[MRM]

As a senior as an undergraduate business major I had to take a particular course my graduating semester. I refused to take an 8 am class and the only other one that worked in my schedule was a Tuesday/Thursday class with an insane professor who used to be Dean at some B school in Illinois. He assigned seating the first day of class - 20 males and 5 females, so we sat boy boy girl boy boy so every girl was surrounded by boys and every boy sat by one girl. He assigned small groups too: four boys and one girl to each group. Guess who I got assigned to sit next to and was the girl in my small group?

We didn't date that semester, never even crossed either of our minds. We ran into each other the summer after wegraduated and started hanging out. I went to law school that fall, she got her MBA, and we would travel to each other's schools to visit. Eventually our hanging out became dating. Our dating became engagement, and then we got married. There was a fair amount of mutual lust at the begning of the hanging out part. That kind of changed everything. Still don't know what I would have done if it wasn't for the old insane ex-dean.
