AS TOLD BY DAVID NINOMIYA
The logical thing for me to do would be to introduce myself to her because she looked kind of familiar, though I couldn't place her. One day, I start talking to her with something like "hey, you look familiar, do I know you from somewhere?". She tells me that yeah, last year we had accounting together. I usually sat next to my friend Lauri, so I was pretty oblivious to everyone else in the room, even though there were only like a dozen other students in the class.
Anyway, I'm feeling kinda bad that I didn't recognize/remember her from last year. The next day sucked ever more because when I went to my programming class, I saw Julie again. She was sitting right behind me, which come to find out, is where she always sits. Sheesh.
Of course that was nothing compared to the fact that I saw her again an hour later in my statistics class. This time I found out she normally sits right in front of me. She was in three of my four classes, always sat within one row of me, and I never noticed for a whole month. She was a good sport about my mental oversight, and to this day we're pretty good friends and help each other in our classes.
