Let me tell you some stories from the time I lived in the frosh lair at ITA in the São José dos Campos city in Brazil. The arrival, meeting other freshers, the gatherings, the start of new friendships, studying for exams, the long series of exercises, and the moments of fun at the campus cinema, in the Chess room, playing Go, at the pool table, in the TV room, in the photography lab, in the guitar course, swimming, soccer, watching the brilliant Eastern colleagues in table tennis matches, running, reading books from the academic center library, listening to Eldorado radio, visiting the chapel, attending the theoretical and practical classes at CPOR, the two marches, walks around the city and surroundings, trips to the canteen, the bookstore, the school fund, the academic center, the radio, the meat restaurant on the road, the theft of our flag, setting up our own generators after they cut the wires to our speakers, the velva, the altimeter, the compulsory second term, and many other stories.
