i never did find out what her name was exactly, but it was 
something from an Asian language. i kept writing down phonetic
representations of it and ended up eventually calling her Lenora.

She sat next to me in Calculus III.
i took secret delight in stealing long stares at her arms - they 
had these fine, thin little black hairs that were really beautiful 
against the yellow of her skin. 

She was so smart and sharp and i was always intimidated by her
notebook - it was so neat and refined and almost a work of art - while
mine was a mess of scribbles. 

She impressed me one day by writing down the first 12 digits of pi 
effortlessly when a calculation called for a decimal value.
Hoping to impress her, i memorised as many digits of it as i could
and waited for a good opportunity to surprise her. The chance came
when one week the prof challenged those of us who dared to pick sections of
the next chapter to teach the class. i volunteered for the hardest
section before she even had a chance. i studied it to death until i had it
thoroughly mastered. so i chose, as my final problem to solve, one for which 
the solution was "2*pi". So i deliver my lecture and come to the last example
exercise and finally to the solution, "2*pi". Then, throwing a
smile to Lenora, i turn to the board to
write - "2 * 3.14159265358979323846264338327950288" and begin to
multiply it out by hand. she squeals in delight and starts laughing.

On the final exam the prof said we could bring in slide rules but
not calculators, as tho anyone in the 1990s owned or could operate
a sliderule. He was surprised when i brought mine in - a gift
from a retired engineer that i learned to use 
one cold and rainy day. But i was even more surprised when
Lenora motioned to borrow it during the exam for a quick computation.
I removed it from its aged leather case and passed it on over to her.
She handled my slipstick expertly and had her result computed and 
written down in under 10 seconds. She reset it and handed it back with 
a smile of thanks and i fell in total love with her right then and there.
i never saw her again.
