurotic, more sure of myself, more capable and slightly thinner. I'm glad I don't have to go through that growing up thing again.
