re: A farewell to Kirby Smith Hall

Who am I? I stayed in pentagon dorms, grew pot in my closet while looking as wholesome as John Denver, got a BS in ChE , and was one of Ted Gambordella's Jui Jitsu bad asses that could take a punch to the solar plexus.

My freshman year was in West Stadium dorm. It always smelled of sewage from the broken stadium pipes. In the fall it was hot as hell at night because it faced directly west into the sunset. My first two roommates were high school football players with blow out knees. The whole semester, they sat around in their underwear talking about not getting a 1000 yards their senior year.The whole semester, that's all heard about from those two, "1000 yards".

Next two were best buds, one thought he was Einstein because his picture was in the local small town paper. The other tacked up illicit pictures of his girlfriend, and letters with the saucier parts high lighted. He thought he was Hugh Hefner. I had albert einstein and hugh hefner wannabees. Both were taking remedial courses.

I think I was the only one to get a degree of the entire floor.
