Unfortunately it was not the same for her. It seems that she spent more and more of her time daydreaming and talking to me than ever before and her grades took a rather steady downturn. She was upset by this but wasnlt too worried. Her grades were good and her last semester couldnlt make any appreciable Changes in her g.p.a. What in the world are you doing to my grades? she asked once. Before I met you, I had no trouble studying. But now, it seems like Ilm reading the same page over and over again. Its easy to figure out, I said. Youire obviously infatuated with me and more in- terested at looking at me than at Manage- rnent. This earned me a swift kick in the knee as well as one of her smiles that could melt you in a second. After studying during the week, we Spent almost all of our time dur- ing the weekend together. Hueston Woods was one of our favorite spots to go. What with the beach and the lake, it made for many a sun drenched afternoon. It was here that we had many of our by now infamous conversations on everything from politics to beer. I often questioned why she felt the way about some of the things that she did. But she was from such a different background ther father died when she was still young and here mother raised the familyl that we saw eye to eye on very few things. She was very much a free thinker while I often thought very conservatively. The one thing that we always agreed on was that we loved each other. Over the next several weeks, we saw each other as often as we could. We studied together, ate together, went to the movies together, played racquetball together, went drinking together at the Circle and went on a lot of long walks together. But more than any other activity, study- ing took up most of our time. If you want to do well at Miami you have to study. I Right: Hueston Woods and Acton Lake were favorite spots for many Miamians to enjoy a sun- ny day. On nice spring and fall days the beach was crowded with couples sunning and shooting the breeze. Far Right: When Burger King opened in-be-- tween semesters, it proved to be a popular place for all Oxfordians, especially late at night. After a long night of studying, Tony and Maria some- times went up to BK for a pop and a burger. 22 Six Weeks

knew this but didnt practice it too much. She on the other hand studied quite often. It seems like the only time I can see you is when we study, I said. 'Tm tired of studying - why dont you stop? I didnt make it this far without study- ing this much, she said. If you dont like it, you donlt have to stay here. She certainly put me in my place. But it was kind of discouraging to only see her with a book in front of her face. After studying was finished for the even- ing, we sometimes went out Chasing Hal- ley's Comet. It soon became one of our favorite pastimes and it was a pretty original idea, I thought. Besides, we couldnlt use that excuse for another 76 years. Aside from just messing around though, the whole time we were together there was the knowl- edge that we would soon be separated. We didn't meet until there were six weeks left in the school year and she was graduating;iI wasn't. Her grades were good enough to get her into Duke Law School. At this I was amazed - after all, girls dont go to law school, and especially not law schools that good. She was infuriated by this notion of chauvinist thinking. I cant even believe you said thatf, she said, responding to my thought that not many females were lawyers. Your thinking is so backwards some times. I worked my behind off for four years so I could go to graduate school. What difference does your sex make? The lady was right. I guess what I was most upset about was that she was going to be so far away from me in such a short period of time. I really liked her and I didnt know what I was going to do next year without her. I'd been so alone ever since I broke up Above: On that fateful first date, Tony and Ma- ria also engaged in another of many Miamians favorite activities. Kissing on the first date was not always customary, but most people did so anyway. Left: King Library was as much a place to study as it was a place to meet friends and put in some face time . In addition to studying, Maria and Tony also used King as a meeting place.
