Quynh

In my last year at Queen's, I met Quynh at a residence staff dinner way back during training week and was told that she was the senior don of the building in which I would be living. That was par for the course - I ran into/met a lot of people that week. But here's the thing. The very next time I saw her, Quynh greeted me like she had known me for years. It took me by surprise because I simply did not expect such friendliness from someone, even if she WAS a senior don (I mean, hey, Dave was a senior don and he was Grumpy MaGee for most of the year until he stopped being single). That being said, I will always remember the kind of warmth that emanated from Quynh, even though I still, to this day, don't know her very well.

But that's the thing with Quynh! Every time I see her, she always sounds like she's thrilled to see me. She's kind, she's sympathetic, she's got a good sense of humor - she would have been an awesome don for whoever lived on her floor. I don't have too much to say about Quynh since we haven't known each other for very long (nor do we know each other particularly well) but this blog simply wouldn't be complete without her.

There are some people in this world who just... radiate warmth. Quynh is one of these people and I wanted to pay tribute to this rare and wonderful quality she has. I may not know very much about Quynh other than the fact that she HAS this trait but this - this outgoing display of care and sympathy - is enough to vault her into the awesome stratosphere.
