　　随手抓了件T恤就套在身上了，结果直到下午才发现我把它前后里外都穿反了，商标还露在前胸。

　　I couldn't figure out why no one in class would talk to me -- except for this one guy, KX Jin, he just went with it.

　　当时我还纳闷怎么没人理我，除了KX Jin，他丝毫没有在意这些，

　　We start doing our problem sets together, and now he runs a big part of Facebook.

　　And we met in line for the bathroom in the Pfoho Belltower, and in what must be one of the all time most romantic lines,

　　我们在Pfoho Belltower的卫生间外排队时遇见了，接下来发生了绝对是对我来说永生难忘的浪漫对话，

　　I turn to her and said: "I'm going to get kicked out in three days, so we need to go on a date quickly."

　　我对她说：“我三天后就要被赶出学校了，所以我们需要尽快开始约会。”
