• what res did you occupy in first year at queens?

  Queen's '06

• Leonard Hall, room 313, bed on the east side for the 1987-88 school year. Left an autograph on the drawer of the desk: "Cunning Stunt [my original Golden Words nom de plume] was here."

  Leonard Hall was all men back then (is it still?). Vic Hall was all women and "I spent the night in Vic" was a popular way to swagger. McNeill was all-guys and considered to be the rowdy place. Morris Hall was the only Main Campus co-ed residence. Chown had the nickname "The Nunnery", and we sometimes went to the Ban Righ cafeteria to check out girls.

  Oh, if I'd only had the accordion back then.

• And it's not "Queen's"! It's "Crazy Go Nuts University"! Google says so!

• Back then, you had to make do with your little Casio keyboard, if memory serves.

• The mattresses that are my fault are elsewhere!

• *snort* *giggle*

• Things have changed - Leonard went co-ed last year, Victoria Hall and McNeill have been co-ed for a while. You can still check out frosh girls at either Leonard or Ban Righ cafeterias.

• I was in Kingston this weekend, and apparently this year there are 10 16-year old frosh. WTF. seriously.

• Leonard? Co-ed? Say it ain't so!

  What about Chown? And Ban Righ?
